I have a question about one of the design decisions regarding the hibernate code generation for the Spring cartridge:
The hibernate velocity templates for the Spring cartridge produce an inner factory class for each hibernate entity generated. My understanding is that one of the key benefits Spring provides is to allow developers to define factory creation of objects in its framework. The problem that I am having is that I do not see the reason for using the factory pattern when MDA and Inversion of Control is used. Adding factory classes seems to add extra weight and complicate the design in my mind. I am still reading about and experimenting with the Spring framework so I don't know all of its limitations yet, but what am I missing?
