I have an OO newbie question about ORM and composition. Is it better to create a "has-a" relationship between one-to-many objects than to just invoke the objects separately?
For instance, I have a product object (bean, DAO, gateway and service) and a product items object (bean, DAO, gateway, service). Each product has many product items. Is it better to map the product items to the product object (array, struct or query) through the product's service layer or to just invoke each object and pass them the product id? I hope my question is clear. Thanks for your help, Aaron ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
