Matt, I have been studying your code in great depth these last two weeks. I have noted that you populate an array of addresses and pass it to the person bean, all in the personAddressService.cfc.
I was about to implement your code when I found another example (from an unknown source - no comments in the files). The files were from a DCCFUG presentation. What they have done is pass the person service the reference to the address gateway and then return a query of addresses. Either way, I think I've got I understand how to create the one-to-many relationship and such. However, what I am wondering is if it is just as well to simply call each object seperately. Call the getPerson() method of the personService and pass in the person id and return a person object. Then call the getAddresses() method of the addressService and pass in the person id and return a query of addresses with a matching personid. What is best OO practices? -Aaron On 12/7/06, Matt Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 12/7/06, Aaron Roberson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > 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).
