[CFCDev] object persistence

[Stephen]

I'm curious what approach people use for persisting objects in the db.  
Let's say I have a Person object.  Is it better to have that Person 
object contain all of the Business methods to work on the object as well 
as the methods to persist itself or is it better to set up a separate 
PersonDAO object that deals with all of the database interactions and 
keep all database interaction out of the Person object?

Along those lines, I'm also curious how people actually do their 
updates.  Do you first update all of the properties of an object and 
then call a Persisit() method or when a setter method is called do you 
have it update the object property and then update that property in the 
db?  Seems like a lot of extra db traffic to do it the second way but it 
would cut down on some persistance logic.

I'm still a little new at working with CFCs in a more OO way so any help 
would be greatly appreciated.
