Hey Ray, I just got done arguing with Doug Hughes about this, and I think it really comes down to which school of thought you come from.
> all the SQL code for a particular bean For me, cohesion takes precedence over editing two files instead of one. I'm probably twisting your words (not to use against you, though!), but to me what you said summarizes why my opinion is from the singular school - all the SQL code for a particular (instance of) a bean lies in one file, but all of the SQL for dealing with multiple instances lies in a seperate gateway file. Gateways can get complicated, applying collections of filters, joins in SQL, etc. I think this begins to dilute the purpose of the DAO. I just made a long blog post on DAOs at (http://clearsoftware.net/client/index.cfm?mode=entry&entry=3D1115E7-E081-2BAC-6953DA4394855DDB) and talk about this some in an update at the end. -joe -- For Tabs, Trees, and more, use the jComponents: http://clearsoftware.net/client/jComponents.cfm ---------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to cfcdev.
