Beans (or Business Objects) are representations of real entities in your application's domain. In a shopping application, you'd have products, customers, orders, etc., each corresponding to a BO. "bean" can mean several other things as well, but in this context, this is the usual definition.
Managers are typically objects whose sole purpose is to manage BOs (surprise!). So they are the object you ask for a new BO of whatever type, or ask to persist a BO to the backing data store. Managers are a specialization of Factories, which are just for creating instances of objects. cheers, barneyb On 8/23/05, wolf2k5 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 8/23/05, Nando <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > From the general tone of your question, it sounds like you have a bit of > > studying to do. > > Yes, you are right, I am new to this OOP stuff and I have a lot to > study and I am doing it right now. > I am finding the OOP terminology a bit confusing for a newbie. > > I am still not sure if the "DAO, Gateway, and Manager" approach for an > OOP application and the "DAO, Bean and Gateway" one are the same > thing, that would mean that a Manager and a Bean are the same thing. > > If not, what is the difference? > > Thanks a lot. > -- Barney Boisvert [EMAIL PROTECTED] 360.319.6145 http://www.barneyb.com/ Got Gmail?
