You'd have to lay out all of the details of the use case for us to really
lock this, but let me get you thinking in a direction . . .

You can see my live non-OO site at
http://whitehorsemedia.com/articles/index.cfm. On that page you will
notice that I have a top four most frequently viewed articles column.
Every time someone goes to the articles detail page, the query that
returns the single record is accompanied by another query that
implements the views field by 1. I would like to list the top four
most viewed articles total as well as the top view articles of the
week (which I am not exactly sure how to do...).

I would like to do the same for article categories, products, etc.

Your ProductService should have access to your ViewCounterService (if you
use ColdSpring or LightWire, just use constructor or setter injection to
make it available). Then in your various view methods within the product
service, call ViewCounterService.addView("Product",ProductID) and the
ViewCounterService will add a view of the Product object to whatever
ViewCounter table it uses via the ViewCounterDAO which handles all database
interaction for the ViewCounter object.

I can make good sense out of most of it, but I don't really understand
why you would have access to the viewCounterService from the
productService and then call
viewCounterService.addView("Product","productid) from within the
productService. Why not just call viewCounterService directly from the
product details page? Also, would I init the viewCounterGateway and
pass it in to a setViewCounterGateway() method in the ProductService
and then call the viewCounterGateway as
variables.viewCounterGateway.addView("Product","productid")?

Thank you and thank you and thank you!
