Hi Sean, I'm just getting around to organizing my services by business unit (for example using an BillingService to create manage Orders, OrderItems, Invoices, PaymentMethods, Payments, etc.) In my service, I have methods like , newOrder(), newInvoice(), newPaymentMethod() and conversely, saveOrder(), saveInvoice() and savePaymentMethod().
If you use your services to create new object instances, then I'm assuming you have methods like newFoo() and newBar(), why is it 'ugly' to have saveFoo() and saveBar()?
