I'm just looking at the latest petstore (1.1.2) and seeing that they use the
structure of a separate model object within each entity bean to hold the
persistent attributes. They provide a method getDetails() which will return
this object to a client. This seems to be the anti-pattern to facade, build
a facade and then expose the data structures behind the facade to the client
directly. It directly couples the client to the structure of the database.
I know the big argument is that it saves a few lines of code, but it seems
like a Faustian bargain. Does this rub anybody else the wrong way?
Cheers
Jay
