Actually, SDO object is a common but special DTO object.
A DTO object normally has some structure; otherwise how do users know what
to get from it ? :)
It has some dynamic feature similiar to XML, what's more, it has no
static setter/getter method, so hibernate won't recognize it as a
JavaBean object
dynamic-map mode in hibernate is good, but not enough, I'm not sure
whether it can support inheritance and relationship as good as POJO.
the lack of setter/getters is not a problem since we have both Tuplizer
and PropertyAccessors to deal with this.
And the dynamic part is probably not something you want to reflect down to
the persistence layer/db since then
you would end up having a schema layout of two tables Entities and
Attributes which is rarely usefull.
I'm not up to speed with how a SDO actually looks like. Is it something
like:
class Employee extends SDOObject {
public String getName() {
return getAttribute("name").asString();
}
public int getAge() {
return getAttribute("age").asInt();
}
public Set getFriends() ..
}
or
SDOObject employee = new SDOObject("Employee);
employee.setAttribute("name", "Ed");
employee.setAttribute("age", 12);
employee.setCollection("friends", <set of other SDO's>)
?
The first one should be trivial to do
The second one is harder since it requires you to be explicit about what
"type" the actual instance is.

Hi all:
I'm developing SDO(Service Data Object) implementation, and when I
wanna persist them Hibernate is the first one came to my mind. I tried
it's dynamic-map mode, but that's not what i expected, I want to
customize Hibernate to make it full SDO support. For the sake of
safety,
the minimal classes needed to be overrided or changed, the better.
Any hibernate guru can show me the right way? very thankful!
What are the problems you are forseeing with SDO's ?
Could you sum up the differences there are between a JavaBean and SDO ?
Is SDO's completely dynamic and has no fixed structure ?
