Isn't what you wrote just a restatement of what I wrote? Perhaps my statements just weren't clear.
I don't think so. You said:
"In my environment a DAO is the object that is the result of reading from the database (or some other source)."
To me this means (more or less) that you read from the db and as a result you get an object whose fields contain values from the database columns.
If this is what you mean, it isn't a DAO. This is a DAO:
Dao myDao = daoFactory.getDao(); SomeClass valueObject = myDao.find(pk);
"valueObject" is the result of reading. "myDao" is what you use to read it.
Sorry to be nitpicking, but since this thread revolves around nomenclature, we'd better agree on what each term means exactly.
