I know what you are doing SoulOfReality but I didn't understand what thona was proposing as an alternative. He said to use c# and binary remoting, but obviously this is not available on the unix oracle server.
* You DO know that an object is STATE and METHOD? A "transport class" is not a business object. You should really work with real objects. The "Doer" classes (Service- or process classes) are fine. But they should NOT NEVER EVER handle DB connections. THis is
not their responsibility, it is the responsibility of the - data layer. He's talking about the Value Object pattern, its pretty well accepted. It is not object-oriented so much as solution oriented - its appropriate for sending data between processes so you
aren't marshalling fine-grained method accesses. You might say that you could do that with a true object that had its methods and its properties together, and you'd be right. But if you want your methods to only execute in the BLL in a discrete process, then
you can't provide them to the presentation layer - even if he promises not to call them ;).
