Yeah, it is something for a presentation, so show it important. http://ayende.com/2616/how-to-read-a-single-customer-entity-from-the-database#comment9http://ayende.com/2616/how-to-read-a-single-customer-entity-from-the-database#comment9Mon, 02 Jul 2007 21:23:09 GMTKind of pattern happy there are we ayende ;) http://ayende.com/2616/how-to-read-a-single-customer-entity-from-the-database#comment8http://ayende.com/2616/how-to-read-a-single-customer-entity-from-the-database#comment8Mon, 02 Jul 2007 21:15:08 GMTThat scuppers that plan. Maybe you could put the example up for download when you are done with it? IT would be nice to see how you go about unit testing it etc. http://ayende.com/2616/how-to-read-a-single-customer-entity-from-the-database#comment7http://ayende.com/2616/how-to-read-a-single-customer-entity-from-the-database#comment7Mon, 02 Jul 2007 20:53:30 GMTI would like to, but it is going to be in Hebrew, and I don't know if I will be able to have a mic to the computer there. http://ayende.com/2616/how-to-read-a-single-customer-entity-from-the-database#comment6http://ayende.com/2616/how-to-read-a-single-customer-entity-from-the-database#comment6Mon, 02 Jul 2007 20:51:34 GMTAyende would you put the talk presentation online. I have recently been thinking about best to develop applicatings using Castle and Monorail. Most examples use the model as a data access layer but the problems I have with this is that if you want to introduce services things get tricky. This example would really help. I know the way around this is to introduce the repository pattern but I haven't investigated this thoroughly. http://ayende.com/2616/how-to-read-a-single-customer-entity-from-the-database#comment5http://ayende.com/2616/how-to-read-a-single-customer-entity-from-the-database#comment5Mon, 02 Jul 2007 20:47:03 GMTPeter, That is for a talk that I am going to give tomorrow. It is showing an aspect of how to build a real application. http://ayende.com/2616/how-to-read-a-single-customer-entity-from-the-database#comment4http://ayende.com/2616/how-to-read-a-single-customer-entity-from-the-database#comment4Mon, 02 Jul 2007 19:29:14 GMTIsn't this awfully...

But I wanted to make a clearer separation of the service and implementation http://ayende.com/2616/how-to-read-a-single-customer-entity-from-the-database#comment2http://ayende.com/2616/how-to-read-a-single-customer-entity-from-the-database#comment2Mon, 02 Jul 2007 16:32:34 GMTabout your nomenclature: which classes do you call XxxxImpl ? http://ayende.com/2616/how-to-read-a-single-customer-entity-from-the-database#comment1http://ayende.com/2616/how-to-read-a-single-customer-entity-from-the-database#comment1Mon, 02 Jul 2007 16:13:36 GMT
