Subject: Persistence with JDBC ??? 2005-10-11 - By J=?ISO-8859-1?Q?=F8rn_=D8lmheim?=
Back Hi Juan.
We were in the same place you are now about five years ago. We had an old legacy system filled with PL/SQL logic that we wanted to move to J2EE. We started out trying to reuse the database as much as possible, and tried to build our home-grown JDBC based persistence framework to do this. This has not been successful.
Over the last five years, our knowledge of J2EE has evolved, and our plans have changed accordingly. I see that you're not using EJBs, and this is good. We started out using lots of them, but now its all SPRING. We've also used the practices of Eric Evans Domain Driven Design to build rich domain models for our business logic to replace the old PL/SQL code. This turns out to be a lot more maintainable and faster too. We use JDO with a clean database to store the domain model.
I really think this is the way to go, as we've been trying all the different steps in between over the course of the last five years.
Best regards, J?rn ?lmheim
