No DTOs (data transfer objects) are maintained. This may be feasible for certain type of domain models, such as without inheritance and polymorphism. If it is running on a rich client such as Swing or C#, or B2B through web services, I wonder one can avoid using DTOs. Are there frameworks facilitating management of DTOs? Very nice article, and good usage of Spring IoC for decoupling layers via interfaces. |

Hibernate does indeed let you persist private fields, and this feature can be used to move business rules into the domain layer when appropriate.
Also, I have contributed to an XDoclet module to generate DTOs from metadata in the domain model, called XSnapshot.
