Re: [TDD] Examples of Pojo Free Code?

George - thanks (BTW with Ron you seem to be the person I know of the most mailing lists - we need to get you some more work :-)
I think I touched on your wrapper approach in my previous email. Like you I have used it in the past as an approach but it requires additional discipline from the dev team. Scrum already tries their discipline and I wish to conserve its use :-)
Danke
Mark

I don't have any examples to show, but a pattern I've used successfully
is to encapsulate the "data object" within a business domain object.
Typically I've used the data object as a parameter to the domain object
consctructor, and provided a getter for when (if) I needed to recover
the primitive for some reason. Often the user (ORM in this case) doesn't
actually need a data-only object, anyway. It just needs some
bean-pattern getters and setters for the fields it's to understand.
