I’m learning Hibernate and myEcIDE is definately helping. I apologize if this more of general Java questions, but what the heck….

The Hibernate tool makes DAO classes and that’s nice, but I’m thinking that I would prefer to make the DAO classes “plurals” of the object the access and then to make all the methods static. So say I have a class named ‘Request’ and I wanna Hibernate all over its bad self. Then I could write:

Request r = Requests.findByID(“1234”);
r.myVar = “newValue”;
Requests.save(r);

What do you think?

Thanks!
And keep up the great work.

This sounds more like a feature request to control the naming of the DAO’s, so instead of “DAO” suffix, you could just have an “s” suffix… I think it makes perfect sense.

The only reason we do DAO is because it’s a relatively wide-spread JEE standard, and people immediately know what the classes do seeing them. But I think we could open this up to customization. I’ll file that feature request.
