I'm not a big fan of Ixxx naming pattern for interfaces. +1 for =
renaming
them to something else.

ISqlMapTemplate


Everybody,
=20
Due to a recent request, I've just extracted IHibernateTemplate and
ISqlMapTemplate interfaces, analogous to IJdbcTemplate that Rod =
introduced a
while ago. They are intended to ease mocking for unit-testing DAOs, for
those who want to mock at this level. For typical DAO implementations, =
the
standard template classes are good enough, allowing for mocks of the
underlying persistence tool and live tests against a database.
=20
However, I wonder about the naming. We don't have the I* pattern =
anywhere
else in the framework; on the other hand, we need to keep the old =
template
names for compatibility (and some templates don't lend themselves for =
such
an interface, like JdoTemplate). IHibernateTemplate etc doesn't worry =
me,
but maybe a different name like HibernateOperations would be better?
Essentially, those interfaces specify a set of data access operations =
for a
particular persistence tool.
=20
The naming isn't too important, though, as it will not be the main API =
that
people will work with; the template classes will be. We'll just let the
templates implement those operation interfaces to allow for mocking =
them if
desired. BTW, iBATIS SQL Maps is all based on concrete classes rather =
than
interfaces, not allowing to mock the persistence tool itself.
