Domain Driven Development using Naked Objects 3.0

Are you using Hibernate or EJB3 in your application? If so then you probably believe that putting a domain object model in the center of your application is worthwhile. But just how good is that domain object model … how well does it capture the complexity of the domain in question? A domain expert can tell us, of course, but to get their views we need a way to show the domain model to them.

In this session I will show you how to build a domain-driven application using Naked Objects 3.0. With suggestions from the audience we'll use the (Eclipse-based) Naked Objects IDE to build it, test it and deploy it a domain application using either a rich client or web-based client. What we'll end up with a pojo-based domain model with well-defined semantics, that can be deployed using Naked Objects or any other framework, that's compliant with Hibernate and other pojo technologies. Should be good fun.
