If you have an untouchable legacy DB, even worst if it is not ORM oriented, you can choose other solutions more oriented to fit your needs (as for example iBatis).Fabio Maulohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13558454874302740335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3924739636407907202.post-79240773300909438892010-04-22T12:23:03.468-03:002010-04-22T12:23:03.468-03:00What about people who don't want to write a ha...What about people who don't want to write a hand rolled data access layer to access a legacy database? Maybe they would like to use a well engineered quality solution, like NHibernate, to read from and persist to that database instead?<br /><br />Legacy databases exist and people (including myself) need to write software that reads data from them, regardless about how they feel about that, somike_doherty30https://www.blogger.com/profile/11874802439440775930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3924739636407907202.post-5952567683776235492009-06-30T06:53:59.328-03:002009-06-30T06:53:59.328-03:00Writing a service layer is only a solution if all ...Writing a service layer is only a solution if all clients can talk to the software layer. eg .Net to .Net, or Soap client to Soap Server or (in my case DCOM to .Net ServicedComponent). Yes, it's possible, but I'm having to translate all NH results (lists, sets) into variant arrays to transfer over DCOM to IDispatch clients.
