I just wrote a long (and messy) blogpost about my view on domain-driven design at present day, with frameworks like spring and hibernate massively in use.

I'd ask you to spot any problems with my views on the matter - why this won't work, why it isn't giving the benefits of DDD, why it is not a good idea in general.

The blogpost is here (I don't think I need to copy-paste it on SO - if you think I should, tell me).

I know the question is subjective, but it is aimed at gathering the most predominant opinions.

(I'm tagging Java, since the frameworks discussed are Java frameworks)

Hello. I'm designing a software. I want to store the times a user visits a place, and I want to show a visit history for that user or place. I think, visit is a class, and visit history, is it a class? I don't know how to represent visit history on my UML model. Thank you. >>> More
