I am developing an app in DDD manner. And I have a little problem with it.

I have a Fare (airline fare) and FareRepository objects. And at some point I should load additional fare information and set this information to existing Fare.

I guess that I need to create an Application Service (FareAdditionalInformationService) that will deal with obtaining data from the server and than update existing Fare. However, some people said me that it is necessary to use FareRepository for this problem.

I don't know wich place is better for my problem Service or Repository.

I read this question and it got me thinking about another fairly recent thing. Object oriented languages. I'm not sure when the first one was created, but why did it take so long before they became mainstream? C became vastly popular, but didn't become the object-oriented C++ for years(decades… >>> More
