Far and away the best methodology for developing a domain model is UML Modeling in Color. See Peter Coad’s book Java Modeling in Color with UML for more information. You can’t go wrong if you use this approach.

Hi Daniel!

Thanks for your comment. I am actually surprise that you have never seen a satisfactory domain model implementation, in my opinion is the base for any good application. I would like to believe that in the projects I have worked in, we have been successful creating a good enough Domain Model, I’ll try to post more articles about this subject.

It sounds like you are a proponent of a “rich” domain model. It is commendable that you see the benefits of an object oriented design in a language that was designed to be object oriented.

But in practice, I have never seen a satisfactory implementation of this. Inevitably, myriad compromises need to be made for persistence, the object life-cycle and other services that don’t quite fit the model.

If you have had success with this technique, I’d love to see more blog posts on the subject.
