Anemic Domain Model anti-pattern

[David Tildesley <da...@yahoo.co.nz>]

With all that talk of View Objects and Services, I  thought it would timely to remind folk of a well known quote:

“In
general, the more behavior you find in the services, the more likely you are to
be robbing yourself of the benefits of a domain model. If all your logic is in
services, you've robbed yourself blind”. – Michael Fowler,
2003 (Anemic Domain Model anti-pattern)

Thanks, David, very timely.

The RRRADDD! slide deck accompanying the tutoraial attempts to summarise
this same point [1]

Cheers
Dan

PS: you'd've thought that Fowler by now would have discovered the naked
objects pattern and had something useful to say about it.  I remember being
at a conference many years ago when he did the keynote, and he chose UI
patterns as his topic.  I thought: great, we'll get a bit of coverage here.
 Instead all he talked about on about subtleties of the MVC and MVP
patterns.  Very disappointing.
