I know, off course, that there is an implementation of the active record pattern available. And for using it with Rails for tasks of midrange complexity I consider it to be perfect. But since this aproach suffers from some limitations, I would like to know if there are efforts on the way to build a fully featured DataGateWay/UnitOfWork/IdentityMap Framework? I would prefer having it done this way because of the following problems in my daily work: - No control over the database layout (this is supposed to happen very often) - Business logic far beyond the point of CRUD operations - I don't want to have database like operations (i.e save) in the domain code, all I want there is sending the commit/abort signal to the Unit of Work. I want to be totaly indepent from the database. This feels more "correct" to me. Who knows something about this subject, or is there a better place for a discussion about it?
