Design decision - data objects

[D Rog]

Data objects, what do you use, annotated class members or hash map? I think a hash map is more flexible especially can automatically adapt to data mode changes. Any opinions?

[Mark Spritzler]

Not sure what you mean, I use data objects to be a more OO representation of my data, to think in my domain world, to think like I would think in the real world. Not thinking I have maps, and maps of maps, and what is that List I have in the Map of Maps of Maps. I like thinking I have an Address for my User, or I have an Item to for each Order Detail in my Order.

I'm pretty sure that annotatated classes are the trend.
