Computer framework and method for isolating a business component from specific implementations of a datastore

A method for isolating a business component from specific implementation of a datastore, comprising:

• (a) interfacing a database wrapper to a business component;
• (b) implementing the database wrapper;
• (c) interfacing a domain object factory to the database wrapper;
• (d) implementing the domain object factory;
• (e) interfacing a domain object to the domain object factory;
• and
• (f) implementing the domain object to retrieve data from a datastore, wherein the database wrapper provides an additional abstraction layer between the domain object factory and the business component;
• wherein the domain object factory comprises a domain object interface in communication with the database wrapper and a domain object factory implementation implementing the domain object;
• wherein the domain object comprises a domain object interface in communication with the domain object factory and a domain object implementation retrieving data from a datastore;
• and
• wherein data is converted from a persistent state to a transient state prior to being passed from the database wrapper to the business component.

A method for isolating a business component from specific implementation of a datastore, comprising:

• (a) supplying a database wrapper;
• (b) using the database wrapper to begin a database session;
• (c) using the database wrapper to obtain a domain object factory;
• (d) using the domain object factory to create a domain object;
• (e) converting the domain object from a persistent state to a transient state;
• (f) ending the database session;
• and
• (g) returning the domain object to the business component, wherein the database wrapper provides an additional abstraction layer between the domain object factory and the business component;
• wherein the domain object factory comprises a domain object interface in communication with the database wrapper and a domain object factory implementation implementing the domain object;
• wherein the domain object comprises a domain object interface in communication with the domain object factory and a domain object implementation retrieving data from a datastore;
• and
• wherein data is converted from a persistent state to a transient state prior to being passed from the database wrapper to the business component.
