Remarks
Enterprise Design Pattern: Domain Model, Identity Field. This is where your business logic resides. In this example there are none. Another place for business logic and business rules is in the Facade. For an example see CustomerFacade in the Facade layer. The Domain Model Design Pattern states that domain objects incorporate both behavior and data. Behavior may include simple or complex business logic. The Identity Field Design Pattern saves the ID field in an object to maintain identity between an in-memory business object and that database rows.
