I took a look at someone's code here and I am trying to understand its architecture:
We are looking at a classic enterprise architecture using Spring core for dependency injection.
FavoriteService
User
UserDao
UserDaoWithMap
Users
I understand the following enterprise roles are in place:
service: FavoriteService
model: User
dao: UserDao, UserDaoWithMap
However, I don't understand what enterprise role the 'Users' class fulfills. I don't see where in the architecture it fits - it looks to me like some sort of helper class. Though, it does look like it has business value because it uses the UserDao.
Does anyone see any standard
pattern here? Does the 'Users' class have an enterprise purpose or is it just some custom helper class?
I think it is a Manager/Controller type of class.
