Hi, all!
When I create new methods in the local service classes generated by Service Builder, I used to use the persistence util class. For example, in this way:
public class StuffLocalServiceImpl extends StuffLocalServiceBaseImpl {
// ...
public List<stuff> getStuffsBySomeParameter(String parameter) {
List<stuff> stuffs = StuffUtil.getStuffs();
// Process results
return stuffs;
}
}</stuff></stuff>
But the local service classes has an instance of the persistence class injected, and it is commonly used in some services, more or less this way
public class StuffLocalServiceImpl extends StuffLocalServiceBaseImpl {
// ...
public List<stuff> getStuffsBySomeParameter(String parameter) {
List<stuff> stuffs = stuffPersistence.getStuffs();
// Process results
return stuffs;
}
}</stuff></stuff>
What is the better way of executing persistence operations?
BTW, what is the purpose of the util classes which encapsulates the persistence classes? I cannot use them e.g. inside a portlet. Where can I use them? For what purpose?
