[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Domain design with EJB3 and Seam

Hi, My question is about access level modifiers in the model design (with EJB3 entity and Seam). For example, I'd like to have something like that : | @Entity | public class MyUser | extends XXX | { | private String login; | | protected MyUser() | { | // used by EJB3 | } | | public MyUser(String login) | { | this.setLogin(login); | } | | public String getLogin() | { | return this.login; | } | | protected void setLogin(String login) | { | this.login = login; | } | } | So that "login" cannot be modified (~final). EJB3 specs allow the protected constructor (i don't know about the setter), but anyway, Seam requires a public no-args constructor and a public setLogin. For me that's not a good design practice since the entity is then merely a C struct. What are your opinion about that ? Am i doing something wrong ?
