Name
Composite Entity
Also Known As
Entity Façade
Goal
Efficiently represent a particular entity within the domain model, aggregating value from multiple sources or objects, in order to reduce complexity and communications overhead.
Notes
A composite entity aggregates data from a variety of sources into a single object. This is particularly useful in EJB environments, since it prevents a profusion of EJBs throughout the application.
