Hi
I was reading about DAO patterns in various threads here and some examples of the implementation.
There is one thing I am not clear with, is the use of DAO factory.
why can't we do
daoObj = new DAOClass() ; wherever we want to use it instead of the factory method returning the same
TIA

you can, but you tie your business objects to the persistence mechanism you're using (IOW : the DAO class).
