    <p>I have question about how to "correctly" write my application.</p> <p>I would like to follow the service/DAO/mapper/entity model and I think that I fully understand it but I found out that some things which I want to do might collide with general conception of this model.</p> <p>I have these database tables: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/n8ugl.png" alt="Product table and it&#39;s related table - manufacturers"></p> <p>I have simple ProductDbMapper which gets product's data from database and returns them as a Product entity so I can use it like this:</p> <pre><code>echo $productEntity-&gt;getName(); $productEntity-&gt;setPrice(29.9); </code></pre> <p>I think that it would be great to be able to use somethink like this:</p> <pre><code>echo $productEntity-&gt;getManufacturer()-&gt;getName(); </code></pre> <p>The "getManufacturer()" method would simply query another service/DAO for the manufacturer by id. I know that the correct way how to get manufacturer of a product is:</p> <pre><code>$product = $productService-&gt;getProduct(5); $manufacturer = $manufacturerService-&gt;getManufacturerByProduct($product); </code></pre> <p>But I think that "the fluent" solution is much simplier - it's easy to understand and fun to use. Actually it's pretty natural. I tried to implement this by callbacks. I passed the callback which calls manufacturer's service to Product entity in my ProductMapper.</p> <p>Problem is that it looks like I'm trying to follow the 5 layer model and at the same time I'm trying to avoid it. So my question is: does this look like a good solution? Does it make sense? How could I achieve the same (magic) in better way?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
