thank you all for your input...
Domain Objects sometimes (quite often:)) need other services
to meet their function. if you retrieve your entities from say Hibernate
you can use the Tuplizer to inject any other services you need.
You can also achieve this if you ALWAYS create your Domain
Objects using a factory that has all necessary dependencies injected.
the problem is the "new" operator. every time i create a Domain Object
manually i'd have to have all dependencies ready and pass them to the new
instance through the contructor (or setter methods). and sometimes it does
not feel right to have a service injected into a Domain Object only because
it could instantiate another object that needs this service.
i thought a solution to this problem were to use a library for class manipulation
that would generate code for injecting the needed dependencies from the
registry... or more precisly assign the generated proxies. But then i have
this chicken-egg dilemma: how can i use and reference a registry that does
not exist yet.
i think i'm going to try creating a class that holds a static reference to
the registry and use it to generate the proxies... if it doesn't work i'll
make all constructors private or package private so nobody else
except the factories can instantiate them :)
as pointed out by jeffrey i could also pass in the services as needed
but i think this approach will bloat the methods of my domain objects.
have you used this approach on a big codebase? doesn't it have some
negative effects on the expressiveness of the Domain Objects?

I meant domain class, sorry.
