Repository and Entity in separate projects?

[Anton Hughes]

Hello

I am working on a multi-maven sculptor based project. The basic structure is:

• Shared - common domain objects
  
• Service - server application for persisting domain objects
  
• Client - client library working with services using common domain objects.
  

I would like to define my entities in the shared project, and repositories in the service project. However this does not seem to be possible, as Sculptor expects a repository to be defined inside an entity. 

Or, is it actually possible?

Thanks

Sculptor is about DDD. In DDD repositories are used to access aggregate roots and aggregate roots are entities. This is the reason for defining a repository within the corresponding aggregate root entity in Sculptor models.

So if you don't like Sculptors way of generating entities and repositories together then you can extend / override the corresponding Sculptor templates, e.g. RepositoryTmpl.
