Yeah, that solution took me a lot of  brainstorming :-) I  did not have the
line number, so instead I just copied and pasted what I had on my box. It
was past midnight.

Question: with ActiveRecord pattern, where do you keep the business logic?
I feel a bit hesitant to mix business logic with database logic, even if
the latter is fairly abstracted away. So I use activeJDBC models as a
wrapper around my business object. Though I've only been playing with
ActiveJDBC for 2 days, so that may change.

we have been using AJ for over 3 years, and a general pattern is to add static 
methods to models to wrap more complicated DB access than stock AJ API 
provides. When a complex interaction  is necessary, we create a simple Java 
service class (Facade pattern) and write that interaction in this class(es). 
Internally it is like a service and interacts potentially with multiple models. 
So, the rule of thumb: 
1. If you need complex interactions against a single table (or at most two), 
create a static method on model
2. If you need more complex interactions, business rules, operations on 
multiple models, write a service class - just plain Java code. 
hope this helps, 
thanks
