There are literally hundreds of Java web frameworks out there for building the presentation layer, and dozens or more taking care of infrastructure concerns such as persistence, messaging and web services. But what of the most important layer of all, the domain layer?

Naked Objects is a framework to help you develop the domain layer using the principles of domain-driven design. In the same way that Hibernate automatically persists your pojos to an RDBMS, Naked Objects takes your pojos and automatically creates an object-oriented user interface, running either client/server or on the web. Exposing the domain objects in this way rapidly develops the ubiquitous language, while supporting a model-driven design.

Come along and join in a discussion on how Naked Objects supports DDD. Likely discussion areas include: prototyping vs full-stack development, customizing or replacing the UI; supporting agile acceptance testing with FitNesse; integrating with RESTful or ESB-style architectures; extending supporting other programming models.
