Transaction Script = ADM?

It would seem that your project might be suffering the side effects of an anemic domain model. As I have observed that these models tend to be used mostly with a transaction script style design, I will use these two terms interchangeably.

What I’ve achieved by applying the DDD patterns is the elimination of those transaction scripts and (most) services. The transaction script (e.g. struts action in a web application if you’re so inclined) is simply responsible for finding an appropriate entry-point into the domain, then telling that domain class to do some work.
