So I created a new maven pom based webapp using intelliJ 11.

Now I want to separate out my various layers of the application, so I currently I have:

/myproj
/myproj-common (maven module)
/myproj-services (maven module)
/src/main/webapp  (spring mvc application)

So I am using the following:

spring mvc
hibernate

So I will create Dao for each entity, and then a service layer that will use the Dao’s and wrap other business logic etc.

How should I setup my maven modules properly without making it too complicated?

Should I create a separate interface module that my other modules will use?

Looking for some practical advice.

I’m using maven to build this also.

I tried this before and moving things into separate modules can’t be a little tricky, so looking for some guidance on how to do this.

Update

Should I have a separate module for my entities also?

    The simplest way is use only one maven module and do separation on package level.

    If you need more I can recomend this setup:

    myproj-services – entity classes, service interfaces
    myproj-services-impl – implementation dao and services
    myproj-ui – your spring mvc classes

    Ui depends only on services and services-impl depends only on services.
