In the monk Landhwa’s current Java project, domain objects
in the business tier were fairly similar to their
corresponding form-input objects in the web tier. Since the
property names were often the same as well, the monk had
seized upon reflection as an easy way of copying most of the
data from one tier to the other. Master Kaimu heard and
chose to investigate.
After studying the monk’s code, Kaimu withdrew a brass flask
from his robes, took a long sip, then lifted a tea-candle to
his lips and blew hard. A streak of blue flame shot from his
mouth right past the monk’s shoulder.
“What are you doing?” cried Landhwa, patting out the flames
on his robe.
“Lighting the seven candles on the far wall,” said Kaimu.
Both men looked across the room at the scorched paper
screens. Kaimu frowned, picked up his tea-candle and
wearily started across the room.
