Creating the domain model

First step in this tutorial is just to have some data to work with. We'll create a data model which will use a DAO pattern to appear similar to a real life business application, but we'll make things simple by just storing data in memory. This obviously isnt what you would do in production!

Tutorial source code

All the source code can be found in git:

https://github.com/miltonio/milton2/tree/master/examples/eclipse-tut-carddav

So lets start by creating our DAO, which will contain inner classes to represent

• users (ie those who can login to the app) and
• contacts (ie the data we want to appear in user's contacts lists)
