In my current gig I occasionally run across a gem when looking through their code. I can't post the actual class, but one example is the User domain object. It looks innocent enough until you open it.

public class User {
    ...
    public String getFirstName() {
        return firstName;
    }
    
    ...
    
    public List<Transaction> getRecentTransactions() {
        return someSoapServiceProxy.getRecentTransactions(userId)
    }
    
    ...
    
    public List<Contact> getAlarmContacts() {
        connection = dataSource.getConnection();
        pstmt = connection.prepareStatement(query);
        ...
        resultSet = pstmt.executeQuery();
        ...
    }
}

So, this "domain" object reaches out (in several places) to a service and to a database. One of many offenses that make me wonder where this company was getting its developers.

Well, I suppose it COULD be part of a virus or other related content.

That's pretty much the only direction I see it going, unless it was a bank or something...
