I could not disagree more. There is no "one ultimate OO way" of doing 
things. Nor is it clear cut whether any program fragment is "OO" or not. 
Neither does OO mean you have to have an object model that is separate 
from the UI (or any other part of the system). Why would coupling an 
object model to the UI be any worse than coupling it to the database? In 
most cases I would strive to decouple it from both.

OO is a programming methodology, just like functional programming and 
even procedural programming. Neither methodology prescribes a single 
solution for any problem.

And I am not using Java (which I consider only a weakly Object Oriented 
language). I program in Scala but I am using the JVM and my share of 
Java libraries.
