Hi Adam,

thanks for the BCE project! It's great.

Question 1: In which package to put the data access classes? in the ebank project they reside inside the controller package, but I did expect them in the boundary package, because they do external communication as the database is an external system.

Question 2: Where to put the DTO entities?

Question 3: How to convert between domain entities and DTO entities? What about the following approach:

package com.test.user.entity;

public record User(String name, ...){
  
 public UserDTO toDto(){
      return new UserDTO(this.name, ...)
  }
  
  public static User fromDto(UserDTO dto){
      return new User(dto.username(), ...)
   }

}    

What do you think? Thank you in advance.
