Develop the Data Transfer Object

Explore how to develop data transfer objects in Java that handle one-to-one self-referencing relationships. Understand the design approach where a Student entity can reference another Student as a mentor, while encapsulating internal data structure details from the user interface team. This lesson equips you to implement clean object representations for complex relational models in Java applications.
