WebObjects is inherently MVC.

An eomodel is a OR mapping; you access them using EOModeler, or by  
included them in your project.  See the links below for more details.

See any simple example.  Facade is not a good pattern to use with  
EOs, because it is unnecessary.

Start with the examples in /Developer/Examples/JavaWebObjects/, and  
with http://developer.apple.com/tools/webobjects/index.html,  
especially http://developer.apple.com/documentation/WebObjects/ 
Web_Applications/index.html
