Hi
I'm fairly new to this OO process and design using Coldfusion, but from
following many of the discussions here, I think I've managed to setup a
half decent structure for my first application to utilise it (under
Fusebox/MVC). One wall (of many!) that I have hit at the moment is to do
with using a Manager/Facade to handle a user login.
When a user logs in, i pass these details to the relevant method in a
systemuserManager, where it performs the appropriate validation and
instantiates a systemuser BO into the session scope with the relevant
user data.
Included in a user's login however, i need to also store a Role object
in the session scope. A point to note, I have a roleManager in my system
for handling Role-related business methods. My code at the moment in the
login method is instantiating into the session scope a systemuser and
role object.
What my question is, should only the respective Managers be handling
their own business objects within the session scope (or at any level for
that matter)?
What I mean is that based on my code description above, I am
creating/handling a session scoped role object in the systemuserManager,
and it is getting to the stage where methods in my RoleManager also need
to handle this object, and no doubt other Managers down the track that
may need to access it.
Should I on the other hand have the Managers communicating with one
another? eg within the login method in the systemUser manager,
instantiate the systemuser into session scope THEN make a call to an
appropriate method in the roleManager that instantiates a role object
into the session scope? ... kind of like cross-talking Managers?
Thanks for any help or advice anyone can offer!
