That was exactly the problem I faced - people copied some of my examples verbatim and then complained to me about it not matching their particular problem and how to fix it. It's why I labor the point so much in my design patterns presentation - that patterns are not code - and Fowler's point about examples being simplified, idealized code that should not be used as-is. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CFCDev" group.
