Wow, I forgot the link... that's even worse than forgetting an attachment...

Bob,

This is the closest thing we have to a document describing dependencies (or at least intended dependencies...) between components.

The code you site (ContactHelper.formatCreditCard) should go into accounting instead of party. I'm not sure if it violates the dependency (ie things in party should not depend on things in accounting). What would be nice at some point is to clean up these dependencies, even looser dependencies like entities and services that are only used at runtime.

I was recently working on formatting some payment methods / financial
accounts and I came across ContactHelper.formatCreditCard that was part of the Party component. This felt odd to me since the CreditCard entity is defined in Accounting and there did not seem to be any direct relationship between Party and Accounting (at least at the code level in build.xml).

Is there an implied dependency graph between components under application or should they all be siblings? It seems to me that this format method would be better placed in UtilAccounting (potentially along side my new format methods for billing account, financial account, and the gift certificate
variant of a financial account).

Customers of the formatCreditCard appear to be the party and order
applications along with ecommerce.
