He is, thankfully, working on understanding a Model-Glue app. So I
directed him to the ModelGlue.xml file which contains all the wiring
(controller) logic to understand what's happening. This draws an
important point for controller based frameworks and why most should use
them. For someone (other than the original developer) to quickly start
learning the logic of the application. That logic should always be in
the controller in some form.

I'd start with what happens when the application starts up and when an
individual request comes in. Maybe draw out some UML sequence diagrams
to visually show the order of events and compnents talking to each other.

I am trying to understand a pre-existing application so that I can

My question is: What's a good way to attack this problem?
Specifically I want to understand some parts of Mura so that I can
modify
and extend the functionality. Mura uses ModelGlue and Coldspring (And
Fusebox for the admin).
I've been digging around in the code and trying to understand their
content
rendering process. But, I thought someone on the list might have some
good
ideas of how to methodically analyze and understand all the objects
in an
application like this.
Thanks for any suggestions!
