I am sure if the switch is made, the VA will make it, too, because they collect from insurance companies. However, considering what happened with HIPAA, if folks aren't lining up begging for this, 2009 may be a rather soft target. In addition, with the VA budget cuts, somehow I don't think

[Hardhats-members] persistence layers for VistA integration (was Re: [Hardhats-members] Rewriting CPRS in Java)

2006-03-17 Thread Richard Schilling
The whole concept of rewriting CPRS in Java gives us the opportunity to look at the notion of a persistence layer versus a true object store. So far what we've seen are various implementations of persistence layers, such as ESI Objects and Cache. Good persistence layers are obviously key
