What's the best approach for a single build of an app with global presence? I'm not asking for localisation, but subtle functional differences. Some examples are Address entity bean, which requires a state for some countries, but not for the others. Do I build separate Address bean for each region and deploy it based on execution mode? Or do I build a single bean that encapsulates the functionality of all regions and provide if-then logic based on deployment? Or is there a better, more Tapestrized solution?
Note, that Address entity bean is the simplest example that comes off the top of my hat. There will be plenty of others. In some corporate environments I've seen inheritance based code base deployments where a generic code base would be built, and each region would be a sort of a fork of generic codebase. Perhaps that?
