RE: [CFCDev] Intelligence of Functions

[Barry Beattie]

Michael, one thing bothers me a bit is seeing this in isolation as just a server-side issue   this is a web app, yes? if so there are a whole lot of other layers involved in here.   we’ve deliberately use Eiffel-like contracts for such functions, but since validation is also done in JS, if the contract is broken and a server-side error is thrown that means that 1) they’ve got JS turned off (and in our case nothing will work – go away) or 2) they’re deliberately trying to hack in   so for us, a broken contract is a (minor) security breach and is handled accordingly.   just my 2c worth   Barry Beattie CF Web Developer Alpha Business Systems [EMAIL PROTECTED]   Ph: +61 07 3216 0999   Unit 1, 31 Thompson Street Bowen Hills QLD 4006 www.alphabus.com.au   Virus Disclaimer: Please note that this email may contain computer-generated file(s) as an attachment.  Whereas we take every effort to protect our files from computer virus, we recommend that you check the file(s) with your own virus detection software prior to opening it.  If you would prefer to receive a hardcopy of the file please email or phone.
