Or move? >Or what? Gack. Just because there's no AP_App class doesn't mean you can't have an XP implementation to do the job: AP_ImpFactory AP_ExpFactory We use this pattern all the time in the current code, but I forget the details on the instantiation sequence needed. In some cases, the linker can find the current app's implementation from XAP code. In others (depending on which class data the Factory needs access to, IIRC), you might need to update each AP_<os>App to bootstrap the process. However, in either case, the app-specific factory details could easily be maintained in XP code. [1] Paul [1] If anyone knows of a reason why we'd want to vary the mix of impexps on a platform-by-platform basis, then more factoring would be needed here. However, discovery-based dynamic loading may just solve that problem for us.
