well that went down like a plumbium dirigible... a job I was on a while ago was a turnkey app that had 777 db tables (and prob more now) where they just couldn't compartmentalize the code. No chance of breaking off and selling discrete modules and if you didn't want all the features, you got the full schema anyway populated with some obscure table needing values in only 2 fields out of 40.
Being a turnkey app, there wasn't as much flexability as an inhouse app but in this current situation the legacy apps here have been rebuilt twice in 5 years because they just couldn't be expanded or integrated. I can see the same thing happening and I'll be damned to mortgage the future by taking the easy way out that becomes outdated by the time it's delivered. A third party governance app has been brought in and they can't integrate it, so it's up to double keying to keep the place going. talking to a few CF'ers, not many have done anything like this, which is surprising. I first started playing around with Microsoft Message Queue to pass communications between apps back in NT4/VB6 days. Since then webservices has sprung up. it's funny, in the RIA space, it's full of small disparate applications that do one job well. the next step is getting them to all talk to each other. oh well, fire and motion. thanx b --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CFCDev" group.
