Ok, since your plan is to rewrite a bunch of stuff anyway, and 'sole-source' postgres, I'd like to drop in my two cents on one of my pet peeves from SQL-ledger (as background I've been using SQL-ledger since V1.8.3 and have been generally happy) Currently there is 'logic' in both the front-end code, and the back-end code. I'd like to see both go away, and move all the logic into pgpsql embedded in the database, getting rid of the 'backend' completely. What this does, is basically puts all the transaction logic in one safe place. Now the system and the UI have no relation to one another. Down the road, one could create a Qt interface for a pretty GUI, or a use the existing web based UI, or any other interface (i.e. DBI/DBD) without fear of messing up data. --Just my two cents -Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
