Ryan, Kay, >> 1. As for the name, Repayment-Moratorium - Can we come up with a more >> descriptive name? I liked Repayment-Push out more
My feeling is that Moratorium is alright if that name makes sense in the domain of finance and micro finance.. i.e. what would a domain expert call this? what are the customers requesting the feature calling it? >>2. I've spoken with a MFI before that wanted to double up payments the > meeting BEFORE the holiday.

As Kay said, we would have to have a quick look at this but I don't see any reason at the moment why its not possible and with the restructure of the code it should be easier to go in and add this rule to the current strategy for generating dates. So if it becomes a priority we can focus in on it. >> 3.

As far as LSIM goes, the ideal solution is to not have schedules coupled to meeting at all. Then when is non 'teller model' mode, constraints can be enforced on 'schedule generation' to make it comply with 'loan officer/customer meeting schedule', in 'teller model' mode, then there is no need to apply these constraints,only those of the loan repayment schedule itself. This is probably a reasonable amount of work but having looked at meetingBO recently I could see there was method there used when 'LSIM' is configured to be on that generate the same 'dates' as the normal 'getAllDates' generation method.. see MeetingGetAllDatesVersusIndependentOfMeetingTest.java in trunk. Again, when as we approach the current schedule generation of the fly work and the current refactoring of 'schedule date generation' this LSIM is falls into consideration. Again with this: if it becomes a priority we can focus in on it. >> 4. Repayment-Same Day – Does this rule make sense to anyone else? Why >> would I even enter in this holiday? Ryan you right given the following senario: Meeting every.1.weeks with start date 2nd March 2011 (Wednesday) A holiday exists from 3rd March through to 14th of March (inclusive) The schedule generated by getAllDates (existing date generation method is:) Wed Mar 02 00:00:00 GMT 2011, Wed Mar 09 00:00:00 GMT 2011, Wed Mar 16 00:00:00 GMT 2011, Wed Mar 23 00:00:00 GMT 2011, Wed Mar 30 00:00:00 BST 2011 So why bother creating the holiday in the first place if you are going to use that rule.?
