Where to put it depends on how people want to use it. For example, if you want to be able to build a site that has a mix or purchase and auction items then having it developed as separate apps would be rather inconvenient. On the other hand, if they were developed as a single application and items showed based on configuration then it would still be easy to have sites that do only purchase or auction items. -David > but when I read that "just the product using a different pricing type called > e.g. "AUCTION" or "BID", I was confused ..and didn't thought on it much as I > was busy with some other issues. > > But what I feel is it will be better if we can have another component for > auction, as the it can get quite complicated > > The reasons why I fee this is : > > 1) Recenlty there was a mail from someone regarding the entities created it > database, I mean if someone is not using Auction, than too there will be > entities related to Auction, I guess we can avoid this by having this as a > separate component, if not required the user can just not load the component > > 2) This will keep the Auction this separate, I guess this would avoid > unnecessary complexity in ecommerce > > 3) I don't know if the effort has started, but there was a discussion on > making the components independent & using maven script. > > Can't think of any more points :) > > As you will be developing the Auction thing, I guess, from scratch, it will > be better if we keep these things in mind. > > Above all are my thoughts, maybe I am missing something or have not paid > much attention to details. > > Let me know your thoughts ...
