About the cons of the push model of the observer pattern

nicolas.guil...@gmail.com (nguillot) — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 13:19:27 UT

Hello.

On a project we implemented the observer pattern with the push model
approach: the interface of a observer provide several notifications
functions, emitted by a subject.

Generally we can read that the push model gives less reusable
observers, and the subject makes assomptions about observers that can

Hi,
The usual approach for documenting an existing system is to first list down
the original business goals and aims of the project when it was conceived,
the present business goals and aims, and a gap analysis chapter. These three
form the first 3 chapters.
Then you go down to documenting the multiple existing business applications

hello,

I've been given the task of creating a software document for the core
of the company's main system! after 10 years of development they still
don't have one, it's a small company.

Can anyone direct me to a good and safe method for writing the
document? and the different sections of the document.

developing software architectures.

2. and 3. You should have a look at the POSA series (http://
eu.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTit le/productCd-0471958697.html). There is
a lot of information written about architectural patterns.

Architectural Patterns

judge2...@gmail.com (judge) — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 03:15:55 UT

In a recent job as a consultant I came to several realizations (and I
realize that this may stir up some 'discussion'):

1. The is precious little material to guide an architect in providing
solutions to architectural problems. There is at least some material
that explains how an architect should approach a problem in terms of

Are you implementing DTO?

rctlo...@gmail.com (Rob) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 20:49:39 UT

Hi,

Are you implementing Fowler's DTO? If yes, are you 100% compliant to
the pattern or did you change/modify the pattern some how?

I am designing a new application framework and I am willing to
implement a DTO or another data object container pattern, but would
like to hear previous experiences from people who already implemented
