Hi,
I'm writing a data layer for an app my company is developing. I'm thinking
about wrapping up the basic data access object in two decorator objects: one
to provide error checking on parameters, and one to provide generic logging
of exceptions. Is that a good idea or not? It adds some indirection, but at
the same time the code becomes less cluttered. And the decor can even be
"peeled" off at a later time if considered superfluous.
Any thoughts?

Hi,
Good question, I believe the answer is "no, not really". It will provide
rudimentary checking only, for instance for null references. There is bound
to be some additional checking in the inner object as well, definitely.
Still, I think it will help a bit.
Regards,
Einar

Looks like a good idea overall. However, as for checking parameters for
errors, will the decorator always know which values are valid and which
are not?

Go on, I dare you. Make my day.

Hi.
I'm using a 3 tier FrontController Design for my web application right
now.
The problem is that I'm finding to have to duplicate a lot of code for
similar functions; for example, listing users, and listing assignments
use similar type commands. Is there a "better" way I can organize my
code?

Hi,
I am new to the MVP pattern and one of the main reasons that we are going
this route is because we are doing Scrum with 30 day sprints - so we have a
continually morphing design. We are using TDD as well to improve our ability
to refactor... you probably all know this approach.
Although the user iterface is supposedly one of the last things that you
need to do, this is a web app and we have multiple nested Repeaters on the
page....

I have a situation where one class can be customized with several
orthogonal options. Currently this is implemented with (multiple)
inheritance but this leads to combinatorial explosion of subclasses as
more orthogonal features are added. Naturally, the decorator pattern
comes to mind (not to be confused with the the Python meaning of
the term "decorator").
However, there is a twist. In the standard decorator pattern, the

if not, how to ensure correct deletion of the objects?

The context of this question is actually from the book "C# 3.0 Design
Patterns" (Bishop).
She makes the point that one of the reasons you'd use Decorator is if
you can't change the original component class. On p. 17, she explains
a code example: "...this code deviates from the pattern
laid out...there is no IComponent interface. This is perfectly
acceptable; the decorators can inherit directly from the component and
maintain an...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
