RE: IBM pushing Java

[Colin Williams <Williamsc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

But my question is, in your Synon experience, did people spend the time
to look for the existing objects, or was the environment tightly
controlled and documented, because in my experience very few companies
exercise the control that they should, they just leave it to the
descretion of the programmer, which is always dangerous

                I guess this would be a problem with any application
that is not well 
                documented. OO prog is IMHO not going to solve that
problem. I have been a 
                Synon programmer for more than 4 years now. Synon uses a
lot of these OO 
                programmng techniques. Synon encourages users to create
reusable "Retrieve 
                Objects" , "Change Objects" etc., but then it is always
up to the 
                programmer to make that extra effort to search for an
existing "Object" 
                before creating a new one. My point is that, in a well
documented 
                application there should not be more than one bean that
does the same job.
