    Layered Applications and Business Entities

    Ok guys...let me clarify my understanding here: My app is layered and distributed as follows: UI/Consumer Layer (Physical Tier 1 - Web Server) -----------------------|.NET Remoting|------------------- Facade/Application Layer (Physical Tier 2 - App Server)...

    Valid use of Inheritance??

    Each one will need a seperate link on the dynamic page. I will need to check for the availability of several services for a single Policy (i.e.Renewal, Claim etc.). Certain services will always be available (i.e. ChangeOfAddress) therefore minimal business logic behind those. Thanks for all...

    Layered Applications and Business Entities

    Would this approach have to change dramatically in a distributed scenario? In my original design I envisaged the usage of DTO's to ensure that no layer other than the model/domain layer would have knowledge of the underlying business entities... Any useful documentation on these design...

    Layered Applications and Business Entities

    It is the passing of entities across architectural layer boundaries within a single application that I am referring to. I'm gonna have a look at the Book - Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture, to get some more ideas. Any other books anyone would recommend on this topic? Any...

I see what you're saying but am still left with the question of how to represent an object/business entity across layers. Would you suggest...

    Layered Applications and Business Entities

    Does anyone have any advice on how to seperate out Business Entity Data (i.e. common data that will be passed between layers in the application) from the Business Rules relating to the Business Entities? I am assuming this the correct way of structuring an application so you do not have to pass...

    Valid use of Inheritance??

    A CustomerServiceType is a service that is offered by the website relating to a core business entity (i.e. Policy or Client). Examples of these are a Renewal or Change of Address. My view of it is that a Policy or Client can have a CustomerServiceType performed on it. For example a Renewal can...

    Valid use of Inheritance??

    The exact scenario that I am working with is as follows: I am building up the content for dynamic web page. In order to do this I am looping through an array of Policy classes and displaying policy related information. One item of information I need to display for each Policy in the array is...

    Valid use of Inheritance??

    The resultant answer to the IsAvailable method will return a true/false value which will determine whether the option to fulfil the CustomerServiceType against the policy/client. For example, whether a button is enabled or not. There are other classes I have identified which relate to the...

    Valid use of Inheritance??

    Thanks for the advice. The CustomerServiceType class is VERY important within the system but I haven't so far been able to identify any other useful details about the respective CustomerServiceTypes other than the business rules behind whether they are available. I'll give a few more details...

    Valid use of Inheritance??

    I'm going round in circles trying to get my head around the usage of Inheritance within a system I am trying to design. I would REALLY appreciate any experienced advice on the following scenario: I have an abstract base class named CustomerServiceType which has a single method named...
