in thread "Rites of Passage" wheel reinventing
I'm curious - why would you consider a class wrapper to autogenerate accessors to always be a bad idea? I've got on working on my production site that I've been tinkering with for over 3 years and it's actually improved our development time and reduced complexity.
The example I can think of is that we have a number of reports which are similar in structure. They all take a set of parameters that are a subset of all parameters. Which parameters are report-dependent, but they all need to be handled similarly. So, the report class will say "I'm using these parameters" and the parameter class will add the appropriate attribute(s) to the report class.
Parameters are broken out because they also:
- Generate their HTML::Template datastructure
- Hold their default value
- Know how to retrieve values from CGI into the report object
- Know where their values come from
------
We are the carpenters and bricklayers of the Information Age.
Please remember that I'm crufty and crochety. All opinions are purely mine and all code is untested, unless otherwise specified.
