Application framework

Application framework

[James Centerstam]

Hi!
I have experience from a C++ framwork for building Macintosh
applications. I used a pattern called "publish and subscribe" by
inheriting (multiple inheritance) classes into my own class.
Is there an application framework (that can do "patterns")or anything
similar available for ada95?

Best regards James

I don't know for frameworks, but for the classical Pattern from the GOF
(and obviously the Observer pattern), there is a great source at
http://www.acm.org/archives/patterns.html
And, mainly thanks to Matthew Heaney, it's also a valuable way to learn
Ada.

I am not sure I understand your use of the term "application framework."
An application framework is a skeleton for a SPECIFIC type of applications
(for example: "HotDraw is a framework for building graphic editors")

There are various ways in Ada to build frameworks. In essence all the
traditional OO methods can be used in Ada, and you can sometimes take
advantage of other features of Ada.
See my work on this issue:

If on the other hand, you are looking for a framework that implements some
specific functionality, let us  know what are you looking for, so that we
can think of any suggestion useful to you.

Thanks for your help!
(I am interested in how to implement patterns in ADA95.)

For patterns - Matt's site is the place to look.
