A good 'Structure' need not 'behave' properly!!

Not talking about cute and glossy girlz of Ethiraj or Stella Marys guyz... Very much the S/W Arch and we are in the next dining of Design Patterns. Hope we are almost neatly confused on Creational Pattern., if you aren't, plz go back and read my previous blog again and get yourself confused. Only a muddy water could become clear by settling 'down'...

So, traversing on with the next biggie of the Patternz.. Structural Pattern. Lets take an orthodox IT Motor Giant GM as a metaphor here. Long while ago, (in 1984) the IT Titan EDS (now HP Enterprise Services) was an entity or I should say an internal entity of GM. So an automation program for this kind, would treat this architecture as GM as an outer entity and EDS as an inner entity of GM viz, making EDS a subset of GM.

However, things changed after 12 years EDS got its own pair of wings leaving GM cribbing 'kilikku rekka mulachiduthu, parannnndhu poiduthu...'. And now, we are, at this stage, in a position to change the architecture of this. Now EDS, nomore an inner entity of GM. So, at a minimal impact, this complicated change needs to be implemented. At this place comes too handy our Structural Pattern!!

So Structural pattern is basically for to manage Structural change, when there is a change in the architecture than needs to be accomplished without major hiccups..!

Signing off now... Next blog would either be on my behavior on my lost and found purse or about the behavioral pattern... Depending on my sleepy time at office or home...
