RE: URGENT: Please Help ...... DeltaV and WebDAV Relationship

Vikram,
 
In protocol design, generally we attempt to avoid specific OOP or OOAD
models.  It's up to the server implementor to decide how to implement a
protocol, and they may not even be using an object-oriented programming
language.
 
Good luck resolving your conflicts!

Subject: URGENT: Please Help ...... DeltaV and WebDAV Relationship



Hi ,

       We are implementing a server for DeltaV , there are conflicts
among couple of groups here about the design of the Server. 

One Group believes that since DeltaV is a versioning extension of WebDAV
the relationship in terms of OOAD is "is Kind Of" (Inheritance) , hence
the Implementation of DeltaV should extend from already implemented
WebDAV server.

While the other group believes that the DeltaV is a "Component" (not to
be taken literally) of WebDAV  i.e WebDAV can be made "versionable"
using DeltaV or by simply "activating" DeltaV Implementation Code ....
and hence DeltaV should be treated seperately.

I would like to know the relationship between DeltaV and WebDAV in terms
of OOP/OOAD.

I would be highly grateful , if anyone could get back to me with his/her
views as soon as possible.

Best Regards,         

Vikram
