There are frameworks and there are frameworks

I just want to rant about the current framework I'm using. I'm not that experienced in Struts or Hibernate or any other framework so I really can't compare but the framework I'm currently using is so shitty it makes me want to just give up and die.
To add a new DOM element you have to revamp everything. It's not just attaching a new object, you have to rewrite all data validation rules that happen to affect that object. I wish I could just attach it to the DOM then specify some rules. What happens is I attach it then give some dos and don'ts for the data then I check what other stuff happen to be affected. Argh, I think this rant is going to be spread out in a lot more posts. I can't write coherently what I think is wrong and what should be done to correct it.

  1. Actually, the bulk of the problems is a matter of poor design of your module.

    Had we pushed through with the re-engineering back in Carmelray, you wouldn't have gone through all the bugs and headaches while we were in BOC.. Well, not all of them. =p

  2. The friggin' implementation of the API was modified in the middle of a monster project! Yarrr.
