I was kidding.. I am sorry if you all mislead by my comment.. Anyway, I was pointing at a possible site bug.. when you click on the "Monthly Competition" link it display a message about July prizes. But what has happened to the voting link of the month June competition..?? Where are the articles that are short listed for the month of June..?? G

Hi All, Are we going to have a monthly competition for the month of June. I am just curious as to why it does not show the list of articles for voting yet. When I click on the Monthly Competition link it show

Prizes on offer for July
No current competitions were found for the selected category.

So what happen to the month of June. I was thinking of winning the ASP.NET prize for June :rolleyes:, but suddenly I realized that the whole competition is gone off :~

DotNetNuke,, the learning curve is bit on the expensive side, Joomla seems right and is in my list underconsideration.. I need to check Drupal. Thanks Steve for taking time to reply. G.

Frankly I am not sure whether what I am looking for is called ORM system. But your reply hepls, thanks for the kind advices. G.

I am looking for a product (open source or not)/ code framework that I can use as the base and to quickly develop e-Commerce & Web-CMS (Content Management Sysmtem) type solutions. This product is expected to cut off the development time and also the cost and delivery small to medium web solutions to our customers (these customers are looking for fast, low cost solution). When you use an existing framework, yes there will be certain limitations. We are happy to deal with them as long as the product support all major feature of web CMS and generic e-commerce applications. I ran around the net during last few days and found couple of possible options, but thought to get some suggestions/ hints/ views from you all as well before concluding any.. G.

Accepted!! Thanks G.

Okay, I Accept it! thank for having this discussion thread. It is late here (11.00 PM) I am going to sleep now.. G.

I think you said that it is a objects collection.. inside the collection you will have objects, They used a famous example to explain composition.. house vs room, can the room exist without a house?? NO Can the object exist without a collection?? YES.. so your example is not composition. I mean there are many areas, where your example violate the original definition of the composition. But, I do agree that it is the closest example, I get so far. G.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I am sorry, if I did something wrong here.. but I know most people don't know the concepts they play with on day to day basis. Just thought to play on it.

:laugh: - creative one G.

you are missing a important one.. when a composition is destroyed, are the objects belonging to it be destroyed as well? If the answer is NO then it is AGGREGATION. G.

:confused::confused: G.

I am referring to the definitions, composition is a special type of a aggregation, so I am not telling that composition is not aggregation. But what I said was that the example you gave does not have that specialty to recognize as it is composition. G.

Don't shoot off target.. If the communication is the problem I will try my best to correct it. However the OP question is a simple one.. show me a example where you really used composition in any of your system. Isn't that not clear? G.

Come up with valid facts.. I like to hear you. :~ Anyway, I like, if you can stick with the OP, rather than shooting off target to cover your not knowingness. :( You don't have an answer do you?? G.

You can bring up definition, but as a software developer and a one who visit code-project regularly, show me a real place where you have ever used this.. I can bring you thousand of cut and paste definitions as well as physical world's examples.. but the question is something else..

I don't see what the big deal is.

Then you stay out of this.. This is a challenge if you are ready to accept it accept, if not you can go away.. I am sorry if it is rude :rolleyes:

yes, that is also a good one.. when objects are not existing you will not have the collection defined. But when you have one to many relation in between the collection and object it again comes under aggregation.. so it is also not composition.. Additional object can exist without a collection.. I think you are also wrong ... :( G.

It does.. That is why you have three different relations named association, aggregation and composition.. You can cover all by aggregation and composition can cover with aggregation but when you defined a composition, it is special and cannot be covered by any of the other two. Your or the one you pointed comes under aggregation not composition.. so you cannot argue any longer with your example.. :(

That is rather a good one than the one at wiki.. but the practicality of the class red is questionable.. I think there are better ones.. G.

Is this your answer.. don't shoot off target... the question is a simple one.. your answer and the one who gave a 5 for your reply, both can be considered given poor answers :) G.

So the Carburetor and Car is a software world example??.. I don't think so.. But, again can the Carburetor exist without the car? I think Yes, so then why you say it is Composition it is Aggregation, doesn't it????? I think that WIKI example is a poor one and your answer is also a poor one.. :) G.
