Hi, I'm about to enter the 1st phases of designing a commodities trading application. A major function of this application is the capture and evaluation of pricing information. Pricing in this market is not fixed. It is usually a market benchmark +/- a premium. For example: (A and B are market benchmarks) Price = A + $1 Price = A + .5...

Using Sprint.NET, I'm combining remote XML files into a single application context where the engine objects are separate from the business rule objects. The probl...
A coworker of mine mentioned that one use of XSLT is processing business rules. He mentioned that there were systems that allowed users to write business rules in some kind of text format, and then the program uses XSLT to process the text and apply the rules at run-time in the application. Can someone shed some light on this subject fo...
I think most template engines are hard to use for designers and front end developers leaving you, the programmer with the burden of maintaining them. And frequently updating the templates after the designer updates the html mockup is a nightmare because your templates are no longer compatible with the original htmls. I had this problem...
Do you keep separate (and complete) documentation of the business logic implemented in the code? I often get support cases where I dig into the code to find what's going on, and deep down discover some obscure case statement or an increment of a date by + 1, for example. Then I try to figure out what's going on, explain it to the users,...

I've read some of the questions regarding anemic domain models and separation of concerns. What are the best techniques for performing/attaching domain logic on anemic domain objects? At my job, we have a pretty anemic model, and we're currently using "helper" classes to perform the database/business logic on the domain objects. For e...
