ARROW Season 4 Finale Recap: Did Team Arrow Save the World in 'Schism'?
Posted by Sydney Bucksbaum on May 25, 2016
[Warning: this recap contains major spoilers from Arrow's season four finale, "Schism." This is a recap, after all. You've been warned!]
Arrow may have saved Star City (and the world) from nuclear annihilation in the season four finale, but Team Arrow may be irreparably damaged from the events that occurred in "Schism." I can't remember a time when the team was so fractured like this. Is there even going to be a Team Arrow when season five returns?
Wait, we're totally getting ahead of ourselves. So much went down in the season four finale that we should back up and start at the beginning. "Schism" picked up right where last week's penultimate hour left off, with Damien Dahrk breaking into Felicity's loft to kidnap her and make her hack Rubicon for him. Dahrk almost killed Felicity's mom and took Felicity until Thea intervened and threatened Dahrk's daughter. She literally had a knife to the young girl's throat. Whoa. Thea's not holding back, y'all. But hey, it worked! Dahrk let everyone live in exchange for his daughter's life (although Curtis was seriously injured in the resulting fight), but he stole the Rubicon equipment from the loft, giving him access to all the world's nukes. And that was all he needed to launch 15,434 ballistic missiles, with less than two hours until impact worldwide. The nuclear apocalypse was officially here, and no one had any idea on how to stop it. Yay?
In the chaos after their initial fight with Dahrk in their loft, Felicity found time to ask Oliver why he couldn't stop Dahrk's magic, when he used to be able to counteract that magic with hope from Felicity (the light to fight the darkness). Oliver knew why right away: now that Dahrk was so magically charged from his first nuclear blast, Felicity's hope wasn't enough for Oliver to fight it. So Felicity freaked out, and told Quentin Lance to take her mother to the closest location within 100 miles that would be safe from the nuclear blasts. The ish was getting real, people.
Nukes and magic be damned, Lyla tried to send an ARGUS strike team to take out Dahrk in his nexus chamber below City Hall, but they were all immediately massacred while Team Arrow could only listen in horror over their comms, knowing all those deaths just gave Dahrk even more power. And to make matters even worse, just when Felicity broke through her ex Cooper's firewalls to get back control of Rubicon, Dahrk's ghosts attacked Team Arrow in their lair. Another finale, another lair destroyed. Sigh. There were so many close calls in the fight, like when Diggle hesitated to kill a ghost because he looked like Andy and Lyla had to save him, or when Thea almost got taken out by a ghost and Malcolm of all people showed up in the nick of time to save her. Even Felicity got into the fight, landing a punch of her own!
After the team (plus Malcolm) defeated the ghosts, Curtis gave a pep talk to everyone (since the team was seriously lacking in optimism or hope). That inspired Oliver to go out to the streets of Star City in plain clothes to pass that pep talk on to the citizens who were freaking out and rioting over the impending nuclear blast. While he gave hope to the city, Felicity realized that—though she couldn't hack the Rubicon system directly—she could hack into the GPS of the nuke heading straight for Star City. Once it got close enough, she was able to reroute it and the nuke flew away harmlessly. One down, 15, 433 to go. Yikes.
But finally, a lucky break! Felicity and Curtis tracked Cooper's signal, and Oliver tasked Malcolm and Thea with backing them up to take him down in person. Meanwhile, Oliver decided it was time once and for all to take out Damien Dahrk, and set out for City Hall with Diggle and Lyla as his backup. While they were suiting up, Diggle finally confessed to Lyla about how he killed Andy in cold blood and not self-defense, but she fully supported him because she knew he did what he had to do. She was a soldier, and she understood. Despite his wife's unconditional support, Diggle still couldn't forgive himself for that.
But the time for emotional conversations was over, since it was time to save the world. Oliver arrived at the nexus chamber, and Dahrk just laughed, and decided to teach him a lesson before killing him. He threw Oliver around like a rag doll, and things looked dire until the citizens of Star City took to the streets in Green Arrow's defense. That's when the tables started to turn! With Diggle and Lyla helping him, along with Quentin who had returned to help Star City after making sure Donna was safe somewhere else, Oliver was able to go mano-a-mano with Dahrk. Lyla and Diggle took on the ghosts, while Quentin was tasked with keeping the citizens safe from the chaos. It was sheer madness, and everyone got their fair share of the action.
Finally, Oliver got the upper hand in his fight against Dahrk. He landed punch after punch, and although Dahrk didn't think Oliver could actually kill him since he didn't even kill the man who murdered his own mother (oh hey, Slade Wilson shout out!), Oliver proved him wrong. He told Dahrk in a calm manner that since Dahrk killed a friend of his, along with tens of thousands of innocent people, Oliver didn't have a choice anymore. He stabbed an arrow deep into Dahrk's gut, just like the way Darhk killed Laurel. Poetic justice. And on the nuclear missiles front, Felicity was able to do what she did to the Star City bomb and hacked into all the other missiles and sent them flying harmlessly into space, where they exploded, killing zero people. Victory! Team Arrow should totally celebrate and be happy, right?
Wrong. Instead of taking the win, Team Arrow completely fell apart, as each individual member quit for personal reasons. After Quentin found out his suspension from the SCPD was no longer temporary, he decided to pack up and leave town for good with Donna, finding a safer place to call home with better, happier memories. He thanked Oliver for helping him get closure for Laurel's death, and drove off into the sunset with Donna. Then Thea announced that she was also going to get out of this vigilante, dark lifestyle, after she realized that threatening a little girl's life wasn't who she was. She hung up her Speedy costume and went home to work on herself. So it was back to the original three of Team Arrow, right?
Once again, wrong. While Felicity was excited about getting back to the OG team, Diggle wasn't ready for it. He needed some time to get over what he did to Andy, and that meant leaving Star City, his wife, and his daughter. He was last seen in his formal army suit, packing a bag and saying goodbye to a crying Lyla. Is he shipping out?
So what does this mean for Team Arrow? The final shot of the season four finale was Felicity and Oliver standing together, looking at the retired costumes hanging on the wall of the destroyed Team Arrow lair. Laurel's dead, Diggle's gone, and Thea quit. As for the Green Arrow? Oliver's going to have too much on his plate as the new Star City Mayor to suit up at night. That's right: after campaigning and losing, he was voted interim Mayor until a formal election could be held as a formality. Oliver didn't think he defeated the darkness in himself, but Felicity helped him realize there was a schism, a war within himself of the light and the dark, and he needed to constantly fight for the light. He's going to have to work on that, while rebuilding his home and his relationships. Season five is going to look a hell of a lot different, folks.
And in the island flashbacks (hopefully the last ones we'll ever see!), Baron Reiter revealed that without the runes on his arm that he got from the island caves, his mind would go mad from the power from the idol. And he was right, because Taiana immediately started to be affected by the power, almost killing Oliver. When she realized how much it was taking control of her, she told him to kill her so she wouldn't hurt anyone else. He didn't want to, but once she started crying and pleading with him, he snapped her neck. He helped the remaining prisoners escape the island by finally using the radio Amanda Waller gave him and called for emergency evacuations by ARGUS. Waller herself even came to the island to commend Oliver on completing his mission, and to help him realize that sometimes killing is the only path to justice. She wanted to recruit him for more missions, but he remembered he had a promise to keep. He picked up his father's journal and his bow and arrow, and the flashbacks finally came back full circle to the series premiere.
Do you think we're finally done with the island flashback storyline (please say yes)? What do you think is going to happen in season five now that Team Arrow is seemingly destroyed? Tweet me your thoughts at @SydneyBucksbaum!

India surpasses 150,000 virus cases
27th May 2020 World
India's coronavirus caseload has surpassed 150,000, with another single-day high of more than 6,000 reported on Wednesday.
The spike comes as Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government prepares a new set of guidelines, with the fourth phase of the two-month-old lockdown across the country set to end on Sunday.
The Health Ministry reported 151,767 cases on Wednesday, a jump of 6,387, with 4,337 deaths — an increase of 170 in the past 24 hours. It said 64,426 people have recovered from the virus.
Most of the cases are concentrated in five of India's 28 states. An increase has also been reported in some of the country's poorest eastern states as migrant workers returning to native villages from large cities have begun arriving home on special trains.
India eased lockdown restrictions earlier this month, allowing shops to reopen and manufacturing to resume. Some trains and domestic flights began operating again.
Metro services, schools and colleges, and hotels and restaurants are shuttered nationwide.
Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak announced Tuesday night that he will allow casinos to reopen June 4, welcoming tourists to return to the glitzy gambling mecca of Las Vegas.
The Democratic governor told reporters that Nevada will welcome visitors from across the country to come to Las Vegas and have a good time. Sisolak closed the casinos 10 weeks ago as part of a broad shutdown to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
The casinos typically draw millions of tourists to Las Vegas and power the state's economy. The governor said he would also allow in-person religious services of up to 50 people starting Friday.
South Korea has reported 40 new coronavirus cases for its biggest daily jump in nearly 50 days, causing alarm in a country where millions of children are returning to school.
Figures from the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Wednesday brought national totals to 11,265 cases and 269 deaths.
All but four of the new cases came from the densely populated Seoul metropolitan area, where officials have been scrambling to stem transmissions linked to nightclubs, karaoke rooms and an e-commerce warehouse.
Three cases were linked to international arrivals.
A steady rise in cases in the greater capital area over the past few weeks has raised concern as officials proceed with a phased reopening of schools, which began with high school seniors last week. More than 2 million high school juniors, middle school seniors, first and second graders and kindergarten students were expected to return to school on Wednesday.
Mexico's health department has reported 501 more deaths from the coronavirus — the first time the country's one-day figure has exceeded 500.
The number of new cases reported Tuesday also set a daily high, with 3,455 additional infections confirmed. Mexico has recorded nearly 74,560 confirmed cases and 8,134 deaths, though officials acknowledge the number of cases is probably several times higher due to the country's extremely low testing rate.
Mexico's daily death toll is now approaching that of the United States, at around 620. Brazil leads in daily deaths with over 800.
China reported one imported case of coronavirus Wednesday and no new deaths as legislators meeting for the ceremonial parliament's annual session pushed for improvements in the public health system.
The national Health Commission said in its daily report that 79 people remain in treatment, while another 410 are under isolation and monitoring for possibly having the virus or after testing positive without showing any symptoms. China has reported 4,634 COVID-19 deaths among 82,993 cases.
Public health has been discussed more than usual at the National People's Congress session, which was delayed more than two months and cut from two weeks to one because of the virus outbreak that began in the central city of Wuhan late last year.
President Donald Trump had a message to offer those who crowded pools and boardwalks over the Memorial Day weekend, defying coronavirus social distancing guidelines: "Always be safe."
Trump did not criticize the images that flooded cable television airwaves during a Rose Garden event, saying only: "We're opening up, but you want to be safe."
Cases are still rising in some states.
Trump also maintained Tuesday, without explanation, that he "can absolutely" force governors to allow churches and other houses of worship across the country to reopen, saying he "will override any governor that wants to play games."
But he also said that pastors, rabbis and imams "don't want anyone getting hurt or sick." And he conceded that "there may be some areas" where religious leaders may "feel that it's not quite ready."
He said that's something he's OK with, as long as it's "the choice of the congregation and the pastor."

Julidochromis regani, er en ciclide som lever i Tanganyikasøen, verdens længste ferskvandssø, der deles af Burundi, Den Demokratiske Republik Congo, Tanzania og Zambia. Her er dens forekomst endemisk, dvs. den lever ikke vildt andre steder steder i verden, men den er ikke listet som truet. Fisken er opkaldt efter den britiske iktyolog Charles Tate Regan.

Beskrivelse
Julidochromis regani er en mellemstor fisk (10-15 cm). Dens blege til gyldne krop er slank og torpedoformet med fire slanke sideværts sorte striber, der løber ned langs kroppen. Afhængigt af hvor i søen fisken lever, findes der variationer indenfor arten, hvor den fjerde stribe udelukkende ses på hovedet. På de bagerste finner inklusive halefinnen er de sorte striber lodrette. Yderkanten af de bageste finner er hvid, mens brystfinnerne er gule. Der er ikke umiddelbare kønsforskelle mellem hanner og hunner, men hunnerne tenderer til at være større end hannerne.

Økologi
Julidochromis regani findes i overgangszonen hvor klippekysten møder sandbunden og er den eneste Julidochromis art, der kan ses over ren sandbund. Den lever bl.a. af små snegle og krebsdyr. Julidochromis regani ses som alle Julidochromis arter altid svømmende tæt ind mod underlaget og følger konturerne på klipper og sten. Unge individer ses ofte alene, mens voksne som regel ses parvis.

Adfærd
Julidochromis regani har en adfærd, der på mange måder er unik. Det er en social fisk, hvor kønsrollerne er byttet om, forstået således, at hunnerne typisk er større og mere aggressive end hannerne, og der forekommer polyandri (hunnerne har flere hanner) og "alloparenting", hvor andre end ophavet hjælper til med med at tage sig af afkommet (dette kan være hanner i det polyandriske forhold).

Akvariehold
I akvariet holdes Julidochromis regani parvis for at minimere aggressiv adfærd mod andre artsfæller (specielt mellem hunner). Et voksent par kræver minimum et akvarium på 100 liter, men gerne større. Dekorationen bygges op med store sten og bunden skal bestå af fint sand. Holdes forskellige Julidochromis arter i samme akvarium vil de krydse indbyrdes. Julidochromis regani er en huleleger, der ofte graver en lille grube under en sten, hvor æggene lægges. Hunnen tager sig af æggene og ungerne, mens hannen forsvarer det ydre revir. Kuldstørrelsen er forholdvis stor og det er ikke unormalt med over 150 unger. Ungerne tolereres omkring hulen længe og jages først bort når de bliver kønsmodne. Temperatur: 24 – 27 °C; pH: 7.5 – 9.3.

Despite all the potential good coming out of crypto, there are, undoubtedly, a number of risks that exist within the industry. Besides the various hacks that have taken place in the last few months, crypto users also have to be on the lookout for Cryptojacking. Cryptojacking has been featured more in the news over the last year, such as the story about the millions that have been made from it.
Needless to say, Cryptojacking is a big business and a very real threat to computer owners. Fortunately, some new steps are being taken against them. It was announced on April 9 that Mozilla Firefox, the popular web browser, is installing some protections against cryptojacking in new versions of their browser.
The versions of Mozilla Firefox that will feature these protective measures are the Nightly 68 and Beta 67 versions. The protections being put in place are against crypto mining and fingerprinting hack attacks and are found in their content blocking suite of protections.
These new protections were developed by Mozilla Firefox in collaboration with Disconnect, a software security firm, and also is equipped with a list of blacklisted domains that have previously been associated with malware and fingerprint attacks.
For now, the protections are not running by default but have to be set up manually in the privacy and security settings' section. However, Mozilla Firefox has said that they will be enabled automatically in the upcoming nightly versions.
Cryptojacking refers to the act of illegally using another person's computer system to mine cryptocurrency for yourself. It has been going on for years but only recently has the extent of the problem been understood.
Various cryptojacking programs disguise themselves as legitimate software and some even carry out the work they advertise, only mining when the computer system is not in use or quietly in the background.
In some cases, these programs have run for months without detection, with the users only noticing a slowdown in their computer's processing speed or constant overheating. Thankfully, since these activities have been better reported on, more steps are being taken such as these to prevent them.
Hopefully, more browsers come with these protective measures installed and cryptojacking becomes a thing of the past.

Trae Young's 24 points ends Hawks' 10-game losing streak with win over Warriors
Associated PressDec 2, 2019, 10:56 PM EST
ATLANTA (AP) — Trae Young scored 24 points, rookie De'Andre Hunter added 18 and the Atlanta Hawks snapped a 10-game losing streak with a 104-79 win over the Golden State Warriors on Monday night in a matchup of teams with the worst records in the NBA.
The Warriors (4-18) finished with a season-low in points. It was the lowest point total allowed by the Hawks (5-16).
Golden State dressed just nine players, even with center Kevon Looney returning to action after missing 19 games with a nerve condition.
Rookie Eric Paschall led Golden State with 24 points, but his teammates combined to shoot 24 of 72, and the Warriors were slowed by 25 turnovers, which the Hawks converted into 25 points. The Warriors were missing Draymond Green, DeAngelo Russell and Stephen Curry, among others.
The Hawks expanded a nine-point halftime lead to 76-53 in the third quarter when Vince Carter hit a 3-pointer with 1:09 left in the period.
Golden State carried the action over most of the first quarter. But Hunter rallied the Hawks, scoring six consecutive points early in the second quarter, giving Atlanta the lead for good on a pair of jumpers and a couple free throws.
Hunter scored 13 of his 18 points in the first half. He left the game midway through the fourth quarter with what appeared to be a wrist injury.
Knicks reportedly offered multiple first-round picks for OG Anunoby, got nowhere
What are the Toronto Raptors going to do at the trade deadline?
It's less than two weeks before the trade deadline and the entire NBA is still asking that question, the Raptors are the one team that could turn this trade deadline from a dud to epic if they decide to pivot toward a rebuild. Are they willing to trade players like OG Anunoby or Pascal Siakam, or will they look to add a more traditional big man such as the Spurs' Jakob Poeltl, who has been linked to the Raptors in rumors? Everything seems to be on the table.
Anunoby is a player a lot of teams covet, including New York. The Knicks reached out to the Raptors, reports Ian Begley of SNY.TV.
"And Anunoby with Toronto, I mean, that would cost you a lot. That would cost you significant draft compensation. Maybe the Knicks are there, maybe they're feeling like they could make the playoffs and make a big push if you added in Anunoby. I know that we reported they contacted Toronto on Anunoby and I was told in that conversation they offered multiple firsts. But this was a while back… Toronto has done a lot since then. But I don't think the league is crystal clear on what [the Raptors] want to do on Anunoby."
Anunoby is an elite on-ball wing defender who can be a finisher, averaging 17.3 points and 5.6 rebounds a game at age 25 — the asking price will start at two unprotected first-round picks in this market. The Knicks may have thrown some of their protected picks in the conversation, but Toronto's asking price is reportedly sky-high because they're not eager to get rid of him.
Anunoby is making $17.4 million this season and is under contract for $18.2 million next season, a fair price for what he brings to the court (he has a player option at $19.9 million in 2024-25). What the Raptors do with him may signal their direction.
At the deadline, most people around the league expect Toronto to trade Gary Trent Jr., but that's it. Any other big moves are likely this offseason. If ever.

I need some advices what would be a good way to manage different, customized versions of the same application plattform which are in large parts identical but have to be adapted to different customer's needs. The application I'm talking about is a Java web application and the problematic parts are mostly XML templates for the (self-made) view technology and XML files for message (similar to Java's bundle files). The codebase is basically the same for all customers.
Additionally it's not only possible to have customized versions of this application but the customized versions also reuse templates and message files from the base application which can each be overridden in the custom application as needed. In general this sounds like a good idea but it isn't. The problem is that the templates also support includes, too much code logic and often it's unclear if specific changes have to be made in the base application (for maximum reuse between customers) or if they should be made in the customer version itself to override the base application templates. Over time this whole thing has become more and more confusing because many people made changes and so there's a lot duplication because often you can hardly tell if some template parts or messages might already be implemented somewhere else.
I hope it's more or less understandable for you what's the problem. Does anyone have experience or good ideas how to manage such concurrent versions of a similiar base application which allows for maximum reuse with minimum duplication and is still easily understandable (as it would be nice if someone with less experience could make smaller changes to templates etc.)?
Are your people under a lot of time pressure? This often happens when people feel that they are rewarded for doing things the quick and dirty way - which, in the long run, of course leads to maintenance hell.
Does that sound like it's on the right track?
it doesn't only sound like it's on the right track, it IS exactly on the right track!
I think it's the well-known result of a fast-growing development team and application without enough time or care to adapt the processes fast enough as well. Unfortunately the template and message management system is all self-made and the code suffers from the same problems. So I'm not even sure if this can be fixed in the existing application with reasonable effort. I'm more or less doing some research for future developments to prevent such problems.
Anyway, as you might have guessed the maintenance hell is already a fact and so I'd be glad to hear some suggestions for a technical solution which helps to actively force better habits when editing templates etc. It turns out that the current solution is doing to many hidden things behind the scenes because the merge and override process for template and message files happens when the application is packaged or even at runtime. So the end result is very confusing and unpredictable for someone without a deeper understanding of what the code or build system does internally. And of course it would be nice to let other people like web designers or translators edit these files without having to know all the details.
I'd already thought of something like the patch system in UNIX so that it is at least possible to produce the merged end results for templates and messages at development time by "patching" the base application. I think this solution would still be far from ideal but at the moment I can't see any really good solutions to this mess. On the other hand I'm pretty sure that a lot of companies will have the same problems when an application has to be customized AND maintained in some way for different customers without unnecessary duplication of data and maintenance work.
I'm sorry, I don't know of a good solution for your design problem. But it sounds as if you already have an idea - and I'm sure that if you encourage your colleagues to tackle the problem, you together will come up with even better ideas.
In my experience, it's almost possible to fix an existing legacy system, and almost always also less risky and more viable. And that's because it can be done in small, iterative steps.
Hopefully we can come up with a better idea. But as I said I'm doing just some research up front, so chances are good we will find a solution.
Unfortunately I don't have very much experience with legacy systems, so it's hard to tell if it would be successful enough. I'll do my best and take care that everyone including me is well prepared to give it at least a try and fix as much problems as possible.
This is really hard to convince management to invest some time and resources to improve an application that is obviously working - at least on the surface ;-) Luckily I was able to give some insight in the problems that already are and will come in the near future, so we have some resources and can officially work on improvements.
I highly recommend the books "Refactoring" and "Working Effectively With Legacy Code"
Of course "Refactoring" is a must have for every developer ;-) I recently started to read Michael's excellent book, too, which has indeed lots of valuable advices for refactoring legacy applications. I'm not yet finished with it but I'm sure there are many things we can use in practice to improve the quality of our application.
Thanks a lot for your thought's about these problems!
Have you tried to use Subversion branching feature?
In fact we're using Subversion for configuration management and the said application not only exists and is maintained for different customers but also in different versions but all customized versions of the same release version are located in the same branch.
Would you recommend to branch off each customized application, too? I think so... It sounds like an interesting point but I haven't yet tried extensively enough if it would work well for the XML templates and message files as explained above. I guess an important point for success would be a really good diff tool which allows easy merging of XML files. Or would you recommend a completely different approach?
Actually, Subversion branching feature was especially designed to satisfy your requirement.
You can have trunk which is main development line, if you have customize versions that are slightly different you can create branches, after than when trunk has changed you can merge changes from trunk to branches.
About XML, message files, I don't think there will be a problem because they are text files. Merging is not easy anyway, but you should try it first, for me built-in merging function of TortoiseSVN is good enough.
Of course you're right and as I said we're already using Subversion for release managment and development branches of our codebase, too. It's just the XML templates which are duplicated "by hand".
Thanks a lot for this advice!
I would never, ever use version control for the management of customized versions.
Merging is already laborsome enough if you just use it for versioning, where the number of active branches is small, life-time of branches relatively short and the direction of merging definite. Merging between (potentially dozens of) long-lived versions that don't have a definite hierarchy sounds like a maintenance nightmare to me.
Now that you say it, this is exactly the impression I have at the moment!
It's already hard enough to keep different long-lived release branches which share a common base. That was the reason I had never thought about the idea to put the customized versions under source control, too. And I'm pretty sure it won't work without a clearly defined way where and how to put in which changes.
Whatever solution, it's not necessary that it must be easy for maintenance. Something, even in its simplest form is still not simple. That applies to everything not just managing customize versions .
I know that it's usually hard or impossible to find a solution for a problem which is much simpler than the problem itself. As it's hard to find a good solution for our problem, I guess the problem is more complex than it seems at first and so the solution won't be too trivial.
Well, I mean if we have difficulty at 100% and we can reduce it to 80% (maybe it's the easiest solution), it's still not easy but it's better, isn't it?
If anybody has solution that is easier than Subversion branching, please suggest, I want to learn too.
Of course 80% is better than 100% of all problems. But you will surely agree that if any solution will mean quite some effort, we'd prefer to invest some more work and time to find a solution which is hopefully <50% But seriously, I believe that even with near 50% this whole thing would still be a big mess. So it's questionable if it's worth all the effort, if we can't come up with a solution that works really well and solves most of the problems.
Anyway, I'd still love to hear some other suggestions, too! Are our requirements really that unusual? I can hardly believe this... I guess there should be many companies which provide a customized version of an application for different customers.
thanks for your advices. This sounds like a reasonable mix to me. In particular your approach with Groovy scripts as plugins is very interesting. I read about it some time ago and would like to give a try if as soon as I see any opportunity. Would you recommend this way of externalizing an interface for plugins after having some experience with it?
After thinking about our problem some more, I decided that the real problem comes down to the question how a concept like inheritance in OOP can be implemented for XML files in a clean and maintainable way. After all the said XML files are the only troublemakers which are too hard to handle. I'm going to ask for help regarding this idea in the XML forum.
... I guess there should be many companies which provide a customized version of an application for different customers.
Good guess. Customization is typically driven by configuration data stored in a relational database. This is the best route...as always, data is best stored and accessed via relational database management systems (RDBMS).
Keep in mind that these system required clean, performant, and well-written code which has been adequately tested for both technical and quality-of-service requirements. And there usually is a significant portion of system code which executes inside the RDBMS (not a Java JRE).
I read this topic again, it seems that Marco has already used different XML templates for different versions.
I don't know how the application selects XML files, but I think the problem is not configuration but it's unclear design/implementation.
Do I still misunderstand your problem? But if I understand correctly, could you please to post a code example and explain what/where the problem is?
@Kengkaj: After taking some more time again to think about my problem, I came to the same conclusion regarding bad design. Unfortunately it's hard to construct a very short example to show the problem but I'll try to explain you my newer insights. First, the XML message files are not that big deal, so we don't need to discuss about that any longer.
1) The templates exist in the base application and have to be customized depending on the requirements of a customer. At the moment this is mainly done by duplicating the base version and copy it into the customized application because each XML file in the customer application can only override entire file of the base application and ugly duplication by copying a file is the fastest (but less maintainable) way to this.
2) There's no 1:1 mapping between XML templates and web pages. The XML templates are rendered by a self-made template engine which allows, in my opinion, way too much code-like elements. For that reason one template often contains the content of many web pages which are rendered based on some conditional logic in the templates themselves.
3) Additionally the templates may include other template fragments. Even this is often done based on some conditional logic. To make the problem worse every customized application has full access to all templates of the base application, so you often can hardly figure out from where some other fragments are included.
4) Another main problem is, that the templates contain too much code, i.e. not only the basic template engine features like loops for iterations or conditional decision logic. No, these templates may contain real method calls which are pulled out and executed via reflection at runtime.
5) Nearly all of the things above happen at runtime. You simply can't see or test the full templates without the running web application. This is very undesireable and you can imagine that this is nothing you can expect non-technical people to edit and maintain.
6) One last big problem is, that you're not done with the templates. There is a mix of structural and design element all over the place. To produce the final output you can see on a web page there's quite a bunch of things the template engine has to do and additionally there's one more step in this process which involves a XSL transformation. Not to speak of CSS files to tweak the design details depending on the customer.
That said I came to the conclusion that our problem is partly technical (the code and reflection things), but a lot of the problems come from misusing the template engine and missing clear definitions where to put specific content. I guess it doesn't make much sense to spend more of your time thinking about this. There's a lot we have to do ourselves to clean up the mess.
Anyway, this discussion has helped me a lot to identify the real problems ;-) Thanks again for taking the time!

do I understand correctly that those templates that are customized in fact also contain application logic that should *not* be changed, and probably even need to be changed in every single template whenthe application itself changes?
With other words, it sounds like you possibly don't really have a physical separation of things that are supposed to be customized, and things that aren't?
you got it exactly! Can you understand why I said, we already have arrived at the maintenance hell central station?
I'm relatively new in this project/company, so I can't really tell you why or how the problem could grow to such a big mess. But I was able to convince my colleagues and management that something has to be done soon. As you can imagine the templates are not the only problem.
Sounds like you are starting the journey of a change agent. Good first steps.
You might be interested in the book "Fearless Change" - it has lots of advice on how to lead change, even if you are not in charge.
I hope this journey doesn't end short, but at least at the moment everyone seems to be motivated to turn for the better.
The book is already ordered right this moment It sounds very interesting although I can hardly believe that patterns can be applied easily to a topic like change management. Obviously the reviews of the book tell that they can!
Because attempting to do otherwise typically creates a variety of maintenance and versioning nightmares.
The text of the XML-based view templates and the meta-data about "how/when/where/who" about these templates are not the same. The problem you have been describing is a data management problem, not necessarily an "XML" problem. A commericial grade RDBMS has the tools readily available for you to create a more efficient way to manage the templates.
I think now I can see how a RDBMS would fit in this problem. I'm just not sure how to realize a solution. If I understand your last post correctly, you'd propose to shift the problem which part of templates belong to which customer and are included under which circumstances etc. to the database. Did I get this right? This seems like a plausible technical solution.
As you may have read in this thread, at first I have to solve the non-technical issues before thinking about a better implementation. That means convincing everybody to improve the system and doing some clean up on the existing mess. But I'd definitely like to hear your ideas!
Yes. Each customer's "configuration data", i.e. meta-data about what they see, what is displayed, what they can do, what they can't do, security settings, etc. is stored in a database. The application is guided by this meta-data, and also default meta-data.
OK, now I see what you mean!
Aside from one or two configuration files all the so-called meta-data or configuration data are indeed stored in our RDBMS. But this is not really the problem. In fact it doesn't even influence the view templates directly.
The behavior in the view templates is the problem: only parts of a template visible depending on a condition, conditional inclusion of other templates, (partial) overriding of templates from the base application, "code" which class real Java code with reflecteion and other nice tricks... And all this is not driven by some data from the database or something like that, but mainly by the application flow at runtime! So in this part of the big picture I don't see how a database would really fit in except for storing all XML templates in it which wouldn't make the system more maintainable, in particular not more manually maintainable. This is really a design problem with the entire system, I think.
The "behavior" of your view templates can be controlled with meta-data. Different customers can experience different behavior.
And all this is not driven by some data from the database or something like that, but mainly by the application flow at runtime!
This describes what exists today.
In regards to your view templates, the meta-data in the database would be a fundamental part of the application flow at runtime!
Oh, I see - I misunderstood what you were talking about.
We simply use a folder structure for customers, and SVN for versioning. Seems to work perfectly well.
Unfortunately I still didn't get i, James... I mean, basically I understand what you're talking about but I suppose you should see those "templates" in action to understand my point. They are not only ordinary templates you probably know from other view technologies. Some of these beasts are alive That is they have behavior almost like a piece of code thanks to the magic going on behind the scenes with reflection and the like. Of course this should have been avoided in the past and could be cleaned up with quite a bunch of work which in turn would reduce a lot of the maintenance burden.
But even if the templates would be well-structured and all but the essential template logic would be removed I couldn't still see the real advantages of putting templates into a database. Of course you're right, data should be kept in a database but in my opinion such templates are not the data I'd want to have all in a database. If they are regular files managed with a typical versioning tool I can tell any person to simply check out the template directories and edit the files as any other file on the computer without having to know how to handle databases. In contrast if the templates are stored in our RDBMS I'd need at least some kind of tool to make it as easy as possible for web designers etc. to access and manipulate such files. I don't believe those people would be amused if they had to take care of database stuff.
Perhaps you could be a little bit more precise regarding the "meta-data" you're talking about. Maybe I'm still missing something to fully understand the solution you've suggested.

Sounds like there is a significant group of design flaws in this "magical" code and all the "wonderful" things that are happening. XML design with a narrow perspective usually results in XML that is difficult to manage.
I never mentioned putting the templates into database tables. I also have not mentioned a "solution" either. What I have conveyed is a way or path to a solution that you would have to create, if you can see it.
Information about the behavior related to how the XML structures are formed is what can be stored in database tables. This is how you can achieve efficient customization for each customer with the same application code. You really need to understand what needs to be done and would really need to redesign your current system.
Think about the current conditional logic, parameters, arguments, etc. that currently exist. Then think about how this varies from customer to customer. What is it about "customer" that makes this happen this way or that way?
The data in the database can be transfomed into objects similar to how a struts-config.xml file is transformed into objects when a web application is deployed. Use these objects for guiding the behavior of the templates instead of the hard-coded stuff.
*Everything* is data. Even program code.
How data should be stored depends on a lot of factors: the structure of the data and in which ways it needs to be processed, just for example.
A RDBMS is a good place for data that maps well to the relational model, that needs to be queried in ways where the relational model is a good fit, and that needs to be accessed in transactional ways.
For other kind of data, there are alternative DB models, and non-DB alternatives. It would be quite ineffective to rule them out just because you are "dealing with data".
OK, OK, I just said "data" but of course I only meant data which are appropriate to store into a RDBMS ;-) As I said I don't see any value in storing really _EVERY_ data into a database.
You got it! But in fact it's not a significant group of design flaws. This whole thing IS a design flaw. On the sad days I often think to myself if it would be even possible to get everything into such a mess if you'd have to do it from scratch :-) I guess it would take a lot of time to come up with all the bad ideas and habits which have lead to this situation.
You would pull this information out of the current code, but still use it in the current code.
We are simply talking about good application design, aren't we? Of course I don't have problems to imagine a well-designed application with some kind of database backend. I just couldn't see how this would help me in the current situation. Under "normal" circumstances it wouldn't have taken so long to convince me of your ideas ;-) Unfortunately it's just fact that a complete application redesign, which definitely would be necessary to even get near the situation you describe, is not worth the effort. As you can imagine the design of the whole application is quite similar to those templates. Therefore it would be impossible to quickly repair just the template part. At least there are future plans to start from scratch with the well-known requirements of the old application but hopefully without its problems.
Any concepts like "inheritance" in XML?

Audience insights boost advertising impact by fostering relevance. Insights mean brands can convert a basic understanding of an audience into precisely defined, targetable segments. When brands use programmatic buying to activate a segment, the data underlying the audience insights can inform media buying one impression at a time. The resulting ad impressions have a level of relevance that inspires people to take action, over and above what they may have had through traditional buys.
Brands are embracing programmatic to measure what matters, establish one-to-one connections with audiences at scale, engage across screens and access top-quality inventory. In order to put the power of programmatic to work a brand must first organise its audience insights.
When your brand can demonstrate its relevance at a key moment that matters to the consumer, it will reap rewards in the form of sales, loyalty and brand advocacy. Successfully resonating with consumers comes down to audience data; this holds the information that brands need to be relevant. Brands that can own their data and organise their insights are best positioned to appeal to audiences and increase the impact of their advertising. In this area, three guidelines underpin a strong strategy.
Data is powerful, but all too often it is divided into silos by digital channel and device. The most powerful audience insights bring all silos together to reveal consumer interactions across channels and screens.
Our Recommendation: Invest in a tag management system to gather first-party audience data. Ideally the solution should provide quick access, organisation and flexibility with data sets across all devices.
Audience insights that flow into a system in real-time enable actionable decisions. In just an instant, an in-market buyer can make a purchase and cease to be in-market. In another instant, a cold prospect can become a paying customer. Staying aware of these kinds of changes will enable brands to optimise their relevance to the current moment. Consumers act in real-time, and so should data.
Our Recommendation: Work towards a comprehensive view of audience engagement by aggregating first, second and third-party data sources, digital analytics data, offline data, CRM data and campaign data — in real-time whenever possible. Each captured interaction between the audience and brand will make it smarter than the last, so start by taking advantage of the data you currently have available, and build from there.
With a strong data foundation in place, brands can precisely define the audience they want to reach, making it easier for them to be relevant.
Our Recommendation: Regularly analyse audience, creative and media insights to learn what's working and what's not. Choose an analytical tool with attribution modelling in order to see which channels are most successfully engaging audiences. Compare campaign performance across channels. Then, explore which audiences are the most profitable, which audiences engaged the most with a campaign and which creative units resonated with different audiences. Act on the insights by adjusting on the audience strategy, creative strategy, media strategy, or all three.
Great marketing starts and ends with the audience. The efforts that a brand invests in understanding its audience — such as obtaining audience data and organising insights across channels and screens — will help ensure relevance when it matters most. In short, a strong foundation of audience insights is critical to programmatic buying success.

Irish Fairy Tales
James Stephens 1 story
Mongan and his servant went home, and (for what pleasure is greater than that of memory exercised in conversation?) for a time the feeling of an adventure well accomplished kept him in some contentment. But at the end of a time that pleasure was worn out, and Mongan grew at first dispirited and then sullen, and after that as ill as he had been on the previous occasion. For he could not forget Duv Laca of the White Hand, and he could not remember her without longing and despair.
It was in the illness which comes from longing and despair that he sat one day looking on a world that was black although the sun shone, and that was lean and unwholesome although autumn fruits were heavy on the earth and the joys of harvest were about him.
"Winter is in my heart," quoth he, "and I am cold already."
He thought too that some day he would die, and the thought was not unpleasant, for one half of his life was away in the territories of the King of Leinster, and the half that he kept in himself had no spice in it.
He was thinking in this way when mac an Da'v came towards him over the lawn, and he noticed that mac an Da'v was walking like an old man.
He took little slow steps, and he did not loosen his knees when he walked, so he went stiffly. One of his feet turned pitifully outwards, and the other turned lamentably in. His chest was pulled inwards, and his head was stuck outwards and hung down in the place where his chest should have been, and his arms were crooked in front of him with the hands turned wrongly, so that one palm was shown to the east of the world and the other one was turned to the west.
"How goes it, mac an Da'v?" said the king.
"Bad," said mac an Da'v.
"Is that the sun I see shining, my friend?" the king asked.
"It may be the sun," replied mac an Da'v, peering curiously at the golden radiance that dozed about them, "but maybe it's a yellow fog."
"What is life at all?" said the king.
"It is a weariness and a tiredness," said mac an Da'v. "It is a long yawn without sleepiness. It is a bee, lost at midnight and buzzing on a pane. It is the noise made by a tied-up dog. It is nothing worth dreaming about. It is nothing at all."
"How well you explain my feelings about Duv Laca," said the king.
"I was thinking about my own lamb," said mac an Da'v. "I was thinking about my own treasure, my cup of cheeriness, and the pulse of my heart." And with that he burst into tears.
"Alas!" said the king.
"But," sobbed mac an Da'v, "what right have I to complain? I am only the servant, and although I didn't make any bargain with the King of Leinster or with any king of them all, yet my wife is gone away as if she was the consort of a potentate the same as Duv Laca is."
Mongan was sorry then for his servant, and he roused himself.
"I am going to send you to Duv Laca."
"Where the one is the other will be," cried mac an Da'v joyously.
"Go," said Mongan, "to Rath Descirt of Bregia; you know that place?"
"As well as my tongue knows my teeth."
"Duv Laca is there; see her, and ask her what she wants me to do."
Mac an Da'v went there and returned.
"Duv Laca says that you are to come at once, for the King of Leinster is journeying around his territory, and Kevin Cochlach, the charioteer, is making bitter love to her and wants her to run away with him."
Mongan set out, and in no great time, for they travelled day and night, they came to Bregla, and gained admittance to the fortress, but just as he got in he had to go out again, for the King of Leinster had been warned of Mongan's journey, and came back to his fortress in the nick of time.
When the men of Ulster saw the condition into which Mongan fell they were in great distress, and they all got sick through compassion for their king. The nobles suggested to him that they should march against Leinster and kill that king and bring back Duv Laca, but Mongan would not consent to this plan.
"For," said he, "the thing I lost through my own folly I shall get back through my own craft."
And when he said that his spirits revived, and he called for mac an Da'v.
"You know, my friend," said Mongan, "that I can't get Duv Laca back unless the King of Leinster asks me to take her back, for a bargain is a bargain."
"That will happen when pigs fly," said mac an Da'v, "and," said he, "I did not make any bargain with any king that is in the world."
"I heard you say that before," said Mongan.
"I will say it till Doom," cried his servant, "for my wife has gone away with that pestilent king, and he has got the double of your bad bargain."
Mongan and his servant then set out for Leinster.
When they neared that country they found a great crowd going on the road with them, and they learned that the king was giving a feast in honour of his marriage to Duv Laca, for the year of waiting was nearly out, and the king had sworn he would delay no longer.
They went on, therefore, but in low spirits, and at last they saw the walls of the king's castle towering before them, and a noble company going to and fro on the lawn.
