| SSW Update - Does backward compatibility kill good code? |
[the cutting edge ]G'Day Developers!
Supporting old operating systems and old versions means you have more (and often
messy) code, with lots of if or switch statements. This might be OK for you, because
you wrote the code, but down the track when someone else is maintaining it, then
there is more time/expense needed. Our views on backward compatibility starts with asking these questions:
Lets look at an example:
We have a public web service /ssw/webservices/postcode/
Because we know that not many external clients use this example, we decide to remove the old web service after some time. Just to be friendly, we would sent an email for the first month, and then another email in the second month. After that, just emit "This is deprecated (old)." We'll also need to update the UDDI so people don't keep coming to our old address. We all wish we never need to support old code, but sometimes the world doesn't go that way, if your answer to question 3 scares you, then you might need to provide some form of backward compatibility or warning.
