Re: Help on choosing a valid pattern: composite or not?

I have one object which represents a net, whose node
can either be:
1. A net
2. A proper node (of various kinds; Factories?!)

Can it be both? 

Yes, actually the "Net" contains both kind of items.

tell me when I go wrong.

A network consists of a set nodes and connections.

OK a node could itself contain a network of other nodes, but they would
not exist in the same network....that would seem a little odd.


I'll add a message in this thread to try to explain better what
I'm trying to do.

In the meantime...
- A "Node" doesn't contain a "Net"
- A "Node" can be one of the inputs of a "Net"
- A "Net" contains one or more "Nodes"
- A "Net" behaves exactly as a "Node" from the viewpoint of client
  software (well, except for a few occasions where the client code
  needs to manipulate some "Node"'s properties).

I'm not convinced I completely understand how a node can be a node or a
net.

I would prefer to say all nodes are nodes, and some nodes contain a set
of nodes that form another 'net'.

thus you sort of have a tree of networks. 

I'll try to express myself better in the next post to this topic.

Thanks for your help!

Regards,
Carmine
