Pattern Colleagues,

This email marks an assertion of the "discovery" of a new pattern -
the "Adaptation Pattern". The key pattern characteristic is the
stipulation of wrapping best-in-class technologies with at least three (3)
levels of abstraction to achieve "Substitutability".

(DRAFT details are found at:

http://gtcgroup.com/joppa/The.Road.to.Joppa.html#Adaptation

Here are several (dialog-invoking) questions for the J2EE PATTERNS
community:

1) Is the pattern actually new, or simply a restatement?

2) Has the author adequately described the pattern?

3) Is the pattern (fundamentally) understandable in the absence of a
completed reference implementation (Joppa - a work in process).

4) Presuming one considers this pattern adds value (at least for dialog)
to the community - is the pattern effectively named?

5) Any other thoughts?


Was it mentioned this is a working DRAFT???


Thanks for whatever insight/perspective you can offer,
Marvin
