lol :-)
Is that real code or hypothetical?
(why mr-google says doesn't know xmlson?)
Anyway, assuming it's hypothetical, it's actually useless code.
Because most businesses wouldn't get a java programmer to check how many
carrots got sold. The business would go broke if all the checkout chicks
got replaced with java programmers.
BUT....
hypotheticalscript:
// -- Ding when the price falls below 2.25
alert( staticClone.sales.carrot._price < 2.25);
Would be much more useful. That is generate an alert when there is
somebody with a carrot price of less than $2.25.
Ok. New Idea? no. Stock exchanges and trading software already
do it. But there are so few open-source implementations of it
with a wider application in mind.
Now question is, would a java programmer get a day or two's work
setting up the trigger code for such a thing? I think so.
All hypothetical of course... but nice to consider..
