I have a group of business objects which access a group of similar tables.

All of these objects share some fundamental business rules - for example, no records can be created prior to a certain date.

My initial approach to solving this was to create a subclass of kBizRules, called DEBITRULES, and create a common set of business rules for this class. I would then subclass debitrules for each of the business objects, so I could apply more specific rules to each object.

The issue is I need to access a view to check the common rules. The view is the same for each object. How can I do this without adding the view to each of the business objects which will be using this debitrules subclass? If I do that, then every time I add a new view to check a rule, I'll need to add it to each business rule's data environment.

Or, perhaps there is an alternative way for a bunch of business objects to share common rules (which require lookups in views).

Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks,

David
