I think you have a good and valuable idea, however I also you should attack the problem from a design point first, because if you made a water tight design, you can later add 10 target systems without touching the main code. Your extension call for a broker/agent class theorem, with a master-agent carrying the extension connection, and an agent for each target, and if you do your job real well also a test agent allowing you/us to test the main chunk without the complexity of a target system. Bear in mind this would need to be an extended broker/agent, because the extension will surely have UI connection. So I would like to recommend think more in generic terms, like how can I make it easy to add 10 target systems without changing the main bulk of your code. You have read a number of suggestions on how to start, I would like to propose an alternative. Try to build a dummy extension, that test the perfomance of the connection, that will give valuable experience, and could be interesting for us all to know. rgds jan I. Ps. I am a C++ programmer, but have not built extensions. > > Rajath S > I year > M.Sc(Hons.)
