Cúram development notes

After seeing my friend's site with her Oracle notes, I thought I should write something similar but with Cúram instead. Rather than creating a new blog, I am just using my existing blog with the curam tag. And with my delusion of grandeur, I would eventually package the whole thing into a book later. Cúram is an industry solution framework specifically designed for social services. However, since I am a very jaded person, I reduce it down to this.

Cúram is a framework that contains a bunch of generators and build scripts with a reference application that does integrated case management.

There are many flaws with it as well, and they can be improved. However, don't get me wrong its not too too bad, you would normally buy it for the reference model rather than an application framework. For an application framework, I would use Trails instead which uses saner stuff: Maven, Tapestry, Spring and Hibernate. Cúram has a lot of custom code to do everything, but it is quite old so its hard to change without breaking existing installations. I also get job offers for more than twice my current salary, but it would take a bit more than that for me to leave my current employer. Most of the jobs are for contractors, so if you are unemployed, it's a nice skill to learn.
