Hello,
Will my eZ Publish application suffer in any way, if I create large classes - one class has 38 attributes (so far no problems, but what will happen in 1000 objects time). Might it be better to break the classes up?

Thanks,
Camilo

Hi Camilo

I think having one large class is better, although this might depend on your exact requirements. Here my reasons:
- The setup for creating an object of this class is easier, with several small classes you need make sure that if the user cancels the create/edit on the second partial object, the changes on the first partial object are undone as well.
- If you display an object you just need one fetch, with several partial object you need at least one more fetch operation.
- Searching is easier.
- You have less cache files (I think)
