Determining the best way to break up code into different folders and namespaces

Question

i have the following directories:

-UI
-BusinessLogic
-DataAccess
-BusinessObjects

if i have a class that is a client stub to a server side service that changes state on a server system, where would that go . .

Answer 1

this code belongs in the recycle bin ;-)

seriously, if you wrote it and don't know where it goes, then either the code is questionable or your partitioning is questionable; how are we supposed to have more information about your system than you have?

now if you just want some uninformed opinions, those we've got by the petabyte:

1. it goes in the UI because you said it's a client stub
2. it goes in the business logic because it implements the effect of a business rule
3. it goes in the data access layer because it is accessing a state-changing service
4. it goes in the business object layer because it results in a state change on the server

it would be more helpful if you told us what the stub actually does; without specifics it is hard to know where it belongs, and/or it is easy to argue in a vacuum about where it "should" belong
