I have used alot of Concepts from Jakarta Structs as MVC for recent application. It worked very well, with a very high level of code management. Begining with file structure
index.cfm is the only exposed page of the applicaiton. application.xml for application level control/instantiation system/model/data -- contains data objects system/model/logic -- logic controls system/model/validator -- validation controls for forms etc system/controller -- controller files system/view -- all view sub-components or pages. controller.xml for flow control and method execution mappings.. similar to whats done in Jakarta Struts except ...*.cfc used here. All method mappings are executed dynamically and variables in the xml mapping get the result or set values in variables scope. View Components do NOT touch high level scope variables like client/session/application. I have been quite happy with the Model.. Once the model is written.. all you do is write your data layer methods and view pages.. and you are done.. The controller does the rest of the job. > Ease of development and organization Heavy resistance from other CF Developers at first.. but then some started to realize the benefits... Others are hung on the Fusebox 3 Case Style. If you are really excited about developing some class applications and tight coding... it becomes very hard to work with developers who arent looking to improve.. but just get the project done...
