What-evah, Dave. Fusebox kicks ass for the very implementation you mention.
COMs can be called from a single file (using a new prefix com_filename.cfm
if you want), then whenever you need that COM, you cfinclude that file.
Maybe it would help us if you made a distinction between application logic
encapsulation and business rules encapsulation. If you do both within
COM/EJB, then you practically don't even need CF for anything other than
CFOUTPUT. If however, you want application logic in COM, but still want
business rules in CF, then Fusebox is great. No?
It seems to me that if you remove application and business logic from CF,
then a structured application architecture (like Fusebox) becomes less of a
necessity. What kind of CF architecture do you guys use in EJB/COM-heavy
apps?

I'd have to be working on applications where the complex logic is stored in
CF, instead of in other application tiers. I don't want to fuel another "Is
Fusebox good or bad" thread, but I don't think it fits well with the type of
applications that we focus on here at Fig Leaf, which typically have lots of
client-side complexity, like frames, JavaScript, Flash, etc. and have lots
of application logic within other application tiers on the server-side, like
within stored procedures or COM/EJB.
On the other hand, if I was working on an application with all of its
complexity within CF, I'd probably like Fusebox quite a bit. Once you move
most of that complexity from CF to other tiers, though, Fusebox doesn't do
much for you, in my opinion.
