Yup. It'll makes things run slowly (since the framework is reloading on every request) but it will enable you to test the changes you are making more easily. If you are using Fusebox 5.x core files, you probably want development-circuit-load for mode instead since that will be faster (but won't pick up changes to fusebox.xml.cfm - you need to force a fusebox.load for that). Also, if you used the Fusebox 5.x core files, you can enable debug/tracing by adding: > > In fusebox.xml.cfm make sure that in the <parameters> section that > > <parameter name="debug" value="true" />. This will show a couple trace of every fuseaction in a request which can be very helpful (but it's a new option in Fusebox 5). Fusebox tries hard not to get in your way as a developer and the downside of that is that it does not place many restrictions on you in terms of structure. That makes it possible to create very complex, unstructured workflows :( A well-structured Fusebox app is a joy to maintain - as long as circuit and fuseaction names have been well chosen and the "call tree" (of <do>) is top-down. It sounds like neither of those are true in the app you've inherited, especially with calls from low-level circuits being made back to higher-level circuits which is definitely poor practice. It would be like having model CFCs trying to call controller CFCs in Model-Glue or Mach II. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Enterprise web applications, build robust, secure scalable apps today - Try it now ColdFusion Today ColdFusion 8 beta - Build next generation apps Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:284557 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
