I generally won't put any view/html type code inside a cfc if I can help it.
There are several different frameworks that make the understanding of this relationship easier. Personally I prefer Fusebox. There are also Model-Glue and Machii. To make this basic though you would call the method of your data retrieval as part of your controller, then use the return (a query I assume?) to populate your view. > -----Original Message----- > From: Morten Kruse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2007 1:57 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Splitting UI and Data > > Iââ¬â¢m about to construct a new Coldfusion application and I want do use > an object orientated approach. > But I donââ¬â¢t know how I should do this. > > I have read the article written by David Friedel.
