I agree that coding standards help. I am disagreeing with the ones you are proposing and your use of the word "ideal." For example, I don't think the main use case of a cfinclude is to break up large pages into smaller chunks. I think custom tags can contain complex code. If all application logic, processes, and functions must only appear in CFCs, I think it would be challenging to create a site that is in full compliance with your guidelines.
-Does all form validation processing code go in CFCs, including the client-side form validation processing logic? -Dealing with threading issues and locking is not simple ColdFusion and setting session variables could be considered application logic. Does code that sets session variables go in CFCs? How about the code to ensure thread safety? -How can you deny a user from getting access to a page without having code outside of the CFC? This security application logic could require a cflocation, cfinclude, or cfabort tag. Do cflocation tags go into the CFC? Yes you could do all these things in a CFC, but it is ideal? -Mike Chabot On Mon, Nov 15, 2010 at 9:11 AM, Paul Alkema <paulalkemadesi...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I think that when working on a team of programmers that are all working on > the same applications or the same website that it's important to have a > programming standard or a guide.
