I like ColdSpring. I like having "XML documentation" for that layer of my codebase. As such, I have several sites that I don't plan to migrate to DI/1 or WireBox. I also do a lot of Java consulting work, and switching from Spring (Java) to ColdSpring (CFML) is less painful for my brain. :) That being said, lots of people like DI/1 and Wirebox, but all you'd "gain" by moving to them is being able to say "yes we're now using DI/1 instead of ColdSpring".
I don't see why ColdSpring would be more likely to break from a future CF update than any other library. One should always test code when changing flavors of CF, that's not specific to ColdSpring. Personally, I'd leave the site alone at least for now. Future projects, I consider DI/1 or Wirebox, depending on the stack and requirements. I'm also semi-secretly hoping someone maintains ColdSpring moving forward, but I'm probably in the minority on that. 2 cents. Hope that helped. -Nolan PS. Shameless plug! I'm giving a talk at dev.Objective() titled "Dependency Injection: Why Is It Awesome and Why Should I Care?" Ya'll should come watch! :) On Thu, Mar 19, 2015 at 8:31 AM, Dean Lawrence <dean...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I've been using ColdSpring for a good number of years and it is pretty much > a part of almost every site that I have developed.
