I wasn't suggesting doing OOP. In fact I never understood why people
keep trying to do OOP with CF. I am suggesting that you need a
methodology that scales and Fusebox doesn't. Choosing a methodology
isn't a popularity contest. It is about figuring our what is the best
for the project's requirements. In this case you are choosing a popular
methodology for dynamic web sites instead of determining your
application's requirements and then choosing a methodology.

Not to get on a rant or anything but CF alone by itself is not an OOP
language, most of the programmers including myself have no expereience
in
doing OOP (though a lot on the list may). Fusebox is about as close to
an
organized way of programming CF as you can get, it's not new and it has
proven itself in a lot of instances. It's not better than Java and it's
not
better than OOP, but this is CF. So we're sorry you don't wish to help
us,
but a final decision had to be made to use a standard methodology and
Fusebox was the most popular on the list.

Subject: CMS project comments
My team and I are currently building a CMS using CF and Java that has to
handle hundreds of thousands of content objects and scale to handle
millions of page requests an hour. I would be happy to contribute to an
open source CMS that can do the same thing. I may even be able to open
source code we have created here at DevX for our CMS. However, I am
unwilling to contribute to a project that shoots itself in the foot by
using something like Fusebox. It is important to use a scalable and
extensible application framework and architecture. Fusebox is neither.
While Fusebox is good for people who don't know how to create their own
architecture and/or framework, it should be avoided by those that do.
