I aim to structure my apps so that any atomic action (with relation to the database) always happens within a single call to a listener. Depending on how you structured your app, that listener might house the CFTRANSACTION tag (but probably not), or it will be within a method that the listener calls on a CFC at a lower level.
Events in Mach-II are not analogous to fuseactions in FB4, if you're familiar with both. Events are completely distinct actions, not pieces of an action that can composited together. It may happen that you need to fire several events in the handling of one HTTP request (usually the case, in my experience), but each event is still a stand-alone action to a fairly high degree. About the highest level of chaining between actions that I ever use is to pass content from a public event to a private event that applies a layout to the content (adds page-level HTML elements, perhaps global nav, etc). Not implying that that's the right way to do it, of course, but it's worked very well for my thus far, and directly addresses your problem, so I thought I'd share. barneyb > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Behalf Of Justin Balog > Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2003 8:51 AM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: [CFCDev] Mach-ii Managing Transactions > > > > Howdy, not to turn this into a mach-ii list, but I know some > folks out there > are using it.
