I've been following this thread, and i'm wondering if this is a "confirmed" problem, especially as Ben Curtis couldn't replicate it. Right now, i have all my components under a "com" subdirectory and the site will be hosted on CrystalTech. And they all have pretty ordinary names, like Person, Text, etc. So the potential for a clash, if this can actually occur, is pretty high with my naming scheme so far.
<snip author="Robby"> I'm on Crystal Tech as well Jim ... I noticed when they brought in the 'add your own mappings' that they have reserved the com mapping. I love the convention, but I could see why the death of it's use on their part. Heh, try being a mach-ii developer to boot. From what I gathered in a light email conversation with a CT tech on the issue it's been going off the hotplate faster than domain names on ebay in the 90s. All in all when it comes to conventions such as package naming, ColdFusion and sharedhosting isn't going to play nice. period. </snip>
Ummm, that's a little confusing ... so I thought I'd write CrystalTech and ask them directly why that mapping was reserved on their system ... here's the answer i got back:
<snip author="CrystalTech Support"> It is reserved by MX6.1, not our system. Therefore, there should be more information about that on their website www.macromedia.com . </snip>
Ok, now i'm totally lost. If anyone can clear something up here, i'd appreciate it -
Thanks!
Sorry it took so long, intranet app release has me in too many directions. (all mach-ii baby!)
I only mentioned Crystal Tech due to our setup process I noticed the message com being reserved (when adding a mapping), I didn't think it had something to do with an 'assumption' with CFMX 6.1 not handling com (which we all know isn't the case).
As long as CT verifies that a mapping exists (read : not overwriting) when adding then the gui approach they have is a sound one. I'm not for sure if you can access someone elses api's (otherguys.whatever.doMethod()) thats on the same server if you became aware of its existence.
If you know, I'd like to know.
fwiw I'm using the same convention that barney had suggested when naming the mappings/packages and it's served me well. com_domain, i feel pretty lucky on the mach-ii bit, all 16 sites added the machii mapping without drama.
(when all is said and done). We're currently investigating BD JX as an option for the future. Instances would be more of a viable alternative there and thus negating this conversation in general. But we'll have to wait and watch it unfold.
Cheers, Robby
