Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately I did see Sean's post.
With all the hype around Flex these days I too am looking at it's
impact down the road, hence the post. Oh well I'll keep looking and
thinking and hopefully figure out a 'KISS' solution.
Thanks.

Hmmm ... Flex front end. Sean Corfield just

something the other day about the importance of a service layer here:

I've been looking into Flex rather
intensively in the past few weeks. I can
see how his advice would apply to any framework. He mentions ModelGlue
also in his post. MVC/OO Fusebox would be in the same boat. Just
mentioning it in case you haven't seen it.

I have
an form input intensive application that I would like to encapsulate
the validation rules into a CFC. This application is used and
'tweaked' for 40+ different clients each year using XML configuration
files to store things such as field labels, field required lists &
security rights . If the client has a business rule the configuration
file can't handle, then the validation code for the form must be
changed. It's really a 90/10 rule where only 10 percent of the clients
require such a change but we must design the system to support that
10%. Therefore I'm looking for a way to easily alter a validation CFC.
Seems easy enough but I use strict typing, e.g.
com.attendeeinteractive.aievolution.v100.Person, and want to continue
this practice. I've thought about a Factory object that would accept
an optional project code and then return the proper CFC to the caller.
However, this seems like my Factory object will eventually get bogged
down with lots coding changes and ultimately result in a big switch
statement. That solution just does not seem like a good one to me.
Any other suggestions out there?
As an FYI, we are currently using Fusebox 5 and have put this form
validation code in a CFM file w/in a circuit. So changing the
validation rules is easy. Copy the 'offending' circuit out to a custom
directory, altering the FB 5 XML file to point to the new circuit, edit
the CFM file and we're done. Works great for now but down the road if
I want to add a new front end, such as Flex, it's not going to work b/w
it's a framework specific solution. So I would like to put the
validation rules into a CFC to give me the option later of adding a new
front end without editing the server side business rules. That's my
goal and any help or suggestions on reaching that goal would be
appreciated.
