Hi. Just had a quick look at cfwheels (what an odd name!). It's got some similarities to the framework I'm currently developing (called Glacier - am actually using it in production) in that the URLs are mapped to controller functions. cfwheels looks interesting, but I would say beware the version number - very low for something you might want to adopt.
On the question of model components that map to tables, it's one of those ideas that is good in principal. However, in principal, it only works right up until that moment where you have a piece of business logic that crosses over between two (or more) tables. For instance, take a property website. You have one table for 'house' and one table for 'estate agent'. If you want the agent for that house, which model object do you put the function in. It gets a bit arbitrary, but at least it has structure. In my opinion, if you're going to do this, you have to be very strict with yourself and be prepared to create 'gateway' model objects which can act as overarching packaging objects for anything that doesn't fit your pattern. -- Mike Horne On Tue, May 20, 2008 at 12:16 PM, Mark Ireland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I do find this list is not the best one for noob OOP questions. > > Which list would people suggest is better? > > You may already know that "Mark Mandel is a software developer in Melbourne > Australia that spends most of his working day developing in ColdFusion and > Java."
