On top of what Teddy offered in reply to your question, Tim, I’d point out as well that despite CF9 having ORM built-in, the other ORM frameworks could continue to exist for years if only to serve those who don’t move to 9 (there’s traditionally a long slow march to any new release, taking years before even most are on it).
That said, of course, I do expect that Transfer will evolve simply because Mark likes to keep it updated for even those on the latest/greatest CF version. And as Tom noted, he’s writing actively about the CF9 ORM stuff as well. As for Reactor (not to be confused with FusionReactor), that’s harder to guess. We don’t see as much press about it, and it may even seem that Transfer and the CF9 ORM may be taking wind from its sails, but their build history shows it’s still actively updated: http://www.zen49396.zen.co.uk/reactor/?C=M;O=D Hope that’s helpful. /charlie From: ad...@acfug.org [mailto:ad...@acfug.org] On Behalf Of Teddy R. Payne Sent: Sunday, July 19, 2009 5:06 PM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Learning a ColdFusion Framework Tim, <snip> If anything, it is a possible new approach that can be an option for future release of frameworks. I do not think it will make any existing ORM frameworks null and void as adoption rates of CF servers, currently existing applications, and time/developer hour investment to change out currently embedded ORM(s). If you are creating something brand new, this is definitely future fodder for some late nights of introspection.
