That's more organized than some of the apps I've seen recently :)
There's been a push lately to leave MVC frameworks among some in the CF
world, hence my last post. This was an excellent example of how MVCs if
used correctly work.

Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Tips for Analyzing an Application
He is, thankfully, working on understanding a Model-Glue app. So I directed him
to the ModelGlue.xml file which contains all the wiring (controller) logic to
understand what's happening. This draws an important point for controller based
frameworks and why most should use them. For someone (other than the original
developer) to quickly start learning the logic of the application. That logic
should always be in the controller in some form.

I'd start with what happens when the application starts up and when an
individual request comes in. Maybe draw out some UML sequence diagrams to
visually show the order of events and compnents talking to each other.

I am trying to understand a pre-existing application so that I can extend
it.
My question is: What's a good way to attack this problem?
Specifically I want to understand some parts of Mura so that I can modify
and extend the functionality. Mura uses ModelGlue and Coldspring (And
Fusebox for the admin).
I've been digging around in the code and trying to understand their content
rendering process. But, I thought someone on the list might have some good
ideas of how to methodically analyze and understand all the objects in an
application like this.
Thanks for any suggestions!
