Ajas, you mention some loving/some hating XML files. I didn't see any reply from you on my note offering yet another alternative (sent 10/24), where I said simply:
"Or one may find it a little easier to use ini files, and CF's functions to read them (added in CF 6), such as getprofilestring, getprofilesections, setprofilestring." I'm not knocking any of the solutions you found, nor do I have any hatred toward XML myself, but I would again argue that for some uses it would definitely be "easier" than XML. :-) Not as robust or flexible, no. But if you just want to read in a few strings that would vary in the implementation of such an ini file would really suit the purpose well. It's just one of the many easily missed features that CF offers. Not trying to stop you following the other approaches. Just want to make sure folks are aware of the alternative. :-) /charlie From: ad...@acfug.org [mailto:ad...@acfug.org] On Behalf Of Ajas Mohammed Sent: Tuesday, November 03, 2009 8:42 PM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Development vs Production Application.cfm and other things... Thank you everyone. The suggestions from everyone were very helpful. Using the suggestions helped me come across these links http://environmentconfig.riaforge.org/ http://learn.objectorientedcoldfusion.org/wiki/Managing_Multiple_Environment _Configurations http://tutorial304.easycfm.com/ http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2005/9/2/ColdFusion-101-Config-Files -AGoGo-Part-2-XML-Files Looks like more people are using or prefer XML. I did see some ppl show hatred towards XML which is very hard to understand. You would think xml is the simplest way of storing data or doing things like this. Personally, I would prefer XML as its easy to work with.
