AjaxCFC question
Hello to everyone familiar with ajaxCFC,
My component file component.cfc start getting too big and difficult to manage
(loads of functions there). Is there any way I could define more than one
components on the config of the index page. For example at the moment I have:
_ajaxConfig = { '_cfscriptLocation':'component.cfc',
'_jsscriptFolder':'/js',
'debug':false};
Can I do :
_ajaxConfig = { '_cfscriptLocation':'component1.cfc, component2.cfc,
component3.cfc',
'_jsscriptFolder':'/js',
'debug':false};
thanx in advance
Ioannis

Re: AjaxCFC question
Ioannis,
I'm not sure you can do that, but, could you extend your cfc's? This might
work --
in your component2.cfc cfcomponent extends=pathtocfc.component1
in your component3.cfc: cfcomponent extends=pathtocfc.component2

cfajax vs ajaxCFC Question.
I have used both of these APIs in my test environment. I think they both work well. There are pros and cons in choosing one over the other, and most of these issues I encountered were minor. For instance, ajaxCFC is easier to set up, but the thing I don't like about it is the passed parameters are transformed and received as array arguments by the CFCs. As for CFAJAX it is more work to set up, I like the fact that arguments are received by functions the way there have been passed by the calling page. So you keep variable naming in tact for self-documenting and easy debugging. Also with CFAJAX you can't use it within CFC framework. So there's a mixed bag of good and bad between the two. I am about to pick one of these APIs and use it in my production environment and I want to hear your opinions from those of you who have used it extensively. I would like to hear your advice on what to watch out for under each and which one would you recommend if you have worked with both. Thanks. ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:234889 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
Re: cfajax vs ajaxCFC Question.
Also with CFAJAX you can't use it within CFC framework. Huh...perhaps you mean something else, but we use CFAJAX with CFCs just fine. All I can say is I haven't tried ajaxCFC, but CFAJAX is the bees knees..we love it...we don't even post forms anymore!!! ;-) Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.

RE: cfajax vs ajaxCFC Question.
I haven't tried CFAJAX, so I don't know the answer to your question. But may be you might want to have a look at : JSMX (http://www.lalabird.com/) (or is it too late for you to consider another API) ?? I found it much easier to set up and use than ajaxCFC. May be it is just my preference. Regards, Pine -Original Message- From: Nick Han [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2006 10:56 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: cfajax vs ajaxCFC Question.

RE: cfajax vs ajaxCFC Question.
For instance, ajaxCFC is easier to set up, but the thing I don't like about it is the passed parameters are transformed and received as array arguments by the CFCs. This isn't true anymore. The latest release, 0.66 I believe, does arguments the same way that cfajax does. I would like to hear your advice on what to watch out for under each and which one would you recommend if you have worked with both. I have used both, and personally I prefer ajaxCFC mainly because it's a lot easer to setup. Also, the last cfajax release I used before jumping ship didn't work with Apple's Safari. This may or may not be a concern for you, but for my site (http://techfeed.net/cfQuickDocs/) that was a deal breaker. I don't know if this has been fixed yet (in cfajax), but I know I mentioned it a few times over a couple of months on the mailing list, and I never even got a response. Which brings up the last reason I like ajaxCFC, there's a lot better support. Arjun is a great guy, and he's awesome for having created cfajax and giving it to the community, but he isn't very good at giving support. Rob, on the other hand, is always very responsive and helpful on the ajaxCFC mailing list. --- This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.

Personally, I've found cfajax fairly easy to deal with once you get it installed and working, so I don't really consider that an issue. Although the documentation talks about mappings and such there's really no need for the mapping. I haven't tried ajaxCFC but I don't like the sound of what you described with reference to variables. You *CAN* use cfajax in a CFC environment if you make some modifications. For example, you could take the functions out of functions.cfm and put them into a component, and then do something like this in your functions.cfm file: cfinclude template=/ajax/cfajax.cfm cfset createObject(component,ajaxFunctions) !--- expose the following functions --- cfset myFunction1 = ajaxFunctions.myFunction1 cfset myFunction2 = ajaxFunctions.myFunction2 cfset myFunction3 = ajaxFunctions.myFunction3 Rick ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:234912 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
