Steve,

I think you are confused; you can have multiple entries or actions to a
file. I am not sure how you came to the conclusion that there was one file
for every action from the presentation, because that is certainly not the
case.

Sure laying on a bed of nails is uncomfortable at first but if you do it
enough times you get used to that too :)  Doesn't mean you should do it
though does it.

The issue for me is that the framework expects action=foler.file as it was
explained during our presentation.  I don't want to have a file for every
action. I want to be able to have a single file as the entry point, a proper
index.cfm file that actually does something and then from there be able to
handle my own calls to a controller that does what I need it to do.  I don't
like the way the view part of these MVC frameworks function.  You can have
scalability and easy to manage code without that level of complexity...i
believe anyway but again this is not meant to be a frameworks war
threadi was just asking the question of what else was out there. I guess
the answer is there isn't anything

Pretty much what Sean said. simplest way is to have a file for every
page and a cfc handle the logic in a function for requests. Not sure
why ur against the MVC folder structure though. yeah its a bit hard at
the start with so many files , but this is what makes the project
scalable and easy to manage. surely u wouldnt give away all these
advantages just coz it takes a bit of effort to get used to the
general use and structure.

2010-06-02 Thread Steve Onnis
I don’t want the view folder structure. I want to actually use the index.cfm
file instead of it being empty so I can handle the view part in my own way.
This is why I am asking the question. The url rewritting comes later.  

I will do some examples so you know what I mean

Well, that's the very definition of no-framework then. There are no
frameworks you will like. They all take control of the basic flow -
that's kind of the point of frameworks.

All of the frameworks out there - from Fusebox to ColdBox and
everything in between - take the 'action' (or fuseaction or event) in
the URL and take control away from your index.cfm and route it through
either conventions or configuration to code that the framework invokes
and then the framework selects which files to display to build the
view (sometimes with hints from the developer thru API calls).

Frameworks aren't for everyone. Developers that want to keep total
control over the flow of their application and tend to every detail of
how their code works just don't like frameworks. Other developers
value the standardization that frameworks bring and understand that a
lot of the plumbing and boilerplate code is a waste of their expensive
time and they prefer to focus on the interesting parts of building an
application using an approach that other developers can easily pick up
- particularly where that approach is a publicly documented one and
you can find other developers who already know the approach.
