At ATCC.org we had a huge site that was CF5 based. We updated the code and made a lot of changes to take advantage of CFMX. The first step we did was to run the code analyzer to remove all the very obvious incompatibilities. Then we blocked out the entire site, looking at each section in turn, moving common functions to a site cfc, or to section specific CFC's. We then added new functionality via Java objects (again called from within a CFC).
To take full advantage of CFMX 7, you need to consider redesigning the entire site. CFC's and tag based UDF's will change your approach to developing a site. Then you can get into the fun stuff like OO (but I don't want to start a religious war here). larry On 12/1/05, Russel Madere <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have been looking at my code and I have strictly been writing CF 5 code, > down to CFSCRIPT functions.
