Jesse, ok - now you got my dander up a little ;)

Was your application using "improper" coding methodologies, what were the >*specific* problems? What improper coding methodologies? Are you saying there's a secret "standards" book out there that MM has written and that everyone must follow to be sure that things are backward compatible? Did no one check to see if Fusebox would work on CFMX? CF supports a variety of coding methodologies from very good to very bad - and to argue that CFMX was only designed for the "proper" coding methodologies implies that someone, somewhere has codified what that means. Some might argue that's one of the big issues with CFML. I've been involved in the community for years and I'd have to say that there is no "agreed upon" standards. There are some generally accepted best practices - but that is not the same thing. Let me add that I'm a CFMX believer. All the CF projects we are doing "going forward" are on CFMX. We are also excited about and actively using flash remoting with cfmx. So I'm not down on cfmx - nor do I think that true backward-compatibility could be acheived for more than about 80% of applications out there. My point is, CF 5 aps that ran perfectly well "may" not run so well on CFMX - and the fault is with the technology path (moving to a Java based platform). It's unfair to say "...well, they weren't written correctly to begin with". Again - I mean to be friendly here, not snipish - hence the smily face :) -mk ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm
