Here is a direct quote of Hal's from the FuseBox forums: "I think that a version of Fusebox that uses CFCs as the base component is a long ways off as in months. There are just too many problems with CFCs for me to suggest that people rely heavily on them, which we would be doing with Fusebox MX."
I have to agree with Hal's position on the matter. As cool as CFCs could be, they are still too problematic to depend heavily on. As long as CFCs impose more restrictions that the time savings over writing Java directly is worth, I think Hal's (and mine) opinion will be a fairly common one. It's been less frustrating (and faster) for me to use Java objects where CFCs should be used. Of course, this only relates to using CFCs to object orient (if I may verb a noun) CF logic. Using them for web services and flash remoting are a totally different arena. barneyb > -----Original Message----- > From: Sean A Corfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, February 24, 2003 4:42 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: FBX3 AND CFMX > > > On Monday, Feb 24, 2003, at 08:20 US/Pacific, John Paul Ashenfelter > wrote: > > This is the actual issue I *was* talking about.
