It's only spaghetti code if you write it that way. You can write nice structured code in CF. ColdFusion MX allows you to write OO-style code and frameworks like Fusebox allow for good separation of logic and presentation - especially in the forthcoming Fusebox MX framework which provides MVC out-of-the-box. > CF has better platform support.

ColdFusion MX on the other hand is "Java Verified". I run CFMX for J2EE on Tomcat and JRun locally. > CFMX is great for Rapid Development.

And, of course, COM is being sidelined by Microsoft as they push all their developers onto the new platform (.NET) and everyone has to rewrite their old ASP and VB apps (and everyone will have to do it all over again when Microsoft rolls out their next new platform :) Sean A Corfield -- http://www.corfield.org/blog/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
