really understand ColdFusion, and I'd wonder whether they're serious about
supporting it.
There are two main concerns with CFX tags - [A] are there likely to be any
consequences for other clients of the misuse of this CFX tag? (for example
heavy use of the processor, hogging the RAM perhaps, opening up security
holes), and
[B] since it's installed and available to anyone on the system, what if
other clients start using the CFX tag? Will there be any consequences then?
Copyright/licensing issues perhaps? Misuse or incorrect use leading to the
sorts of problems described above.
For the vast majority of CFX tags, these aren't issues and we'd just install
them and let the client go ahead and use them. For some we'd want to take
a little while and test them or verify the licensing etc.
It also depends somewhat on the client. Some clients shouldn't really be
allowed to walk the streets without a nanny holding their hands, others know
what they're doing and you can leave them to their own devices.
But in short, we'd consider any CFX tag (or CFC, mapping, DSN, or any other
CFAdministrator setting too if it comes to that) and decide whether to do
what's asked depending on the circumstances. If the answer has to be 'no',
we'll try to find an alternative way to do what the client wants.
The default answer is YES. (Unlike when I started hosting - my first sites
were at SHANJE.COM where the default answer is "NO!" and the exception
answer is "YOU'D BE KIDDING! - NOT A CHANCE!")

What is the consensus on the use of custom tags/cfx tags with most CF hosts?
Do most work with you? Will they review its use before implementing it?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
