use of CCV's.
I also migrated from fb3, and although most of the time I do things much
the way barney illustrated, its important to note the flexibility that
they built into fb4.
For instance a well know fact of fb3 was taht you could not use nested
layouts and still have use of cfflush for incremental page output. With
fb4 you can still utilize nested layouts and take advantage of cfflush.
This is possible by the use of the prefuseaction and postfusaction at
the circuit level. Breaking your display into before and after
(header/footer) fragments you can have the layout build top down, then
build your incremental output then add the footer.
It was challenging to switch up to fb4 because the methodology allows
for alot of customization. Which without proper planning can be more of
a pain than a blessing.
I am sure that I missed something here, but I just wanted to round out
the other side of the feature set, and make sure you understand why they
changed that feature set.
