Yes, that has definitely been a common theme. We upgraded macromedia.com (50 applications, lots of CFCs, complex Java integration, some Flex) and hit only a couple of corner cases: - <cfbreak> is no longer allowed inside <cfcase> (fixing a bug in CF6.1 and restoring compatibility with CF5) - <cfmail> requires <cfmailpart> to send multi-part email (CF6.1 introduced <cfmailpart> but allowed you to fake the MIME parts anyway, CF7 adds features and bug fixes in this area but the trade-off is the old way of faking multi-part emails is no longer valid) - web service mapping change for QueryBean (CF7 added a global mapping for QueryBean which may break web service calls made from Java code that is invoked from CF) The first two were "bad code" on our part (effectively relying on bugs in CF6.1). The last one will only catch people doing "strange" web service stuff. We just commented out the new QueryBean mappings in WEB-INF/client-config.wsdd (not recommended in general but a good workaround for us). The benefits of some of the new features - for us: PDF / FlashPaper generation, JMS event gateways - outweigh the minor pain we experienced during the upgrade. -- Sean A Corfield -- http://www.corfield.org/ Team Fusebox -- http://www.fusebox.org/ Breeze Me! -- http://www.corfield.org/breezeme Got Gmail? -- I have 49, yes 49, invites to give away!
