Any framework should do that, because no framework should be even remotely bound to the URLs used for the app. With FB3, you'd skip XFAs (replacing them with another abstract representation - the inverse of the stuff I'll illustrate below), and instead of running index.cfm?fuseaction... style urls, you'd run circuit/fuseaction.cfm style urls (which you'd use mod_rewrite to transform into the first type), or whatever. Or even dir/name.cfm urls, where that template hard codes a fuseaction and any other params. Or a combination of the two. So the domain.com/products/neat_toy_with_batteries.cfm template might look like this: <cfset url.fuseaction = "products.detail" /> <cfset url.productID = 23423 /> <cfinclude template="../index.cfm" /> Obviously you'd generate all those templates from your database, not manually code them, but you get the idea. I'd still prefer a URL rewriting method though. In that case, you'd set up a lookup table that translates the path "/productes/neat_toy_with_batteries.html" into "/index.cfm?fuseaction=products.detail&productID=23423" using a rewrite map (which is again generated from your DB). That leaves the application itself just doing the application, and the URL to filesystem translation to the web server, which is where it belongs. It also lets you restructure your URL space without affecting the application at all. Of course, that's not going to help you with your coding style, just your URLs, but if you ask me, there's generally no good reason to ever use query strings on public-facing URLs. And these techniques work equally well for any application written with pretty much any framework (or no framework at all). cheers, barneyb On 12/23/05, Phill B <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I want a framework that allows for multiple directories instead of the > entire site running under a index.cfm file in the site root.
