Really. Congratulations Mike. :) I'm not a big fan of code generators personally, because of the potential they have to produce maintenance problems later... I just have this image of myself looking at an ass-load of generated beans that all need to be tweaked or rewritten in some way that isn't easily automatable. I much prefer to use composition or inheritance than generation... I use generation sparingly and typically for non-CFC templates... but I digress... :) I'm glad to see you've found something to make life easier. :) I had a conversation with my father a couple months ago in which I was describing some code I was working on refactoring. My father actually worked on a couple versions of DOS, before the phrases "object orientation" or "refactoring" were coined. He was telling me how he'd had basically the same experience that I have, that the process of refactoring problem code is hugely gratifying, and that he was one of the first people to start talking about this idea of rewriting code with maintainability being the focus of interest, and showing or trying to show businesses that it really does make sense to take the time to do that because there's a real-world, dollars-and-cents savings in time spent maintaining the code. Anyway, not a brag or anything, it just felt good to have that connection, thought I'd pass it along. :) s. isaac dealey 434.293.6201 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:237244 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
