I've been doing just what you're talking about. Home grown app, might as well have been several different developers, even though it was all just me... anywhaze...
What I had before was basically a mapped path that contained all my CFCs/functions, and I'd access that from the various sites. I see what you mean, it seems (at first) like MG (dunno, but I guess FB and MII are similar) is geared for a single app; and at least for me, I needed more of a multi-app approach. Like, to hell with even copying a model from project to project, or whatever. Bad enough using config files (I'm more of a "set everything you need when you call it" vs. "have a different config for each place you use it" type-o guy), although, I am sorta getting ColdSpring, so... well, it's all about the config files, I reckon. Anyways, I've found that even with Model Glue, it's actually quite easy to set things up so you only have one place to go to make improvements to many places. I've settled on "actionpacks"... now, I've got views in my actionpacks, which is a no-no, I reckon, from a purist point of view. But I'm not 100% sold on the whole MVC idea, even, so I say screw it. I'll let you (or, this list, over time, probably) know how it goes... the "actionpack" that I'm working on now is a "people" actionpack. I've got "people" in almost every one of my apps, and most of the info is the same... so I figured I'd start there. In each of my apps, I now have a single line that adds all the people functions I normally use... it's pretty awesome, actually... (my learning, more so than adding functionality with a single line ;) There are also "mixins", which I've only mentally explored, and that on the surface. I'll probably start using them to accomplish some of the things you're asking about... And then there's the low-tech, pretty freaking awesome as well solution to many copies of the same thing: svn:externals. They are similar to sym links, sorta. CVS has something akin, I guess, probably others... you ARE using some form of source versioning, right? That's a must, no matter what framework you run with. But long and short, I think they'll all do what you seem to be wanting... ORMs and stored procedures, well, I'm not sure how useful that combination is... I mean, a stored procedure is already sorta code-ish, vs. SQL-ish, I reckon. But I'm just a dude wandering 'round this vast world of options... the more I know, the less I know... like heroes... every answer, is another question... or something like that. Yeah. Anyone want to chime in about stored procedures and reactor? If I end up using it in one of my projects that uses them, I'll holler, if I remember, and let everyone know how it goes... now back to my not-really-an-action-pack actionpack... =] On 10/24/06, Peter Minter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello All, > > My company and I are moving a large enterprise level application from a > largely .... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:257959 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
