I'd suggest that the way you are required to code now is probably slowing you down, especially when it comes to maintenance. For example, having every cfquery and every bit of business logic in a CFC (or a set of CFCs) makes it very easy to know where to look to change the functionality in the app. With cfquery tags all the way through a site, one change in a DB could mean having to open every file in the app to update it. It would take 5 minutes to learn the CFC syntax to get the benefits. And no, this doesn't make the user's experience better - it makes yours better.
As for AJAX, you could easily used the pre-built CF libraries such as AjaxCFC, mxAjax etc without having to do all the custom coding to deal with the data, but these only work on CFMX. The native java intergration in CFMX has saved my butt more than once too. Regardless, it appears you will get what you want out of CF 8: "Scorpio will allow ColdFusion developers to create richer, more engaging web applications" http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Scorpio:FAQ#What_features_will_Scorpio_have.3F On 2/11/07, Rick Faircloth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Neither of which have I needed to this point.
