So patch the problem and deal with it later? And who's best practices do you follow? And which company do you call when it breaks?
Every example, though valid, is still an instance of the "easy" way instead of the "right" way... and that's fine if you're happy with that But I'm not... !k -----Original Message----- From: Doug Bezona [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2007 10:28 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Run PHP code inline on a Coldfusion page > > > C.

While it may not be common, there are a lot of large organizations out there with multiple applications in multiple languages. Having a tool that can integrate these applications can be very powerful. Getting a couple of developers up to speed on CF to write some "glue" code to get, say a .NET app and a PHP app talking to one another may make more sense than completely porting applications to another language. This isn't just an abstract scenario - this is a potential solution to a real world situation I was in a year or so ago - two large (50+) development teams combined - one team was .NET, one was Java, and they wanted to create a system that could leverage apps from both teams. The "solution", at the time, was to choose .NET as the standard, and port all of the Java code. Ick. Now with CF8's .NET support, one or two developers could simply have created the "bridge" app, and the rest of the developers could have continued moving forward with either Java or .NET or both. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 and Flex 2 Build sales & marketing dashboard RIAâs for your business.
