Doug, Don't get me wrong... I understand that in some circumstances, it's nearly impossible to implement what I'm talking about, but on the same token I had the choice to either provide the quick fix, or handle it the best I could when I took over a legacy app.
Now 3 years later and I'm finally caught up and surpassed where this should be. Now it's easier to implement changes, fix issues and accommodate radical new ideas... but it was trying to say the least. I know that if I get hit by a bus tomorrow the company won't grind to a halt and that kind of security is something that any company can appreciate. I understand that this approach isn't for everyone, but in my experience it pays out big in the end. @@ !k -----Original Message----- From: Doug Bezona [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2007 11:45 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Run PHP code inline on a Coldfusion page On 6/5/07, Kevin Aebig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > So patch the problem and deal with it later? I didn't say it was ideal, but in a business situation when you have numerous, large legacy apps, and your choice is to spend a small amount of effort to do some integration, vs. multiple thousands of man hours recreating the wheel simply so everyone is using the same environment, idealism often takes a back seat. And who's best practices do you > follow? Best practices aren't language-specific. You can institute practices that apply to everyone. And which company do you call when it breaks? Depends on what breaks. Since this is in-house developed software, it would be whomever wrote it who, one would presume, wouldn't be hard to find. 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 If "easy" is (literally) millions of dollars in developer time cheaper than "right", "easy" quickly becomes "right". But I'm not... It's nice that you have that luxury. Not everyone does. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 by Adobe® Dyncamically transform webcontent into Adobe PDF with new ColdFusion MX7.
