Hi Josh, One of the design concepts for the onTap framework is that it allows you to migrate individual pages of an application gradually as needed. You may be able to get that done to some extent as well with some other open source frameworks like recent versions of FuseBox, although the front-controller may make it more of a challenge, because it may mean changing a lot of the URLs in links and forms in your application or creating mod-rewrite rules. The design of the onTap framework by comparison will allow you to migrate to the framework without changing any of the URLs in your application. That should help since you can't afford to redesign your navigation or login.
(I hear there's work on adding "event beans"(?) in an upcoming version of Fusebox that will allow it to work more like the onTap framework and make migrating to easier.) The framework does have its own Application.cfc, which means you would be moving up from your Application.cfm, however, the framework design also supports a tiered onRequestStart event that should make it easy to migrate your existing Application.cfm code structure into the framework. You can download the latest onTap framework build from http://ontap.riaforge.org With regard to accessing variables from another site that uses client variables, there are a variety of options. Syncing the sessions between sites like that is always a bit of a challenge. I might look into oAuth (I believe there's a CF project for it on RIAForge). I'm hesitant to offer more specific suggestions without knowing more about your particular needs. :) Good luck! ike -- s. isaac dealey ^ new epoch isn't it time for a change? ph: 817.385.0301 http://onTap.riaforge.org/blog ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:320786 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
