I'm probably overthinking this, but I have a really simple snippet of code that I want to make easily available to other developers in-house. It takes no input variables; all it does is figure out the correct link to reporting services based on the server environment (dev/QA/prod).
Given the simplicity, should this just be an include? Or at most a UDF (though I fail to see the point there, since you have to include those too, and I'm not taking input parameters). Definitely a custom tag or a cfc seem like overkill. However, my secondary concern is that we do not have a process for sharing code in-house so I could see whatever method I choose turning into a sort of default method of code reuse (even when not appropriate). Also, I'm thinking if I'm really going to approach this properly I need to request a mapping to a folder above the web root rather than simply throwing in a new folder and calling it "cfincludes". Mappings always turn into a PITA around here, but I want to do this right. Advice for getting this team moving in the right direction (noting I am not in management here)?
