one reason I can think of off the top of my head is security..ex: I have custom tags that are global to the app, I may either drop them in the CustomTag directory or define somewhere in an Application,cfc (this.customtagpaths)..
In one particular directory I have custom tags that for security reasons can only be accessed in that directory. I may want a second Application.cfc to define a second custom tag directory for that part of the app. On Thu, Jan 20, 2011 at 11:29 AM, Rick Faircloth <[email protected]> wrote: > > What is the purpose of having "child" application.cfc's? > (at least in this instance...) > > Is that part of a method for building a single code base > to service multiple sites/applications? > > -----Original Message----- > From: Scott Stewart [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2011 10:58 AM > To: cf-talk > Subject: Re: multiple Application.cfcs > > > I'd agree with Steve's advice with this caveat.. > > You can extend a parent Application.cfc with a child Application.cfc > and access the parent methods through the super. class. > if you can do it all in one Application.cfc then do it.. if it makes > maintenance easier or provides a significant performance increase to > use a secondary Application.cfc in a subdirectory then do so. > > On Thu, Jan 20, 2011 at 10:50 AM, Steve Milburn <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Greg >> >> I would advise against using multiple application.cfc within the same > site. >> You're best approach may be to define a single application.cfc at the > root >> of your site, and use that single application.cfc to check if a user is >> attempting to access a protected folder and take appropriate action. >> >> Steve >> >> >> On Wed, Jan 19, 2011 at 10:26 PM, Greg Morphis <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> >>> so I've got a site with a few Application.cfc (basically I want to >>> lock down some folders). >>> If everyone has to log in to hit the admin/Application.cfc does that >>> cfc need the onApplicationStart method or even onSessionStat methods? >>> And it shouldn't need the application variables either correct? >>> Am I on the right track of thought? >>> >>> >> >> > > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:341047 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
