I have received your e-mail but will be out of the office 9/9/01. I will be checking messages while away and will get back to you as soon as possible. If this is an urgent request please contact Dan Tesenair. Thank you, Darren Houle Sr. Web Developer >>> cf-talk 08/31/01 18:28 >>> Simon, Yes, you absolutley can. Here is a website that we recently did using ColdFusion and Generator: http://www.miriellografico.com/ Generator templates can produce dynamic media from datasources. These datasources can be either a JDBC/ODBC connection or a text file. We used ColdFusion extensivley in this application to format the data we pull from SQL Server and produce dynamic text files.. In this case, CF is just acting as a middle man between the database and Generator. While you can connect directly to databases with Generator, using a middle-ware scripting language like CF allows you much more flexibility. There are two methods of using Generator, online and offline (CF can assist both methods). When using online Generation, your media is generated at each request (However, you do have the ability to do some server side caching of this media). This method works fine for smaller, lower traffic Generator sites, or components that change very often (stock tickers, etc). When using offline generation, you produce static copies of the media in batch. Some larger content management tools do similar operations, producing static HTML files from the output of CF templates. Offline Generation is vital for larger sites. --- Paul Mone Ninthlink Consulting Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ninthlink.com 619.222.7082 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Simon Whittaker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, August 31, 2001 12:52 AM Subject: Slightly OT: CF + Generator > I am under the impression that you can use CF pages to create dynamic flash pages with Generator.
