I hate to repeat myself, but you gave me the opportunity John thanks. Last line from my previous post: -
"For all the non believers out there it can be done in ColdFusion it really CAN!" Maybe I'm dogmatic, maybe I'm kind of a flimsy developer, not one of the real big boys. But since 1996 I have been developing every conceivable size and kind of web site in CF. Bottom line, it worked every time and I have a lot of happy clients-friends-previous enemies to prove it! Sorry about the repetition.

Anyone care to possibly elaborate > on what he might've meant? I'm late to the thread, and other people have said it already, but this is an important topic so I'd like to two-cents too, tia. It can be useful to separate your raw data, from your procedures, from your interface. With server-side generation of pages we've already got data separated out... we're familiar with that concept. Classic ColdFusion pioneered putting higher-level instructions into the presentation layer... CFQUERY is a simple instruction which invokes an expanded set of rules on the server. (Compare the PHP/ASP approach, where the instructions are hardwired into the presentation layer.) I'm guessing that person may have gotten to "kinda hokey" by not knowing the current and near-term encapsulation methods... maybe they had heard about "Enterprise Java Beans", and didn't know about parallel scalability models. Maybe you could ask that person what they meant, specifically...? ;-) jd John Dowdell, Macromedia Developer Support, San Francisco CA US Search technotes: http://www.macromedia.com/support/search/ Offlist email risks capture by the spam filters.
