Sean Basically it comes down to software licencing.
http://www.macromedia.com/software/eula/server/ ----------------------------------------------- Section 3 (b) of the EULA You may not alter, merge, adapt or translate the Software, or decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, or otherwise reduce the Software to a human-perceivable form. ----------------------------------------------- I ask you this. Whats the point of an administrator if all your gonna do is get into it, see how it works and create your own code that will do what the administrator does. From a point of view of a hosting provider this would be a nightmare. But from a developers point of view, there is good cause to see how it ticks. Regardless of each ones perception of what is good and what is bad, the EULA is the bible so to speak and if you violate the EULA, then good luck to you. As Spike says, if its not documented, its not documented for a reason. Coldfusion provides to developers a set of tags to do what we need to do, and what ever special things run the administrator should not be used in development. Macromedia can change, add or even remove any of those "special" tags/functions at any time from its andministrator product, so why would you rely on them for your applications.

But does making use of the cffactory services involve breaking the EULA? I'm told they're used fairly extensively in the administrator application... but I first found out about them from a developer list, and learned most everything I know about them from CFDUMP and some constructive experimentation. I'm admittedly hazy on the exact details of the EULA off the top of my head. But I'm a touch curious what dangerous ground we're treading on? -----Original Message----- From: Robin Hilliard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 5 June 2003 7:57 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] Re: cf.Factory (coldfusion.server.ServiceFactory) Don't forget what Geoff said about discussing stuff that breaks the EULA on the list...
