Direct DataBase calls might be faster than WDDX. We used Database to
accomplish
Localization of the application.. so basically every page has its "MetaData"
defined
in the DB like (form controls, image controls etc) and data returned in
structs.
#img['myImage']# = myImage_#request.siteCountry#_#request.siteLanguage#.gif
Conventions go like
imageName_USA_EN.gif
imageName_USA_ES.gif
Multi_language, Muti-Country (Basically a site for USA, handling Multiple
languages)
You can use a application scope CFC instance holding the MetaData, if needed
but
this might take alot Memory.
WDDX was not an option for us.
