Figured as much, wasn't sure if the whole "com" had another meaning. Typically i have used that whole au.com.mydomain approach but felt like a prat for using the "au." part thinking i misunderstood it.
But i guess i was aok afterall :D Scott Barnes Snr Developer eCommerce Department Tourism Queensland / Sunlover Holidays [EMAIL PROTECTED] ph: (07) 3535 5406 -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Bosworth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 13 January 2004 3:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [CFCDev] Is it possible Hi Scott, The convention is taken from java development. Say I have a suite of classes that I want to sell, I would create a package name based on my domain (newcastle.edu.au). All my classes would belong to my package, and be assrued of no conflict with any one elses on their systems (unless they create a package named after my domain wiht the same classes, but why would you want to do that :-) ) Example: ====== Say I have a component name user and I want to give it to you, and you also have a component named user, and you need to use both of them in an application. All your components should be in your own "package", namely a reference to au.com.tq (the reference to component would look something like {root}\au\com\tq\user.cfc). I could give you a "package" of my components, namely au.edu.newcastle (e.g. {root}\au\edu\newcastle\user.cfc ). Now you can reference both without the worry of reference conflicts. Hope this helps you understand a bit better. There are some articles on the web which explain it in further detail if you go looking for them. Cheers, Steve. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 13/01/2004 3:56:39 pm >>> Incidently I notice more and more Java style development use the whole com.mysite.subdirs etc. My question is, why do we use the "com" part these days? In other words if you have a .com.au domain, should you adhere to au.com.mysite.subdirs? Anyone care to share the history / reasoning behind the com?
