Re: [CFCDev] CFCs and Forms

> Mixing logic and presentation like this can get you into trouble

Yes - although I did not say to mix logic and presentation.  The methods were separated.  And for a simple class that can generate a simple form from a schema and also validate against that schema it is quite appropriate.  The class could have been rationalised at a later point in time to provide more functionality and flexibility.

Nope - I never said it would.

> it just isn't flexible enough.

Agreed.  You would want something more akin to a Layout class and possibly an XML (XAML?, MXML?, Lazlo?) framework behind it - and then you would probably want a more complicated schema class that could span across multiple tables.  But the simple class mentioned is a starting point for someone just dipping their toe into OOP with CFMX.


You may also note that I clearly stated that I did not pretend the suggestion would meet the requirement or that I considered it "best practice".
