RE: [CFCDev] Better way than dao, gateway, bean:

[John Farrar]

With talk like that you will likely make the “do not hire list”… heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh …. whew, better get refocused. (Couldn’t resist, and maybe this will guarantee me a slot on the list also. Yet… someone said something about if your not annoying someone you’re not doing anything worth while.)   Hey… the big question is not how long it’s going to take you on a lifecycle use of your work. If it’s not going to be reused or shared with others then you may have the better choice. There is risk in both directions and many guys will argue the safe bet is to make it all scale and use perfect design according to our current understanding. Yet, as you said… there comes a time when that isn’t a 100 percent rule. There is a point where we need to not be so “productive” to make ourselves look good now that we don’t honestly evaluate the lifecycle effect of our immediate time savings. I have learned a good deal from this list on that topic on this list, even if I draw the line differently than the social safe list location personally. So if you have, or anyone else made a responsible choice on that type of thing… you may be through repeated choices of right selections saving lotsa moola! Only time and experience will tell how well you, I or anyone else does at making those choices.   John Farrar   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Munson, Jacob Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2005 12:29 PM To: CFCDev@cfczone.org Subject: RE: [CFCDev] Better way than dao, gateway, bean: <cfquery>   Has anybody ever used <cfquery>?  Ok, I'm being very sarcastic, but bear with me.  I know I'm about to start a flame war, with the two teams being all 2000 of you against me.  :) Here's a scenario: -My client wants me to return data with some edge case business logic, nobody else I work for wants this logic in my app -I need to join 5 tables using fairly complex conditions -I then need to use the data from this query in a number of cfms   Solution 1: I build all of the gateway/dao/bean/jar/dll/exe/ini/etc I need to access and join the 5 tables I then build all the cfcs and cfms that will be required to init and expose the 35 objects I created in step 1 I invoke the files created in step 2 to put the data on the screen Total time: 6 days and 1 day of rest Solution 2: I build 1 <cfquery> that lives in a cfc. I invoke the cfc on all of the necessary pages Total time: 1 or 2 hours Please excuse my lame attempts at dry humor up there.  :]  I admit I don't understand most of the stuff you guys bicker about on this list, beyond creating and invoking objects.  But does at least one person here agree with me that it is possible to take OO too far?  OO is a very important concept, but like everything else in this world, I think it can be over done.
