Re: [CFCDev] Factory Pattern

[Chris Scott]

As your model becomes more complex you will probably begin to deal with a lot of wiring code. You might want to take a look at ColdSpring and see how it accomplishes all the wiring through what is called Dependency Injection. You describe the relationships of collaborating cfcs in an xml config file and coldspring handles the wiring of those components and their lifecycle as singletons (or non-singletons). Coldspring also differs from the approach you guys are describing for retrieving cfcs, where instead of calling createUser(), createProductManager(), etc. you would simply call getBean('user'), getBean('productManager'), simplifying the api greatly. If you're looking to role your own system for the fun and challenge of it, by all means, go for it! I'm just letting you know, there's a fully developed system out there that handles these issues quite gracefully.
