This is a situation where factories and IoC helps. You could pass a factory into the authenticator (the factory is generic and would not change between apps so its type is fixed). The authenticator asks the factory for the user gateway without needing to know its type. The factory config deals with the exact type of the gateway (so its XML file differs in each app). Alternately, if we had some sort of interface in CFML, you could specify a fixed interface type and have your various gateways implement that (com.myApp.user.userGateway implements genericUserGateway). Or you can just use type="any" or type="WEB-INF.cftags.component" instead of the specific gateway type. -- Sean A Corfield -- http://corfield.org/ Got frameworks?
