I thought of another question to follow up with this one. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> > The only purpose of the ColdspringPlugin.cfc is to initialize the > ColdSpring framework and the plugin is not use afterwards.

Yes that is true, in this use the plugin is extending Mach-ii. By only defining a configure method (and private methods) we are insuring that this plugin will only be used when your application application starts up. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This question is mostly out of curiosity. Is mach-ii inspecting the ColdSpring plugin for methods that have not been overriden like the pre- and post- methods with each page request? Does this add much overhead to each request? Thanks, Troy
