Dean, have you built much with frameworks in the realm of using CF as
the middle ware layer?
Just curious as to how the frameworks you mentioned do in that scenario.

Frameworks solve many problems for you before you even know you have them.
Rolling your own framework is generally not a good idea. I see millions of
lines of other people's code every year in CF and Java, its always a nightmare
when someone decides to blaze their own path with respect to a framework. MVC
based frameworks are ubiquitous, there is generally no need to reinvent that
particular wheel.
The most impressive framework in the CF world that I have used recently is
Model Glue. It was used to build HacmeShipping (www.foundstone.com for a
download). Don't follow my security mistakes, however! Spring has a lot of
traction in the Java world, ColdSpring is the CF counterpart. I haven't looked
at it yet, but if its like Spring it supports loose coupling of objects through
the inversion of control pattern. Definitely worth taking a look at, as well.
FWIW, if a developer isn't familiar with and using one of the more modern
frameworks available (Model Glue, mach-ii, etc) then they are falling behind
the curve, technically speaking. I'd encourage anyone who wants to develop
code full time on a professional level to learn and become familiar with at
least one, if not more, of the available frameworks. Having them in your
mental toolkit will help you continue to succeed and make you more valuable to
your employer now and in the future.
