I would say, Chris, that Fusebox succeeds at its design goals, which are to
create scalable, maintainable code that can be written in a distributed
development environment. Whew!

If I were working solely by myself, I would be tempted to use the
object-oriented approach that Ralph Fiol's CFObjects takes. In fact, when I
was doing the Rooms To Go ecommerce site, I created some objects that I
could reuse across the sites. However, I think CFObjects is hampered by
having to have each developer with a broad understanding of the entire
application. That means longer and more expensive development cycles and
THAT'S not an easy thing to sell management on.

Hello All,

I am pretty new to the Fusebox list but have been working with Cold Fusion
since version 1.5 (ahh the good ole buggy CGI days)

The company I just went to work for has a pretty nice CF setup. CF Server on
Sparc Solaris, and an Oracle backend. I am effectively the lead developer
and we are completely retooling the Intranet. The question has risen whether
we should instantiate some sort of standardized methodology such as Fusebox.
After the research I have done I am pretty much convinced that we would
benefit from this methodology. My question is (and this comes from my
supervisors as well), is what are the downsides (if any) to Fusebox? I have
already given them my thoughts on the upsides based on my reading / common
sense. Does the fact that the Fusebox methodology seems to inherently
generate the use of more .cfm files than 'normal' on the server create any
kind of performance issues?

Thanks for any and all help.
