First, I'm sure this has been addressed, but a search of the
archives didn't clear it up for me.
I'm slowly incorporating some of the fusebox techniques into a few
systems I maintain or are in development. (I wish I had the
opportunity to develop a real fusebox site from scratch. Maybe in
the near future.)
I'm curious how others address this issue. Fusebox makes heavy
use of the CFLOCATION tag. Say I want to insert data into a table
from a form the user just submitted, then redirect the user to
another template. The only way I have access to the form variables
after the insert is to pass them all via the URL in the CFLOCATION
tag. Is there another way to handle this? Some of our systems
track a lot of variables throughout a user session. For most
variables, the values are user defined and change frequently. Many
of these variables are variables used for data filtering set by the
user that I need to hold on to from page to page. To keep URLs
clean, I try to pass them from page to page via forms. In some
cases I use a routine to serialize them into a WDDX packet then
deserialize them on the subsequent page. This keeps things clean
and neat only one form variable to deal with). CFLOCATION
prevents me from doing this, right?
Of course, I use session/client variables to hold static values
(variables that are generally set only once during a session).
