Re: Fusium Announces FEX Integrated Error Handling for FB3

[Lee Borkman]

Okay, pulchritudinous, compadre! But we need to emphasise then, that the new API variables created by fbx_fusebox_FEX_CF50.cfm are not yet part of any standard, explicit or otherwise.  So, for example, the "fusebox.cfcatch" variable could well be included in a future standard, but might be renamed "fusebox.catch" so that the world doesn't think we are a ColdFusion ghetto. In other words, although a future Fusebox Standards Committee will almost certainly be keeping a close eye on backwards-compatibility for "standard" API variables, they are not so likely to protect "non-standard" API variables like these. Caveat emptor (beware of tooth decay). Once again, though, it looks like a great job. Thanks heaps, LeeBB ----- Original Message ----- From: Nat Papovich   You got it right, Bjork. Our core is called fbx_fusebox_FEX_CF50.cfm. It's currently only available for CF5.   You can run plain-old FB3 apps on it with no noticeable differences. But you can also make use of the additional API vars and the error handling file(s) to make FEX work it's stuff - and to solve many of the complaints we hear on this list about Fusebox being unable to handle errors gracefully.   With the FEX core, you can type in a URL like: http://mysite.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=wikifoonoCircuit   and handle that (obviously) invalid fuseaction yourself - redirect them someplace, throw a custom error, log the request, whatever.   But that's just a small piece of the power.   NAT -----Original Message----- From: Lee Borkman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] So, just to clarify, you are saying that you have created an alternative FB3 core file (ie, fbx_fusebox30_CF50.cfm), one that nevertheless provides a perfectly compliant implementation of the Fusebox "specification".   Is that right?   Looks very interesting. ----- Original Message ----- From: Nat Papovich   ...Take a look at FEX - it's a free, and was developed by me and Erik (we're Fusium). The FEX core file is fully compliant with the existing Fusebox core files, and should be compliant with a produced Fusebox specification, once one is established. It adds an error handling file called FEX_errorCatch.cfm in each circuit, and adds a few variables to the Fusebox API. FEX has been used in production by a few members of the community already, including me and Erik, for client's applications. This is not an official release. This is not a "Fusebox Council" release. By using the FEX core, you won't be compliant with the Fusebox "spec" as it exists in the fusebox.org core files. This is not an attempt to subvert the government process - we are exploring what we can do with Fusebox, and that meant trying something new. We look forward to the continued maturation of official Fusebox under the guidance of the Standards Committee. ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: archive@jab.org EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?bUrFMa.bV0Kx9 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
