I've got it working by using the following code:
<cfset event.copyToScope(variables, "xe.forgotPassword") /> . <a href="#event.linkTo(xe.forgotPassword)#">Forgot Password?</a> However, it would be cool if I could just do: <a href="#event.linkTo(xe.forgotPassword)#">Forgot Password?</a> The last example doesn't work now though, and I'm not sure how easy it would be to implement -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Charlie Griefer Sent: 21 July 2009 20:55 To: [email protected] Subject: [Model-Glue] Re: Are eXit Events still recommended in MG3? +1 Dan. When I was first learning Fusebox, the concept of why XFA's were needed was hard for me to grasp. It seemed like unnecessary abstraction just for the sake of abstraction. But as I started using them, I did find it somewhat comforting that I could look at my circuit.xml file and know exactly what was going on in any given place, all centrally located in one file. Same with MG and MG.xml. Especially with the cfeclipse frameworks plugin. I don't think it would be terrible to forego them in favor of event.linkTo() with a hard-coded event-handler argument. But my preference would be to keep that info in the MG.xml, where I can peruse the event-handler names easily, and just add/modify an XE values right there as needed. Like so many other things, I think it just comes down to personal preference. I can't think of any compelling reason why I'd call either way "bad".

I ensure all applications I design and architect use XEs. There is no reason why event.linkTo() should get in the way of using XEs, since XEs are simple event parameters.

You still have to define where that link will go and, like with XEs, making that configurable is nice. So, I'm not convinced it's a terribly important thing to do, but if you feel compelled to do it then great! In my experience, I haven't found much value in XEs. Doug Hughes, President Alagad Inc.

Is it still best practice to set exit events e.g. xe.submit in the modelglue.xml file? All the documentation examples seem to hardcode the exit event into the view e.g. <a href="#event.linkTo("user.profile", "userId")#">Example Link</a> Thanks, Gareth -- "Come to the edge, he said.
