Go figure :) I am a heavy ColdBox user, so I have some notions in my head already. I just didn't want that fact to skew the answers I receive. I have used both Mach-II and Model-Glue for some basic functionality in the past, but nothing terribly robust.
I am trying to examine my options for two projects. One is a straight- forward system that I want to build and I am wanting to build it in ALL THREE frameworks and write up a case study of my experience. The other is a generation tool, for which I need to know the caveats of both frameworks.... thus the questions. Plus, it never hurts to know the answers to questions like these :) On Sep 22, 10:39 am, Doug Boude <[email protected]> wrote: > Dang, that last list of questions sounds like you're describing Coldbox to a > tee. :) > Doug B > > On Tue, Sep 22, 2009 at 12:36 PM, whostheJBoss > <[email protected]>wrote: > > > > > > > I am asking this question on both the Model-Glue and Mach-II lists, > > hoping for responses that will make the case for each of the > > respective frameworks. > > > The simple question is... which?
