Quick Question (or maybe not that quick): Why do most of the ColdFusion frameworks around use XML configuration files rather than providing methods to build the required data structure in ColdFusion? Something in line with what RoR does.
Have programmers, more experienced that I, found XML configs are more flexible in the long run? Or perhaps they're just easier to setup at the beginning? I'm building an MVC framework and I've been trying to avoid the "XML situps" at all cost. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Sorry for the off topic post but most of the active contributors on this listserv are very insightful. Thanks in advance. -- Regards, Todd Cullen -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Reactor for ColdFusion Mailing List [email protected] Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/reactor%40doughughes.net/ -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
