Thanks Brian! As soon as I get 5 minutes I will take a look.
Cheers,

That's one way to do it. I'd argue that you shouldn't be calling Reactor
from within your Circuit XML at all. I would recommend creating a service
layer to encapsulate your model (which includes Reactor). That way you can
use it from your Fusebox circuits or your remote facades. Basically, the
model (including Reactor) should never know or care how it is being used.
Could be Fusebox. Could be Model-Glue. Could be Flash Remoting. Could be
web
services. Could be AJAX. If letting all of these kinds of use of your model
sounds like it is going to take a lot of work, then that means you should
think about refactoring your model. Because in a well-encapsulated model,
allowing for any or all of these takes almost no effort at all.
I wrote a blog entry on AJAX interaction with the model yesterday in
response to this and other questions on the blogs and lists. Have a look if
you like:
http://www.briankotek.com/blog/index.cfm/2007/7/25/AJAX-Data-Requests-vs-AJAX-Content-Requests
I also have a presentation and sample code on Framework Agnostic Models
that
I gave at this year's Frameworks conference. It might make the idea of a
neutral model more clear:

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info Brian. I'm sure it makes sense and I think I
understand!
So, just to clarify, if I have a circuit (fb5.1 app) called Districts
which contains all the fb code for handling Districts. Instead of
calling Reactor directly in fb I would create 2 cfcs one could be
DistrictFacade.cfc and the other could be DistrictRemote.cfc.
Then any ajax calls would hit DistrictRemote which in turn would hit
DistrictFacade and this would then make calls to Reactor?
Am I almost there?
Cheers,
Dave
