Re: Coldbox plugins vs interceptors for user management
Thanks Glyn. I think interceptors make more sense. I do want this user management feature to be reusable across different Coldbox applications. I feel that there aren't any CF frameworks or apps out there(that I know of anyway) with a solid (role and feature based per website) user management built in so figured I will try to put one together. Cheers, Vineet Interceptors make requests in specific execution points in which it can process, pre-process, post-process and redirect requests, perfect for security! Think of interceptors as listeners to any request in your application. http://ortus.svnrepository.com/coldbox/trac. cgi/wiki/cbInterceptorsGuide A plug-in could make use of an interceptor or it could be a whole security plug-in that does many things. I think it really depends on what your tiring to achieve, does it need to be reusable etc. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

You might take a look at the onTap framework's Members onTap plugin. I wrote an article about the way that security system works a while back that's been fairly popular http://ontap.riaforge.org/blog/index.cfm/2008/5/11/Keep-It-Simple -- s. isaac dealey ^ new epoch isn't it time for a change? ph: 817.385.0301 http://onTap.riaforge.org/blog ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Coldbox plugins vs interceptors for user management
Hi, I am new to Coldbox and come from a Fusebox 4 / Reactor ORM background. I really like Coldbox and am considering building a role based user management system that can be ported from one Coldbox app to another. In version 3.0 beta of Coldbox sample apps there is a sampleloginapp which uses the interceptor design pattern. I have also seen an example of a login.cfc implemened as a plugin. My dilemma is that I am not sure which is a better way to approach this interceptor or plugins? Secondly with plugins how do you separate your data layer from business managers. Do all CFCs live in the plugins directory? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Regards, Vineet ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
