Hi Everyone,
I was recently chatting at work about how we might go about architecting a
new application.
I suggested that we have;
Objects,
Service Managers
and Gateways.
Whereby the ServiceManager is the public API for the gateway.
Then I got asked , Why?
I explained that it was good
Short answer -
Often the service layer proxies the gateway, but not always.
Also, there is no reason a archive layer couldn't communicate to multiple
gateways and/or services.

I explained that it was good practice to separate out the plublic API
from
the gateway and gave the example of changing database providers.
Not sure that's a great argument - changing DB's is very rare in
projects.
Question: Does your app consist of just database calls, or is there

Its integrated into our app and produces PDF reports.
The main advantage it has over cfdocument is pixel level control and
pagination.
Be happy to answer any questions you might have Barry, I believe
thanks Dale, appreciated.
any nasty limitations? (apart from the builder tool being on Windows only)
Do your end-users produce/manage the created CFR files? (a requirement is

It's kind of funny - but just after having writtemn the initial post I was
doing some work that was perfect for a service ayer / manager CFC.
Although very new, the DAO object was alrready in use, but was returning

bit quirky, but with training might be ok.
I don't see why they couldn't use the tool and then have a webpage where
they can upload the cfr to use. The queries can be embedded in the report.
We tend to
I could argue that the DAO which gets data should return data in the
appropriate format.
If the DAO doesn't return data in the necessary format then what is the
reason for it returning data in the wrong format.
