Anatole, I just ordered my copy yesterday and downloaded the PDF version but I haven't had time to do much reading yet. I'll be sure to pay close attention to that part of the book. I'm always looking for ways to improve my class libraries and coding techniques. It's refreshing to see

Anatole, In my case I needed a 100% ColdFusion based back-end solution, so couldn't really use DAOFlex. I did sit in on your session at MAX2006 though, quite a tool you have there! DK On 22 Mar 2007 23:17:44 -0700, anatolet [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Douglas, If I remember it correctly, in

Thanks Tom. As I go through the book, I am seeing more and more of that approach. Also shocking to me is that, although it has become a widely accepted way to develop large apps, Cairngorm isn't even so much as given a footnote in the book. Well, it is a great resource anyway, but not what I

Maury, Good points. And forgive me for the totally ignoring bit. It was late and I was cranky. :) You do make a valid point when you say that it seems no different than the StatesComboBox that displays US States all the time. I guess I am getting hung up on this because I primarily use

me2. Built a employee search component to search through our DB of 20,000+ employees. I wanted this component to be a 'drop in and work' component existing on it on, thus the RO calls and such are inside it. DK On 3/22/07, maury.sword [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In

Kenny, No problem. I haven't used Cairngorm. I'm working in an environment where we have 30,000+ CF pages and 1000+ Flex 1.5 files. We've been using CF since the Allaire days. I'm currently finishing up the migration of my Flex 1.5 code to Flex 2. We have several applications that

Douglas, If I remember it correctly, in daoFlex you can specify customization method/class. It causes 2 things: 1. Adds optional String parameter to the signature - usually xml or pipe separated information for query by example type of modifications to your employee query. 2. Transfers original

Maury, Please take a look @ the subchapter on resources (somewhere close to the end of chapter 8 - did not get my copy of the book with real page numbers yet). Basically it talks about moving destination part along with key columns and some other properties into separate class - there you can
