I just wanted to welcome everyone to the discussion list and set some expectations. The core dev team is interested in hearing everyone's thoughts on the ...
A feature that would be nice is the ability to declare and instantiate objects using <class> and <instantiate> with the ability to lock this process if the...
I'd like to see some steps toward backward compatability with Fusebox 3. I still use FB3, in part because I have a site with over 200 FB3 circuits. In order to...
how about if we were to sub-task a volunteer to produce a quasi-converter stand-alone app for the FB3 apps, rather than building something into the core? ... ...
Do you mean an app that takes FB3 code and spits out FB5 code? I don't think that's possible, or even desirable. Patrick ... -- Patrick McElhaney 704.560.9117 ...
We have FB3 apps and on the whole we take the view that since they 'aint broke' ..... i.e. leave them running happily as FB3. We write new stuff in FB4. there...
yeah Mike that's a good pointer and that's what I would do, cuz you can always just produce a non-FB-MVC app with such a convertor and then adapt from there. ...
... That's what I've been doing. That's what I'd like to continue doing. ... I'd like to have that as an option. But I can't add FB4 circuits to my existing...
... challenging "enhancements" ... I would have thought that adding the ability to parse FB3 natively would be a pretty effective way of adding bloat to the...
... I've been through seven versions of ColdFusion. I've never had to rewrite an application to move up to the next version and take advantage of new features....
Hi, Someone mentioned that, in using CFCs to code the framework, we'll be leaving the CF5 guys behind. Am I right in assuming that the framework will be...
... That's because MM ensured backwards compatibility. I think it is a lot to ask of the FB Farameworkers to ensure FBx is backwards compatible to FBy. Just my...
... I knew that was coming. :) It depends whether you file it under feature request or bug fix. Regardless, if I'm the only one who wants it, it's bloat. ...
What new features of CF can you not leverage from an FB 3 application? Or is he talking about new features in the core file? What would those be? _____ From:...
One problem with a lock=true/false is that there's no specification of what to lock, or how tightly. I.e. is it exclusive or read only? You want to lock a...
The conversion tool has its limitations (would not convert a large site we tried it on) but I thought it was worth a try! Maybe someone could look at this (as...
Just thinking aloud.... Would it be possible / worthwhile to implement the core files in Java? The objective being to have the ability to use the same core...
You can write a very simple DO UDF or custom tag that acts much the same as the DO verb in FB4.x. Remove all your fbx_Layouts and fbx_Settings (except for...
... CFMX 6.1 is the target release. It will not run on CFMX 6.0 (which, frankly, no one should be running). It will not require CFMX 7. There may be *optional*...
I would say the XML does implement the application - it is not just 'fusedocs', circuit.xml and fusebox.xml cause cf code to be generated and executed. However...
... Balancing 100% backward compatibility against a major architecture improvement or a key new feature is tricky. FB41 wasn't quite 100% compatible with FB4...
Part of FB is it's zero-config install, and from talking with Sean, that's going to continue to be an important facet of the framework (and I'm glad of it)....
... Interesting idea! I certainly want to clean up some of the CFC support and this might fall into that area. No promises but I'll put this in the "CFC...
... No. Think this one thru and it should be obvious why... :) Sean A Corfield An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "I have always wished that my...
... I agree. I think one of the main reasons to adopt a framework is stability. When I write code in a public framework, I want to know that there's thousands...
... Java? ... Err..... no, give up. It would need a CF / JSP default page to call the framework. And it would need to read the scriptLanguage parameter to...
Actually, I meant that the other way. ;) That the lack of backwards compatibiilty as a focus wasn't a bad thing. Backwards compatibility is great, but it's...
... I don't see how that is possible from a technical point of view (but I'm open to proposals - see below). There are several FB3 features that simply went...
... If you make the "run a fuseaction" module abstract, you could run two implementations, one for FB3 circuits and one for FB4+ circuits. So when you need to...
