ColdFusion Open-Source Update - September 4
Posted on Sep 04, 2006
Quite a bit of discussion this week regarding projects like Transfer and Mach ii, however not a lot of updates this week (and no new projects...for the first time in a while I think).Transfer
The Other ORM
Sean Corfield discusses how he has recently reexamined Mark Mandel's Transfer ORM and has been impressed by what he has seen. Though Transfer has taken a bit of a back-seat in terms of buzz, Sean discusses how some people may want to take another look (or a first look) at Transfer, particularly if you don't like the ActiveRecord pattern. Along those lines, Sean later discusses community interest in modifying the Model-Glue ORM adapter to work with Transfer.
Mach ii
Application.cfc Support
Peter discusses the new feature that snuck into the 1.1.1 maintenance update, which is support for Application.cfc. This hasn't been updated in the documentation yet, but Peter shows how to to it in the What's New in Mach ii Presentation Recording. 1.1.1 is currently still in beta 1, but has been stable and relatively bug free so far.
BlogCFC
Flex 2 Front End for BlogCFC Ray Camden, with Mike Nimer's help, has written a Flex UI for BlogCFC. He will be discussing his experience in an article for Adobe.com that comes out soon.
REST Adapter
Test Cases
Responding to user requests, Sean Corfield provides some "real world" test cases (for cfcUnit) of the component. The post then goes on to discuss the "anemic domain model" and testable software.
AsyncHTTP
