Last night I had a little time on my hands and decided to start a project I'd had on the backburner for a while (hint, hint). While setting up Coldbox, I wondered: Why not use application-specific mappings to reference the right framework versions? You might remember I had made a (short) series on refactoring Coldbox, Coldspring and Transfer for this exact reason. However, reading the Jedi's Transfer adventures made me realize that being on ColdFusion 8 meant that I could have these specific mappings, rather than refactoring the frameworks. I ran into an issue or two, however, and here's how I got rid of them.

Last week, I showed you how I had setup my register method in my project. After a couple of comments, I realized I had tied my service layer too tightly with my MVC framework (ColdBox), by passing in the entire event object, rather than just the data that I needed. Today, I explore a different way of doing things, while also making a couple of little changes to the way the handlers are setup.

I've been stuck reinstalling Eclipse and friends (read plugins) for the last hour or so, so I figured I might as well read up on my backblogs (you never know, that word just might stick). If you haven't seen it, Jason's been writing up a really neat series on Coldbox and Coldspring. He's taking a different approach than I am, which is great since you get to have different point of views.

Yeah, yeah, I forgot the links. They're in now.
