Getting Started with Groovy, Spring, Hibernate and More with ColdFusion
The Alagad battleship is turning. For years now we have followed more or less the same process for developing applications. Namely, we’ve made use of now-traditional ColdFusion frameworks such as Model-Glue, ColdSpring, and Reactor. We’ve played around with various alternative frameworks and techniques, but essentially, this is what we’ve done for several years now. And through those years of experience we’ve learned a few valuable lessons. For example, I’ve learned it’s a heck of a lot easier to not manage your own requests and let Model-Glue do that. I’ve learned the beauty that is Inversion Of Control. And, sadly, I’ve learned that ColdFusion Components are really, really, heavy. Over the least few years we’ve had a number of applications we’ve created which, to me, never felt as performant as I felt they should. Granted, tuning ColdFusion and JRun makes a big difference, but more and more we’ve had to apply techniques to work around ColdFusion’s shortcomings in this respect.
