ColdFusion Administrator settings are server wide. And users have long asked for more granular settings, ideally per application. A thread on cf-talk today discussed per application mappings, but there is actually more to it than that. What about debug settings? Log file paths? Default SMTP server? There are lots of settings that are server-wide right now (unless you are running multiple instances, in which case they are instance wide).
So, if ColdFusion were to support per application settings (which, if present, would override the default CF Admin settings), how would you expect to define them?
- <cfapplication> tag attributes
- <cfsetting>
- A new tag
- Application.cfc THIS members
- Or ...
What do you think?
Look at the latest ColdFusion news stories picked up by Google News. Mac OSX support has attracted lots of attention. If you know of any production sites running ColdFusion on OSX, please let me know.
