Coldfusion Design Patterns

Using Composite pattern in Coldfusion

November 19th, 2007

Brendan O’Hare has written an excellent article explaining the Composite Design Pattern and its implementation in ColdFusion by using CFC (ColdFusion Components)

“As ColdFusion developers, we tend to build applications based on pages that display information and queries to retrieve information and save information. We tend to think solely of how we are going to implement the code required to perform a certain function. Many times we are not able to consider the commonality of a certain problem and whether an already established design exists somewhere.

Often we are not able to set aside time to do this research. Knowing and utilizing design patterns allows us to think in a common language, with an ever-expanding library of well thought out solutions to consider when architecting an application. Recognition of these patterns in our everyday jobs can make us significantly more productive and seem even smarter than we are.”
