First Impressions of Model-Glue

Posted On October 28, 2005 11:35 AM By Phil in Model-Glue

I've always been a proponent of using Fusebox and really have never looked outside of it when chosing a Framework (outside of brief looks at Mach-ii really early in it's development). Last week I asked Steve Rittler, our esteemed CFUG manager, if he needed help on the Philly CFUG site. The answer, "Yes, have a go at it, let's use model-glue and you can tell everyone how you did it." So, I went to Model-Glue's website, downloaded and ran through the quick start guide. It looks pretty easy to implement. I like the fact that the it really has 4-tiers, one for view, one for the model, one for the controller, and one for application definition. I don't necessarily consider the ModelGlue.xml file to be a controller, I think of the CFCs as the controller. It really enforces the separation of business and presnetation logic, more so than Fusebox does. Now what I need to figure out is how to have an event run on every request, such as for header/footer displays. I'll add more as I work through it and the website.
