coldspring

ColdSpring is an inversion-of-control framework/container for CFCs (ColdFusion Components). Inversion of Control, or IoC, is synonymous with Dependency Injection, or DI. A dependency is when one piece of a program depends on another to get its job done.

The following section will provide you 2 code formats, one 'app-normal' showing the standard way of doing coldfusion program and the other 'app-cs' which shows code using coldspring framework.


   app-normal code                         app-cs code

The following will walk you thru the process of converting your normal coldfusion code to coldspring framewok. I have highlighted the code differences. For more information on coldspring, please go to coldspringframework.org
