First off, I know my design is SHOT AWAY I'm looking into this ... I'm thinking a re-design! I've also been busy with the cfCommerce project as you've probably seen and as the blog isn't aggregated yet I'm still going to talk about it here, you've been warned :) So check it out on Twitter/cfcommerce, view the new alpha site which will eventually hold nightly builds, and read the blog. Enjoy!

I am in the middle of getting a skeleton app ready for the cfCommerce project which means there is some noise back in the groups.

If you are still interested in the project or its direction then please look into the mailing at http://groups.google.com/group/cfcommerce and post your thoughts.

ColdSpring is just indispensable when developing any size app but as a part of its Inversion of Control, or IoC it does a lot more. When developing a project with a framework I usually have a need to have remote access to my model. One of the usual methods is to still go through the framework itself. The reason is that you've got ColdSpring (in most cases) handling all the injections and its just easier to keep it one place. For me I prefer to use a single service layer component which can access the model and this is where CS fits in.

CS can create remote facades which exposes any remote methods(access="remote") you have in a component.

What I am going to explain over a couple of posts is a technique that I am looking at implement in project thats slowly being worked on

I am assuming if you've made it this far you know CS so I'm going to jump straight in. If you don't, I know a good place to start. First of the directory structure for this guide.

• web root
  • remote_cs
    • com
      • users
    • config

In the config folder we're going to place our ColdSpring.xml configuration file which at the moment looks like this with reference to one bean:

Another Friday and another week without posts but another week closer to the wedding. You'll be glad to know that I do have some posts coming up which are CF/ColdSpring/jQuery based and loosely connected to the cfcommerce which I am slowly getting back into. Enjoy!

A while back Nick Tong started a project called cfCommerce which saw a lot of activity at the start. Recently though there has been none, or little activity which has prompted some question to the mailing list about the validity of the project.
