WhosOnCFC in the works
Well, I have started playing around with the newest version of the WhosOn user tracker. WhosOnCFC is a component that is loaded as an application-scoped instanced component and keeps track of all the users on your web site. I am working on the demo application for the release and as soon as I have all the kinks worked out I will have it released to the general public.
I am also waiting to hear back from Rob Gonda. Currently I am using his ObjectFactory CFC which is overkill for a little demo application and I do not want to release it until I have his blessing. I found it in the code for Raymond Camden's Galleon Forums application and since I have started using it I cannot say enough good things about it. You use the ObjectFactory to handle creating your components. If there is not already an instance of a component in memory, it creates it for you. It also helps you handle dependency injection, but that is beyond the scope of this post.
I still have a few rough edges to work out, but overall things look promising.
I have decided to scrap the ObjectFactory stuff for the example application. I am still a supporter of it, but it is just overkill for a demo application. Dan Wilson was also nice enough to point out Lightwire CFC available at http://lightwire.riaforge.org which is a light-weight version of an object factory which also handles dependency injection. It is probably something I will check out in the future.
I will try to get everything wrapped up over the weekend and get a working version out early next week. My thanks goes out to everyone who has helped me out.
