I love the doc, but I would make a suggestion/addition. I'd like to see a built-in framework restart, and possibly an application restart, via url, possibly something like reinit=1. Yes, I know I can them (I have), but it would be nice to cook it into the framework.

Oops. I posted this. Sorry for not including it.

This one is a slam dunk for me. Great work!

No worries this will be offered via a dashboard module that we're working on. It's listed on our development roadmap: http://www.mach-ii.com/index.cfm/go/code/

This new enhancement has been completed. For bug / questions, please re-open ticket #6.

I was just wondering if the other 4 proposed additions to mach-ii.cfc Boostrapper ever made it in:

1. onApplicationStart 2. onRequestStart 3. onSessionStart 4. onSessionEnd

I would use #1 to create all my application remote proxies from ColdSpring?.

[peterfarrell]

We improved the bootstrapper to have the methods you listed and added two new plugin points in the plugin architecture -- onSessionStart/End. We did not need to all onApplicationStart or onRequestStart to the plugin architecture.

onApplicationStart can be emulated by using the configure() method in a Property.cfc. And onRequestStart is already covered by the preProcess point in plugins.

You can move your remote proxy creation to a Property.cfc instead of housing it in your App.cfc. Also, I'd be interested in what you do for your remote proxy creation as I would be willing to add support in the ColdspringProperty? to define remote proxy creation.

+1 for remote proxy creation in the ColdSpringProperty?.cfc. Currently we have been handling this by getting the remote proxy in the listener's configure method.
