Hollywood is a powerfull, simple to implement MVC framework for
ColdFusion MX. Implementing advanced features of ColdFusion MX,
Hollywood allows developers to leverage all of the benefits of a
model-view-controller framework to rapidly build and deploy
professional web applications that are easy to maintain.
Mission
What is the goal of this project?
Hollywood's goal is to provide an unobtrusive framework for developing
ColdFusion applications using the Model View Controller pattern. It
borrows concepts such as Inversion of Control.
What's with the name Hollywood?
The Inversion of Control pattern suggests the decoupling of components
in such a way that dependancies are injected into calling components.
It follows the "Hollywood Principle" of "don't call us, we'll call
you." Thus, rather than your code
In the case of our Hollywood project, the decoupling of project
artifacts is accomplished in two ways. First the view is agnostic
to the model. Any data or component view needs is provided to the
view. Second, calls to components in the system is abstracted to
a registry gateway.
What is the scope of this project?
- Provide an MVC framework to ColdFusion developers that is easy to understand and simple to implement
- Continue to innovate MVC patters and practices for ColdFusion developers
- Provide a sound alternative to the complex Mach-II framework
