I have used Fusebox 4 for the last 3 months now and have decided to try Fusebox 5, but one thing that I can't seem to find much documentation on is how to use CFC's in the new framework. I have seen examples of CFC's being used with Fusebox 4.1 (Brian Kotek's bookstore app), but can't seem to find anything that goes into greater detail or has more examples. I would appreciate it if anyone could enlighten me about the subject. Thanks in advance.

The documentation available here at Fusebox.org has details on the changes in Fusebox 5:

Derek, if you haven't found it already, take a look at Sean Corfield's 'Frameworks Comparison' code collection. It contains some very instructive examples for people moving from procedural Fusebox to CFC-based Fusebox. You probably won't be interested in the examples involving Mach-II, Model-Glue, ColdSpring or Tartan, but there will still be at least three Fusebox examples that will be of interest to you.

http://www.corfield.org/articles/frameworks_code.zip

Note that FB 5 is backward comptible with 4.1, so all of these examples, along with any instantiate and invoke statements they contain, will run fine on v5. The same, of course, should apply to all other sample applications which ran on FB4.1.

Thanks for your help guys. I am going through the documentation and examples you gave me right now, so hopefully I will understand it shortly. Thanks again!

I have one more quick question. Can fusebox.init.cfm still be used in Fusebox 5 to create application and server scoped CFC's? The file wasn't in the latest release of the skeleton, and I was just wondering if that was because it wasn't needed in that particular application, or if some other method is now used.

fusebox.init.cfm is not included by default (and if it were, if would be an empty template) and if you wish to use it you will need to create it youself. FB 5 still supports this and its purpose is for per-request configuration and settings. For application-scoped CFC initialization, and anything else you wish to run/set during application start-up (and only during application start-up), use the new fusebox.appinit.cfm template. There is an overview of this here:

You will find plenty of discussion of these templates within the searchable Yahoo Groups Fusebox 5 archives:

fusebox.appinit.cfm/fusebox.init.cfm are being added to the general release of fb5 - with text in them explaining what they are for.
