Oh man! a BIG GOTCHA for this is to remember to have ColdFusion's debugging turned off, otherwise that debug info creeps into your remote view files and just breaks any Javascript execution in them...

I am presently converting an application I build using my own framework to cfwheel. My first challenge is the lack of explicit support for Sybase, but i seem to have overcome that - i had to use a work around with the MS SQL Server Adapter since i could not get any help on the issue.

However, i observe that the following global functions (model, get & set) are not available on my own OOP classes. i created a gateway folder directly on  the app_root and i have an empty application.cfc in it. The application just throws an error "Variable MODEL is undefined"; i have tried to comment/delet the application.cfc file, but i still get the same error.

Since this functions are available on controllers, i figured i dumped the wheels.cfc that is on the controller package directly on my gateway folder, but that still didn't do the trick.

I figure the issue has to do with the order of including files. But i dont know how exactly to go around it; but i do think global functions should indeed be global and there should be a way to tell the framework you want all the good juice in a certain folder without it fiddling with the request handling for the folder contents.

Has anyone got an idea?

Nice work btw... it's been inspiring...

Hello,

I am ready to embark on Wheels, I use Flex for client, I'm hoping to find enough Flash Remoting, to be able to get on Wheels. It already sounds great to me, I can't wait. Well, I'll let you know.

It would be great if there were some useful documentation for these functions. Phrases like "The variable name of the object to build the form control for." tell me absolutely nothing in terms of computer science.

Claude sorry but you are completly wrong!

I have mad Tomcat config using urlrewrite http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/ and with that xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE urlrewrite PUBLIC "-//tuckey.org//DTD UrlRewrite 2.6//EN"
        "http://tuckey.org/res/dtds/urlrewrite2.6.dtd">

Now i've got problem beacuse wheels don't want to rewrite the URLs properly. they are giving links with partial rewrite but I have forced that on the settings file

Claude is mistaken.  It is possible to have url rewriting with just the application server (Tomcat, Resin, JRun).  Jrun is the built in Adobe CF application server. http://www.henke.ws/post.cfm/jrun-url-rewriting

hi,
the problem is solved by append a few lines of character setting in my.ini, please ignore last comment above.

hi,
what is restful routing? do you guys like to add boolean valued attributes to addroute(), like 'required-login' and 'role-is-granted'?

For those of you asking if rewrite is possible without a front-end server like Apache or IIS the answer is no.

I just setup cfwheels 1.0.4 on Mac OSX with Apache 2.2.14. I use virtual hosts in order to develop multiple sites at once, here is my config:

<code class="block">
<VirtualHost *:80>

  ServerAdmin cbetancourt@gmail.com
  DocumentRoot "/Users/myaccount/Documents/WHEELS_TEST"
  ServerName wheelstest.com
  ErrorLog "/private/var/log/apache2/wheels-test-error.log"
  CustomLog "/private/var/log/apache2/wheels-test-access.log" common

  <Directory "/">

    Options +FollowSymLinks

    <IfModule dir_module>
      DirectoryIndex index.cfm
    </IfModule>

    # BEGIN Wheels redirect
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
      RewriteEngine On
      RewriteBase /
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
      RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./rewrite.cfm/$1 [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END Wheels redirect

  </Directory>

</VirtualHost>
</code>

Notice I've replaced the RewriteCond provided (in .htaccess) with the framework to one that redirects only when the file or directory requested doesn't exist.

You should drop any host that doesn't support createObject() or similar methods as you'll be limiting your ability to write decent/efficient OO CFML.
