< CFcoffee />

This morning I had sometime on my hands to revisit how I had setup ColdBox M5 using refactoring. Following a comment by Jason Dean, who suggested it would be much easier to use application specific mappings with CF8+. So I decided to give it another ago.

When I first tried this I got an error due to Application.cfc extending the framework. As another comment pointed out ColdBox apparently since version 2.6 comes with a no inheritance version that instead of extending the framework bootstraps it. This would allow me declare my mapping before the framework is initialised.

This is why I love the medium I choose to express myself in and the CF community, because they are so helpful.
