ColdBox - Refactoring the Application Template

Posted on June 28, 2010 in ColdBox

In my time of developing web applications, one of my preferences is that the only files under the web root should be web accessible files. With the addition of application specific mappings in ColdFusion, this has become even easier as you can use standard mappings for frameworks without running into collisions between applications. Over the years, I have come up with a fairly standardized application folder structure for Fusebox, Mach-II, and Model-Glue based applications. I recently decided to give ColdBox a spin and one of the first things I had to do was refactor the default template application to move everything that does not need to be directly web accessible out of the web root.
