Cf Event Manager

Posted by Andrea Campolonghi in CfEventManager , coldfusion , coldspring , railo on June 5, 2009

I have now released a first version of a tool that I am implementing and using since a while.

CfEventManager is exactly what the word say. An EventManager tool for cfml programming.
Some of the features:

  • Very light with a simple API to use/implement.
  • Flexible to allow registering of events / listeners from cfml syntax, xml file and programmatically on runtime.
  • Ability to cache the listeners objects.
  • Use the built in event object or create your own in few easy steps.
  • Ability ti stop event propagation.
  • Order the listeners with a customized priority order.
  • Autowire events object via coldspring by using the Brian Koteks beanInjector class.

On next releases to 1.0:

  • Dispatching of async events.
  • addEventListener based on regex match.

    Please ignore my ignorance on this but how is this different to AOP?

    Nick, the 2 things are quite different also if at first approach can be confusing. In AOP an object is wrapped by the AOP framewrok that can give you the ability to intercept a method and to act without you need to change you original object implementation. But at the and you always call your method directly. An event approach make your obejct being called when something happen in any place of your application. So you do not call directly the subscribed method but the event manager call it for you when the event itself is fired. Does this make sense to you?

    I tried to grab the code from SVN, using TortoiseSVN, and no dice. I used: code.assembla.com/cfEventManager/subversion/nodes as the URL was given. The actual URL to grab from SVN is: subversion.assembla.com/svn/cfEventManager I had to leave off the rest. Your blog thought I was a s-p-a-m-m-e-r.
