Coding: Virtual Service Layer

Last updated 7 years ago

Was this helpful?

Now let's build the same thing but using ColdFusion ORM and our approach, in which we will use a service layer but virtually built by ColdBox. This will most likely give you 80% of what you would ever need, but in case you need to create your own and customize, then you would build a service object that extends or virtual or base layer.
