ColdFusion on Wheels

I've played a bit with Ruby on Rails, but just can't leave my ColdFusion behind, so it was great to see a post on Ben Forta's blog about ColdFusion on Wheels. Rob Cameron announced it on the Cube 6 Media blog today, and I'll definitely be playing with this one over the next few days. My only concern is the need for URL remapping, which I've never dealt with, and will have to find some time to get a handle on, but this is definitely going to be an exciting thing to watch, especially in connection with Joe Rhinhart's recent postings on Arf.

Don't worry about the re-writing stuff Dan, Wheels takes care of it all! You just have to make sure that re-writing is enabled in Apache (see the readme.htm inside /doc for instructions). Let me know how everything works for ya!

Ah, but I'm a Windows geek :). I'll need to do some digging on ISAPI rewriting modules if I want to make this happen. Out of curiosity, what's the purpose of this? Is it something that could be taken care of in Application.cfc using onRequestStart? I'd think you could interrupt the request and force feed the user the page you want...
