glue

Adhesive substance resembling gelatin, extracted from animal tissue, particularly hides and bones, or from fish, casein (milk protein), or vegetables. Glue was used as early as 3000 BC in wooden-furniture construction in Egypt. Synthetic resin adhesives such as the epoxies are replacing glue for many uses, but glue is still widely used as an adhesive in woodworking and in certain manufacturing and other industrial processes.

Model-Glue is a pure OO web application framework based on the MVC design pattern. Its goal is to simplify development of OO ColdFusion applications. It is released under the LGPL license.

Model-Glue Is:

• An Implicit Invocation framework simplifying use of the Model View Controller design pattern in ColdFusion applications. It's designed to be easy to use and play well with others, like Tartan.
• Released under the Lesser GPL, meaning that it's free to download, use, and alter.
• A framework encouraging clear separation of Model, View, and Controller
• Lightweight enough to play well with others: it comes with out-of-the-box connectors to Paul Kenney's Tartan Framework.
• Akin to Mach-II, another II, MVC framework, but with slightly simpler functionality.
• Written by Joe Rinehart, a quasi-popular ColdFusion blogger with an interest in developing better OO applications in ColdFusion, with constant feedback provided by Doug Hughes of Alagad, Inc.
