This question is for the Smith project admins:

I've built <cfschedule>, and now I'm wanting to put the screens in the admin panel for it. However, I've discovered that they use a special servlet and they are written in JSP. Is there any way to make it so I can code either JSP or CFML for the admin templates? I'd rather be building them in CFML than JSP.

Thanks,

Hi Calphool,

the current version of Smith administration is implemented in JSP as there was no support for accessing java objects when the development started. Smith administration depends on java objects which perform various tasks, so I'm not sure if you'll (at the moment) be able to access everything you need from cfml. You would also need to check whether access to Smith admin is allowed (param passed to Admin servlet via web.xml), and to check session attribute, to see if admin is logged in.

It would be really nice if we could reimplement Smith admin completely in cfml, but that's not a small task. Maybe, for the sake of consistency, it would be good to make it in jsp for now. It should not be too hard... you could duplicate quite a lot from the existing pages.
