cfObjects is a open-source framework for implementing inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation with CFML. The framework uses advanced ColdFusion features such as exception handling, collections, and the request scope to satisfy many of the requirements.

Combined with Macromedia's ColdFusion Studio which uses VTML wizards, this framework provides developers with a rapid application development environment that is similar to the major J2EE or .NET environments.

With the help of many ColdFusion developers worldwide, the cfObjects application framework has emerged as one of the premier tools used by serious ColdFusion professionals for creating powerful, flexible and scalable Web based applications.
