Back in 2009 while looking into the possibility of what ColdFusion ORM could bring to the table, I started to look at projects I had on the go and looked at how I could convert some of these over to using the new Entities. One of these projects was a forum based application that was using nested lists, so I looked at how other languages that had ORM where achieving this.
The article that I found (Nested Set Implementation) to be the easiest explanation that would work, would not work in ColdFusion as it is. Not to be determined to not get this too work, I set out to see how far I could get and get it working. The result of this is the following Blog Post ColdFusion and ColdBox creating and using Nested Sets with ORM, but one of the things that it has a problem with is flushing of Entities.
