that
there are settings for coldbox structure conventions, but it looks like they are
per the coldbox installation, not per the application. I'm curious if it is
possible to change structure conventions on a per application basis?

Has
anyone tried/figured this out?

Thanks,
Andrew

Andrew,

I place the coldbox folder in the app root for every app (this makes the apps usable in environments where app mappings are not available). Then I change the folder conventions in /coldbox/system/config/settings.xml

Personally, I change every app to use “controllers” instead of “handlers.” That gives me a “model” directory, “views” directory and “controllers” directory which is logical given that it is an MVC framework.
