Just wanted to let the group know that a new CFWheels site was
launched today.

Amtrak Guest Rewards - http://www.AmtrakGuestRewards.com

If you live on the US East Coast you probably know about Amtrak and
its rewards program. Well, it has been relaunched.

Some technology involved:
* CF on Wheels (of course) ver. 1.0.5
* Web Service Models & CFWheels DB Models
* Java web services
* MSSQL 2008 databases
* Load balanced

Check out the site and let our team know what you think.

We built a demo of the site in about 2 weeks, but the actual site with
all of the backend Java webservices and such, took 6 months. Most of
the development was around figuring out how to use Wheels form
validation and built-in methods with a web services model. I wasn't on
the main team, but have been involved with development off and on.
Another member of the team, Martin Tschofen (martin is his nickname
here) has been one of the main developers, and hopefully he'll add
some notes about the development.

Glad everyone likes the site. Also to note, there is a Wheels site
embedded in inside the main site. The AGR for Business is another
Wheels site in a sub-directory and both sites use common Web service
models and other scripts.
