Hi All,
I am experimenting with the data access pattern Sean Corfield provided in
the Designing Models section of the Mach-ii development guide
(articlemanager.cfc, article.cfc, articledao.cfc and articlegateway.cfc). I
have build a small Flash remoting app and tried to use all four of these
components. I am just interested in the data access pattern Sean suggested
and did not want to use the mach-ii framework. Because I am not using the
mach-ii framework the articleGateway and articleDao objects - see code
snippet from the articlemanager below - are not automatically created as
part of the framework setup. There is no Mach-ii framework in my case.
<cfcomponent extends="MachII.framework.Listener" displayname="Article
Manager" hint="I am the primary listener for the Active Content Resources
application">
<cffunction name="configure" access="public" returntype="void"
output="false" displayname="Listener 'Constructor'" hint="I initialize this
listener as part of the framework startup.">
<cfset var dsn = getParameter("dsn") />
<cfset var schema = getParameter("schema") />
<cfset variables.articleGateway =
createObject("component","acr.model.articlegateway").init(dsn,schema) />
<cfset variables.articleDAO =
createObject("component","acr.model.articledao").init(dsn,schema) />
<cfset variables.recentDays = getParameter("recentDays",7)
/>
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="getAllArticles" access="public" returntype="query"
output="false" displayname="Get All Articles" hint="I return a query
containing all of the published articles.">
<cfreturn variables.articleGateway.findAll() />
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
What is the best way to do this configuration without using the mach-ii
framework? Calling the configure method from the Flash application through
Flash Remoting? Use a separate CFC for all initialization? Use XML for
registering dsn and schema variables? Does anyone of you have some
"minimal-maintenance-oriented/best practice" sample code that does this job
in an elegant way. I really like the idea behind Sean's pattern but I am not
sure how to efficiently adapt it to a non-mach-ii scenario.
Thanks a lot.
Vinny
