Re: [CFCDev] component extends object with relative path

[Lucian COZMA]

Thanks, It's the first real answer I got so far. I must really suck at asking the right questions ;o) I'll give it a go, but it still looks like I'm going to have to add the mapping "MyMapping" in the admin. Or am I missing something ?   Lucian ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeffry Houser To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 2004 3:10 PM Subject: Re: [CFCDev] component extends object with relative path At 02:38 AM 5/26/2004, you wrote:  >>> however there's a big difference between setting an >>> "extends" attribute as a variable and setting it as a relative path   I couldn't of said it better myself.

But the question is: is there a way around it ?  One way is to keep all CFCs in the same directory as a package.  The first place CF looks to find a CFC is in the package.  No relative pathing needed.    Cand you at least set mappings dynamically ? Can it be done or you're stuck with the admin ?   Sort of.  You can hard code "MyMapping.object"  in the extends attribute or when creating a component instance.  And on any given CF server you can create a CF Mapping called "MyMapping" to point anywhere you want.    In my development, when components reference components they have been a part of a package so I don't have to worry about directory levels.   When code creates a component, it refers to a mapping directory.      Both are easily portable from one server to another.    -- Jeffry Houser, Web Developer, Writer, Songwriter, Recording Engineer <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- AIM: Reboog711  | Phone: 1-203-379-0773 -- My Books: <http://www.instantcoldfusion.com> Recording Music: <http://www.fcfstudios.com> Original Energetic Acoustic Rock: <http://www.farcryfly.com>
