Coldspring appears to try to call every setter in a bean regardless of whether you pass a property to the configuration. The error is harmless, but annoying.
Unfortunately, it's no longer harmless. While the exception did -- and still does -- result in a harmless debugging message on my development server, I have now migrated the application to a test environment. There the exception creates a Java NULL Pointer exception. I haven't been able to determine why the two machines are acting differently yet. But it's a real problem.
Perhaps if someone has an idea why the NULL Pointer exception is being generated on that one machine, that would be acceptable. I don't really mind the exception, as long as it's benign.

Subject: [coldspring-dev] property not found for Reactor
Hi,
I posted this yesterday on the Reactor list, but have had no responses. And since I'm using ColdSpring along with Reactor and Model-Glue, I thought perhaps someone on this list might be able to help. I can't tell whether the issue involves Reactor, CS or just me.
Here's the original post:
I am receiving the error in the subject line: "property requested does not exist for bean: reactorFactory," in my sample application. I've tried to trace it back through the various components (this is MG/CS/Reactor), and I can't really find what's failing -- especially since Reactor seems to work properly, even after the error is displayed.
According to debugging output, the error is coming when objectFactory.cfc is attempting to generate or return the database-specific components. The requested property is "objectFactory."
On my Dev server, the exception, while reported, is ignored and everything seems to run fine -- components are autowired, Reactor returns the correct data. On another server, the exception turns into a Null Pointer exception and stops everything.
The error occurs on every request to the application (all settings are for "development").
My MG config includes:
<setting name="beanMappings" value="/lpsdocs/config/beans/lpsdocs.xml" />
<setting name="beanFactoryLoader" value="ModelGlue.Core.ColdSpringLoader" />
<setting name="autowireControllers" value="true" />
The CS config file is:
<beans>
<bean id="reactorFactory" class="reactor.reactorFactory">
<constructor-arg name="configuration">
<value>/lpsdocs/config/Reactor.xml</value>
</constructor-arg>
</bean>
<bean id="CategoryGateway" factory-bean="reactorFactory" factory-method="createGateway">
<constructor-arg name="objectAlias">
<value>Category</value>
</constructor-arg>
</bean>
<bean id="DocumentGateway" factory-bean="reactorFactory" factory-method="createGateway">
<constructor-arg name="objectAlias">
<value>Document</value>
</constructor-arg>
</bean>
<bean id="documentController" class=" lpsdocs.controller.documentController">
<!-- <constructor-arg name="utils">
<ref bean="utils" />
</constructor-arg>-->
</bean>
<bean id="utils" class="lpsdocs.model.utils">
</bean>
</beans>
And the Reactor config is:
<reactor>
<config>
<project value="LPSDocs" />
<dsn value="lpwebdocs" />
<type value="mssql" />
<mapping value="/lpsDocs/model/LPDocsReactorData" />
<mode value="development" />
</config>
<objects>
<object name="tblLPWebDocs_Documents" alias="Document" >
<field name="document_i_id" alias="documentID" />
<field name="document_v_title" alias="title" />
<field name="document_v_description" alias="description" />
<field name="document_i_category_id" alias="categoryID" />
<field name="document_v_link" alias="link" />
<field name="document_i_sortNo" alias="sort" />
<field name="document_b_isExternal" alias="isExternal" />
<field name="document_b_isPublic" alias="isPublic" />
<field name="document_b_isVideo" alias="isVideo" />
<field name="document_d_changedate" alias="changeDate" />
<field name="document_i_changeuser_id" alias="changeUserID" />
<field name="document_d_displaydate" alias="displayDate" />
<field name="document_v_filename" alias="fileName" />
<field name="document_b_inactive" alias="inactive" />
<hasOne name="Category">
<relate from="categoryID" to="categoryID" />
</hasOne>
</object>
<object name="tblLPWebDocs_Categories" alias="Category" >
<field name="category_i_id" alias="CategoryID" />
<field name="category_parent_i_id" alias="ParentID" />
<field name="category_v_desc" alias="catDescription" />
<field name="category_d_changedate" alias="catChangeDate" />
<field name="category_i_changeuser_id" alias="catChangeUserID" />
<field name="category_i_sortNo" alias="catSort" />
<hasMany name="Document">
<relate from="categoryID" to="categoryID" />
</hasMany>
</object>
</objects>
</reactor>
Has anyone seen a similar problem, or do you see an error in my setup? Thanks for any suggestions.
