[coldspring-dev] hair puller

[Chris Scott]

That could maybe get you somewhere, but ColdSpring should definitely create your productController, whether you use contructor-arg or setters. One question, these are ModelGlue controllers? Hm, wonder, maybe MG is doing something with those controllers that is messing with the type. Wait, brain working. Can you post the init method of your productcontroller? It probably extends ModelGlue.Core.Controller and that's the return type of your init, right? So that also needs to be the type of your constructor-arg: Init method of WizardController:      <CFFUNCTION name="init" returntype="controller.wizardcontroller" output="false" access="public">         <cfargument name="PController" type="ModelGlue.Core.Controller" required="true" hint="Dependency product controller"/>                 <cfset variables.prodcontroller = arguments.PController/>                     <CFRETURN this />     </CFFUNCTION>  Chris Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://cdscott.blogspot.com/ http://www.coldspringframework.org/ On Jul 14, 2006, at 6:54 PM, Simeon Bateman wrote: Well I dont know why that is giving you trouble.  As a troubleshooting step I would say make the type on the arguement "any" and then send yourself a dump of arguments to see what type it is.  My guess is that the other controller has not be constructed yet so it can not be supplied as a dependency. 2 possible solutions come to mind.  The first is to not use a constructor-arg just use a property and have a setProductControler method in the controller.  I think you will have better luck of the object being constructed at the right time that way. The other path might be to just use modelglue.getBean("productControler") in your init to ask the beanfactory for the object. Maybe somebody else will have a better idea of what the problem is, but HTH. simeon On 7/14/06, Doug Boude <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: This is my first attempt to do any "manual" dependency injection using bean definitions within coldspring.xml, and I just can't get it to work. The scenario: Using MGU, latest code. I have two controllers - ProductController and WizardController, both residing in the "controllers" directory off of the app root. I want to inject, as a constructor argument, ProductController into WizardController. coldspring.xml snippet     <bean id="productcontroller" class="controller.productcontroller" />         <bean id="wizcontroller" class="controller.wizardcontroller ">         <constructor-arg name="PController">             <ref bean="productcontroller" />         </constructor-arg>     </bean> Init method of WizardController:     <CFFUNCTION name="init" returntype="controller.wizardcontroller" output="false" access="public">         <cfargument name="PController" type="controller.productcontroller " required="true" hint="Dependency product controller"/>                <cfset variables.prodcontroller = arguments.PController/>                    <CFRETURN this />     </CFFUNCTION> The Symptoms: I receive the error whenever the wizardcontroller is instantiated: The argument PCONTROLLER passed to function init() is not of type controller.productcontroller. On an interesting side note, if i change the type argument to "Any", i get no error, but the object that gets injected into the PController variable is  ModelGlue.unity.framework.ModelGlue How's THAT for strange! Can anybody see what I'm doing wrong?
