[coldspring-dev] Advice: Using Reactor Framework

[Scott Arbeitman]

How does do a proper unit test on a service if it depends on the reactor factory? Seems easier to use regular DAO's which return dummy data. I'm thinking to inject the reactor factory into DAOs, and inject the DAOs into services. But this doesn't feel right because Reactor generates it's own DAO's. But this depends on the transfer objects, so I don't think these objects are designed to be consumed outside the framework. -- Scott On 28/10/2006, at 9:56 AM, Qasim Rasheed wrote: Ben, Is there a reason that you inject directly into the service object. Recently, I was in a similar situation and decided for just passing the reactorFactory to the Service Objects. AFAIK, reactor with-in itself caches all the objects so calling one Gateway from several service CFC will always return the same instance. Is this a correct assetion?

You can always replace the reactor factory with another factory object if you pull reactor out, and have that generate your DAO, and TO objects.   The gateways I inject directly into the service object.   From: coldspring-dev@coldspringframework.org [mailto:coldspring-dev@coldspringframework.org] On Behalf Of Kurt Wiersma Sent: Friday, October 27, 2006 1:18 PM To: coldspring-dev@coldspringframework.org Subject: [coldspring-dev] Advice: Using Reactor Framework   I have run into this situation already have found it easiest to have CS inject the reactorFactory into my service layer. In the service layer it then uses the reactor factory to grab the gateways an record objects it needs. I can post a sample if anyone is interested. --Kurt On 10/27/06, Clint Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: This is an interesting question.  And a good forum for this follow on question: how would you use ColdSpring to inject other objects into Reactor-created ones--such as injecting a shopping cart into a user record that is created by Reactor? I think there are some interesting opportunities for more integration between Reactor and ColdSpring (probably from the Reactor side, correct?) What are the best practices?  Well worded, Scott.
