[coldspring-dev] machii plugin - placeFactoryInApplicationScope

[Chris Scott]

Yo mark, that is definitely something we keep meaning to get around to, but for some reason or another it keeps getting back burnered.  Be looking for your patch!

We have multiple machii applications within our system, all sitting under the same Application.cfc, and they all use the same ColdSpring file. I had assumed that if we set placeFactoryInApplicationScope=true on all our machii applications, they would check to see if ColdSpring was already loaded in the application, and if it was, simply pick up the beanfactory that was already stored in the application scope, and use that. Instead it seems to load a new CS beanfactory, and overwrites the one in the application scope. Is this the way it is meant to be? The other option we have it setting a parentBeanFactory in the application scope, in the application.cfc and setting it as the parent bean factory, and having each machii application point to an empty coldspring XML config file, which seems to be a bit of a workaround. I can see that there are hooks in place in the BeanFactoryUtils.cfc to check for the existence of named factories, and the functionality simply becomes a check to see if placeFactoryInApplicationScope is true, and if the bfUtils.namedFactoryExists(), then get the namedFactory from the bfUtils and set it to the loca version. So.. is this something rediculous, or just something we just haven't talked about before? Mark --  E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] W: www.compoundtheory.com
