The use case that brought this up was we had a new version of an app to
deploy, and the only change was that some of the constants in a bean had
changed. These are stored as static bean properties to keep performance up.
Write a script that gets hold of the bean from ColdSpring and updates
it, for example:
oldBean = csFactory.getBean("constantsBean");
newBean = createObject("component","constantsBean");
for (x in oldBean) oldBean[x] = newBean[x];
That would replace all of the public data and methods in the
ColdSpring-managed bean with the matching public data and methods from
the newly updated bean.
If stuff's in variables scope inside the bean, just inject a method to
let you rewrite the data (and remove the method afterward).
(And I didn't even bring up the wisdom of updating a running system by
applying partial code changes!)
