I have a Mach-II question .. so all you Mach-II experts gather round .. In my application I want to dynamically set a couple of datasources, which are coming into the application as form variables from a "launcher" type page. The reason for this is so that datasources can be programatically changed based on which environment we are in. I don't want to use the appConstants plugin that already exists, in fact I don't want to use a plugin for this at all, as currently the data is stored in server variables which I don't want the app to have to be aware of .. would just be so much easier if they could be passed in.
I decided the best place to store this information would be in the propertyManager. This should be easy using setProperty() to accomplish. For some reason, however, I am unable to do this. I have tried implementing this as a filter, which returns true if the 2 form variables have been supplied, and uses setProperty() to stick them in the propertyManager so that I can reference them later. The trouble is that within the filter things seem to be fine. When I dump getProperties() before returning I see my new properties all happy in the propertyManager as they should be. But when I attempt to retrieve those properties with getProperty() from a listener later on, they are gone. I dumped getProperties() from my listener and the properties are not there .. only the ones defined in the mach-ii.xml exist anymore. Does anybody know what I am doing wrong? I am guessing it has something to do with the context or something. In the past I have directly interacted with the aforementioned server variables in a plugin, which has worked fine, but that is not the approach I want to take this time. This application is session aware so another option is to store them in my SessionManager listener that I've created but I'd prefer to store them in the propertyManager instead.
