You've probably moved on from here, but i was just reading the recent thread on controllers and coldspring (http://groups.google.com/group/ model-glue/browse_thread/thread/4bfdecab6b1ba23f?hl=en#) and thought this might provide a solution for you.
If you define your controllers in a _parent_ coldspring bean factory and then reference the beans in your mg.xml then you can use Brian Koteks DynamicXMLBeanFactory (part of http://coldspringutils.riaforge.org/) to replace the class path with your clients specific path in the parent coldspring.xml <bean id="userController" class="{clientClassPath}.controllers.UserController"> <property name="userService"> <ref bean="userService" /> </property> </bean> in mg.xml <controllers> <controller id="userController" bean="userController"> <message-listener message="getUsers" function="getUsers" /> </controller> </controllers> in Application.cfc <cfset settings = structnew() /> <cfset settings["clientClassPath"] = "customer.foo.com" /> <cfset application.cs = createobject("component", "coldspring.utils.DynamicXMLBeanFactory").init() /> <cfset application.cs.loadBeansFromDynamicXmlFile("/config/ controllers.xml", settings) /> in index.cfm <cfset ModelGlue_PARENT_BEAN_FACTORY = application.cs /> I've not tried this so i might have missed something, but it looks like it should work.
