Re: [Reactor For CF] Problems with configuring reactor for shared environment

[Jared Rypka-Hauer]

Mike... I'll take a stab at reiterating here... YOU DO NOT NEED A MAPPING UNLESS YOU'RE SHARING CODE ACROSS SITES. Mappings are server-wide, so any site connected to the server will see the same thing at /Reactor if you have a Reactor mapping. If you don't have a mapping, you need a copy of Reactor in the root of each site (which, for me in a shared environment, is far preferable, because it allows your clients to run with/without it and run different versions of it). If you don't have a mapping to Reactor, CF looks in the document root for that website for a folder called Reactor. And, furthermore, your call to create the ReactorFactory was just plain wrong. Instead of this (which you had): <cfset Reactor = CreateObject("Component","reactor.reactorFactory").init(expandPath("cfcs\Reactor.xml")) /> What you SHOULD HAVE HAD was this: <cfset Reactor = CreateObject("Component","reactor.reactorFactory").init("/cfcs/Reactor.xml") /> That tells CF that your component is off the webroot in a folder called Reactor and that your XML file is off the root in a folder called cfcs. And, I'm gonna say this one more time: Sean's using this in a shared environment. I'm using this in a shared environment. Doug's tested this in a simulation of a shared environment, and you getting all agitated and rude and huffy about it doesn't encourage anyone to be terribly helpful. So... my suggestion is that you test the example I have above by removing any mappings, dropping Reactor into the webroot of testsite, and creating c:\inetpub\wwwroot\testsite\index.cfm with the following code: <cfset Reactor = CreateObject("Component","reactor.reactorFactory").init("/cfcs/Reactor.xml") /> <cfdump var="#Reactor#" /> That should give you what you are looking for.
