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

[Jared Rypka-Hauer]

Wrong. Absolutely 100% completely wrong. Your statement about this not working in a shared environment is 180º opposed to the facts. This WILL work in a shared environment, without a mapping. Put /Reactor/ with all it's subdirectories under the webroot of the site. And if you use a mapping, any site can use the code. "reactor.config.config" is not the XML file, it's a CFC that contains the XML file's data for that instance of ReactorFactory. You can do this: <cfset Reactor1 = CreateObject("Component","reactor.reactorFactory").init("/cfcs/Reactor1.xml") /> <cfset Reactor2 = CreateObject("Component","reactor.reactorFactory").init("/cfcs/Reactor2.xml") /> <cfset Reactor3 = CreateObject("Component","reactor.reactorFactory").init("/cfcs/Reactor3.xml") /> At that point you'd have 3 instances of the ReactorFactory for 3 different XML files. The CONFIG IS A CONTAINER, NOT THE CONFIG ITSELF. It is a CFC, not the XML file. I'm not sure why you have become insistent that Reactor is flawed for shared hosting, but were that the case then the situations where it is BEING USED TODAY IN SHARED ENVIRONMENTS would not be possible. You may be having problems and frustrations, but you're drawing incorrect conclusions. Laterz, J ------------------------------------------------ Jared C.

The fact that it wont work  in a shared hosting environment is borne out by Matt WIlliams, who in effect agrees with me.    In order for it to work in a shared environment,   you have to either have a mapping called "reactor", in which case only one site on the whole server can use reactor (and on a shared server there could  be scores of sites), or else you have to go through and change the reactor code, for every site that uses it, every time there is a change in the reactor code. Had I known this at the outset, or if João had not said TWICE that reactor in a shared hosting environment was possible, I'd have finished my job by now and be off to bed, like the rest of my family.
