Did you fail to see the working example I sent? Seriously. You're just wasting time now. Move on. I'd rather you not use reactor if you're just going to berate it when in fact it works.
What am I using? CFC 7.0.1 + merimac, reactor, iis 5.1 winxp pro... the same setup as you. It works, you're just doing something wrong.

It was being passed through to the cfc with the correct path. The reactorFactory.cfc isn't recognising the path in the arguments as an object. If I do a CFDUMP of the arguments scope I can see that there is definitely an object called arguments.configuration, with a value of C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\testsite\cfcs\Reactor.xml, yet the statement <cfif NOT IsObject(arguments.configuration)> is evaluating to false, because it's executing the code in the line that follows which is <cfset arguments.configuration = CreateObject("Component", "reactor.config.config").init(arguments.configuration) /> and since there is no mapping called "reactor" and this cfc is already in a folder called "reactor" there is no place underneath the reactorFactory cfc for it to find teh config cfc. When I use the code you quoted, cut and pasted directly off your message, i get the following error: [quote] Could not find the ColdFusion Component reactor.config.config. [/quote] which is what is to be expected, becuase (a) the xml file is NOT at /cfcs/reactor.xml but at cfcs.reactor.xml. and [b] there is no mapping called 'reactor' because i deleted the mapping, since i'm trying to get it working without a mapping. The root of the web site is at c:\inetpub\wwwroot\testsite. In this environment you can't use "/cfcs/reactor.xml" You can only use 'cfcs/Reactor.xml". And in fact the code I am using to test reactor is as follows: <cfset Reactor = CreateObject("Component", "reactor.reactorFactory").init(expandPath("cfcs\Reactor.xml")) /> <cfdump var="#Reactor#" /> OK perhaps others are using it in a shared environment. Perhaps what I should be saying instead then is that you cannot use reactor to develop on a PC using WinXPPro and IIS because in IIS you cant have multiple sites. You can only have one site. But it sitll means using reactor is impractical for developing in the smaller sites. I can have a site working in the production environment, but can't have it running in the dev environment. That makes it pretty hard to work on dont you think? Remembering that reactor is supposed to be a time saver, i can't develop with it, unless i change every reference to CFCs throughout the code, every time there's a code change OR change my web server - which last time i had a go at it cost me a LOT of time. Believe me, I'm eager to be proved wrong here. I think Reactor looks like a terrific product. I was excited the other day when i saw Doug's breezo on it, and thats why i had a go at using it. But i can't see how it's practical to use in a shared environment, using IIS on my dev machine.
