-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Mazelin Sent: Friday, May 05, 2006 1:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Reactor For CF] production mode and writing project files As a followup to this (I seem to be answering my own questions??), I have tweaked the process a bit, which seems to have eliminated the issue. I have made the [reactor]/project directory writable by the coldfusion server user. The [reactordata] directory is writable by my ftp user (and not coldfusion). So I can upload the reactordata files as I modify them, and Reactor can update the files in [reactor]/project as needed. Everytime I make a table change though, I need to recompile the [reactordata] files locally (I guess maybe just the dictionary files?), merge in any changes (again, only the dictionary?) then republish them to my testing server. Still a pain, but it seemed to eliminate Reactor wanting to regenerate my [reactordata] files. So I guess that brings me to another point (maybe I should've started a new thread): Is there any way for a set of main dictionary files to be generated in the [reactor] project directory and then allow them to be overridden by a local copy--just like all the cfcs work? So I could put my custom dictionary items and any dictionary items I want to change in a [reactordata] dictionary xml file, but the default set of dictionary items, including any that change as the table structure changes, would be in the "untouchable" [reactor]/project directory. I'm not sure how that would happen (merging of xml files), but at the moment it seems like a good thing because right now the generation/overriding of the dictionary files don't follow the same rules as all the other generated files.
