Is FindMeOn::RoseDB a Rose::DB subclass? If so, it has a dbh() method that takes an argument: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Rose-DB/lib/Rose/DB.pm#dbh No need to be evil and reach into its hash :) > 1) Just to make sure -- are the objects returned by the manager > inheriting that particular instance of the db (including the dbh > override) ? or are they making a new class instance of the dbh ? i > know that a set of manager objects share a single db stashed in the > first item, i'm just wondering if that db object a reference to the > object the manager was called with, or a new instance of the same > class. i think its a reference to the existing object - i just want > to make sure. If the share_db parameter to the Manager call is true (the default), then whatever Rose::DB-derived object the Manager used to do the query is inserted into every Rose::DB::Object-derived object returned. If you do not supply a Rose::DB-derived object to the Manager (using the "db" parameter) then one will be created by calling the init_db() method of the object_class. (The docs call this an object method, but it's called as a class method in this case. The docs are updated in SVN.) > 2) what would be a good way to kill the db connection ? i was > thinking of a helper method as simple as this: "Kill"? Why not just set share_db => 0 in your Manager call to keep any of the returned RDBO-derived objects from having a db at all? > 3) what about making the get method 'dbh' a get/set? :) > 4) this is really trivial, but what about renaming the internal > stash 'db' to __db -- i don't mean to change the accessor name, but > just where it stashes the info. all of the rose db 'operational' > data and metadata seems to be nicely stashed away to 'private' > styled names, while column names are plaintext. You should never know what those keys are anyway! :) (Also, column values are stored in a few places, not just under the "expected" unadorned names.) -John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
