I've gotten my head around my first Model Glue app, except one thing - Global variables.
I googled and googled, and used some examples, but still having no luck. Model Glue 2.0.304 - Running into an error. My goal is to set a simple DSN global variable that I can use anywhere. I've used some examples from Googling, but still can't make anything work. Coldspring.xml looks like this: <bean id="AppConfiguration" class="ModelGlue.Bean.CommonBeans.SimpleConfig"> <property name="Config"> <map> <entry key="DSN"><value>leroy</value></entry> </map> </property> </bean> <bean id="Employee" class="model.Employee"> <constructor-arg name="AppConfiguration"> <ref bean="AppConfiguration" /> </constructor-arg> </bean> I have my controller object, which does not use an init(): <cffunction name="showEmployees" access="public" returnType="any" output="false"> <cfargument name="event" type="any" /> <cfscript> var Employee = createObject("component", "model.Employee").init(); var getEmployees = Employee.getEmployees(); arguments.event.setValue("employees", getEmployees); </cfscript> </cffunction> I built an Employee object. The Employee object uses an init(), and simply runs a query and returns all employees. <cffunction name="init" access="public" returntype="Employee" output="no"> <cfargument name="AppConfiguration" required="true" /> <cfset variables.config = arguments.AppConfiguration /> <cfreturn this /> </cffunction> Then here's the query: <cffunction name="getEmployees" access="public" returnType="query" output="false"> <cfscript> var getEmployees = ""; var myDSN = variables.config.getConfigSetting("DSN"); </cfscript> <cfquery name="getEmployees" datasource="#myDSN#"> select emp_id, emp_fname, emp_lname, emp_age from tblemployees </cfquery> <cfreturn getEmployees /> </cffunction> The error is coming from this line in the controller: var Employee = createObject("component", "model.Employee").init(); Error: The APPCONFIGURATION parameter to the init function is required but was not passed in. The error occurred in C:\webRoot\MG-ComplexData\controller\Controller.cfc: line 77 I'm assuming Employee.cfc is automatically init()ing when the app loads, so I shouldnt need to init() it again. I'm fuzzy... If I take the init() off the controller call like this: var Employee = createObject("component", "model.Employee"); Then I get this error: Element CONFIG is undefined in a Java object of type class [Ljava.lang.String;. The error occurred in C:\webRoot\MG-ComplexData\model\Employee.cfc: line 82 Thanks, Will ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:307848 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
