Wow, MrB, thanks for your confirmation. And you are indeed right: the dsns are NOT propagated.
To Andrew and all reading along, I have to admit (and apologize) that I've been misled on this all along. I did keep saying, "it would be strange" if the datasources were not propagated. I was saying that because I did know that so many other settings did propagate: I just presumed that DSNs did as well. But I just tested it, and sure enough, the datasources did not propagate. (FWIW, I did my test on CF8, lest anyone wonder if it was some "new behavior" in CF9, as Andrew was using). So this is really fascinating. I really had never heard anyone else indicate that the DSNs were not propagated (though again I knew from experience that other settings were). I guess I just never noticed it. I really am surprised that I've not heard anyone else complain of it (but perhaps others would say it's old news to them). Hey, you learn something new every day. For the sake of completeness, I just did a compare of the lib directory (where the neo*.xml files are stored) between the new instance and the base cfusion instance, and I can confirm that the ONLY one where settings were not propagated was the neo-datasource.xml. Wow. I decided to go one step father, and I modified a bunch of settings in the cfusion admin (and added mappings and custom tag paths), and then created yet another new instance, and compared that to the base cfusion instance. Again, the ONLY settings not propagated were the datasources. So lesson learned. I went still farther, and compared the other directories, and there are a few other interesting observations. Rather than bore you with the details, I'll be creating a blog entry on the topic later today. So Andrew, you're not going crazy! :-) /charlie > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On > Behalf Of MrBuzzy > Sent: Friday, April 22, 2011 6:41 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [cfaussie] Re: CF 9 Monitor Alerts still being sent even > though not enabled? > > Hey Andrew, > > For what it's worth when ever I create a 'new' CF instance I can say > for sure you won't get the data sources from the default cfusion > instance. > > If you are creating an instance 'from a WAR' then it depends what you > chose to have included in that WAR file when it was created. > > Side note: if you run CF in console mode when creating a new instance > you will see it generate an ANT build.xml.
