Hi all

 

Any advice on where is a good place to store config settings for multiple apps? Our many clients have variaing configurations. It would be one file for all app settings.

 

we’re probably going to end up using the registry for DSN passwords, etc, but how about other things – paths, names, defaults, etc? Some of these will have to be calculated and written at first run, or in some cases, prompt the user for any missing values and then write them. I suppose it’d be like a simple installer program.

 

Application vars would only be available per app, not across all of them. Server vars seem interesting but they’d have to persist on re-boot and I’m not sure how they’d work on clustering.

 

Chances are XML files are the best way to store it but where should they go?

 - In the webroot?not all installs have a “webroot” as such, some have CF mapped directories.

 - Inside C:\CFusionMX somewhere? could we trust that path would always exist? Hmmm…

 

at least these are all windows machines.

 

any suggestions?

 

thanx
