Re: Setting client variable datasource via config.xml
Yes, I'm sure it works. I've updated this to script syntax but don't have
that code handy, but here is the tag-based way I do it:
In the pseudoconstructor:
!--- Initialize all environment-specific variables, including DSN, ORM
settings, and configuration settings. ---
cfset initializeEnvironment() /
OnApplicationStart:
cffunction name=onApplicationStart returnType=boolean output=false
cfset initializeEnvironment() /
cfset ORMReload() /
cfreturn true
/cffunction
The method:
cffunction name=initializeEnvironment access=private output=false
returntype=any
cfset var local = StructNew() /
cfif IsDefined( 'application' ) EQ false OR ( IsDefined( 'application' )
AND not StructKeyExists( application, 'globalProperties' ) )
!--- Get the global properties for this environment, based on the server
name ---
cfset local.globalProperties = StructNew() /
cfset local.globalProperties = CreateObject(
'component','com.util.Environment'
).init(xmlFile='/config/environment/environment.xml').getDefaultEnvironment()
/
cfif IsDefined( 'application' ) AND not StructKeyExists( application,
'globalProperties' )
cfset application.globalProperties = local.globalProperties /
/cfif
cfelse
cfset local.globalProperties = application.globalProperties /
/cfif
cfset this.ormenabled = true /
cfset this.datasource = local.globalProperties.datasource /
cfset this.ormsettings = local.globalProperties.ormSettings /
/cffunction
This way, on first load the XML is actually read twice, once in the
pseudoconstructor (to set the initial values), and then once in
OnApplicationStart (where it is cached into the application scope). All
subsequent requests populate the instance variables in Application.cfc (like
datasource and ormsettings) via the cached settings data.

So if your application settings are coming form the XML file, you need them
even before the Application initialises and checks for the existence of the
application vars.

Right, set up a function that you call to get the variables, and have it
read the XML the first time, and on any subsequent calls just use the XML
already loaded rather than load it again.

You might get away with that after the application has already been
init'd, but even then it would be a false positive and would stop
working as soon as the application timed out or the application server
was restarted.
However,
you *can* do something like so:
this.clientStorage = getClientStorageDatasource();
function getClientStorageDatasource()

// read your xml file and extract the variable

I used to have this issue as well, you obviously cannot read read
app
vars
that do not exist yet and you cannot create them until the
application scope is initialised.
The way I got round this is to have 2 XML files.
One that contains the init variables that need to exist before the
application scope is initialised, and I load these into request
scope onapplicationstart. Once this is done, I then load the global
config into the application scope.

We have moved those parts of the configuration required for code outside the methods in Application.cfc to the onServerStart() method of Server.cfc. That only works because we deploy one application per instance though.
