I spent almost 45 minutes searching for the problem in Bean Creation in ColdSpring.


Bean creation exception in poimgr.model.service.FieldService
Invalid CFML construct found on line 23 at column 87.:ColdFusion was looking at the following text:

)

The CFML compiler was processing:

  • a cfreturn tag beginning on line 23, column 18.
  • a cfreturn tag beginning on line 23, column 18.

This basically means that there si a problem in FieldService at line 23!!!

This is my beta release of apptemplate which runs ColdFusion, ColdSpring and Reactor.
To configure:

1. rename all instances of apptemplate to your “myapplication” found in the ff files;

Application.cfm:2:<cfapplication name="apptemplate" sessionmanagement="true">
build.xml:2:
<property name="source" value="E:\wwwroot\apptemplate">

ColdSpring bean creation magic…

Feb 1st

Adam describes some fun and exciting changes in ModelGlue Unity. I can now ditch cflocation by using argument.event.forward(“location.cfm”).

Its just now that im loving ColdSpring, I think its much better to instantiate beans and set/create other objects using setters/getters through the property instead of constructor-arg. Here’s an example:

<cfcomponent displayname="UserService" output="false" hint="I am a UserService.">
	<cffunction name="init" access="Public" returntype="UserService" output="false" hint="I am a new UserService">
		<cfreturn>
	</cfreturn>
 
	</cffunction><cffunction name="setUserGateway" returntype="void" access="public" output="false" hint="Dependency: UserService">
		<cfargument name="userGateway" type="cfcodetrack.model.UserGateway" required="true">
		<cfset variables.usergateway="arguments.userGateway">
	</cfset>
 
	<cffunction name="getUserGateway" access="public" returntype="cfcodetrack.model.UserGateway" output="false">
		<cfreturn>
	</cfreturn>	
 
	</cffunction><cffunction name="authenticate" access="public" returntype="string" output="false">
		<cfargument name="username" type="string" required="true">
		</cfargument><cfargument name="password" type="string" required="true">
		<cfdump var="#password#">
		<cfabort>
	</cfabort>	
 
	<cffunction name="getUsers" access="public" returntype="any" output="false">
		<cfreturn>
	</cfreturn>
 
</cffunction>
</cfdump></cfargument></cffunction></cfargument></cffunction></cfcomponent>

In your ColdSpring.xml your beans should only look like this:

	<bean id="dsn" class="cfcodetrack.model.dsn">
		<constructor -arg name="dsn">
			<value>cfcodetrack</value>
		</constructor>
	</bean>	
 
	<bean id="reactorFactory" class="reactor.reactorFactory">
		<constructor -arg name="configuration">
			<ref bean="reactorConfiguration">
		</ref>
	</constructor>
 
	<!-- Security Service
	-->
	</bean><bean id="securityService" class="cfcodetrack.model.SecurityService" singleton="true"></bean>
 
	<bean id="userGateway" class="cfcodetrack.model.UserGateway" singleton="true">
<property name="reactorFactory">
			<ref bean="reactorFactory">
		</ref>
</property><property name="dsn">
			<ref bean="dsn">
		</ref>
	</property>
 
	</bean><bean id="userService" class="cfcodetrack.model.UserService" singleton="true">
<property name="userGateway">
			<ref bean="userGateway">
		</ref>
	</property>
</bean>

UML Explained

Feb 1st

Posted by rupert in coldspring

No comments

As Im making some progress in ColdSpring/Reactor, I need some modelling to be able to visualise things much better and to help the team understand. Here is a very good post regarding Use Case Diagrams and Activity Diagrams that Doug wrote.

Some UML Tools:
ArgoUML
- hard to copy and paste objects

Poseidon for UML5.0.1 – without JRE
- cannot save

cfcxmi convert XML models to CFC

Visio 2003 UML Class Export Tool

1. Open your class diagram at a page with a class you wish to export.
2. Control+click each class you wish to export
3. Open the Visual Basic Editor (Alt+F11)
4. Double click on "ThisDocument" if no script is currently loaded
5. Paste the script below here into the empty page
6. Edit the "LogFileLocation" string to tell it where you wish to save your file. (Note: this must exist before the script runs)
7. Hit F5 to run the script
8. Enter a name for the file in the popup box
9. Hit OK

Sub ExportShapes()
    Const LogFileLocation As String = "C:\visioExportFiles\"
    Dim selObj As Visio.Selection 'Shapes selection collection
    Dim shpObj As Visio.Shape 'A shape instance
    Dim i As Integer
    Dim myClassDef As String
    Dim LogFileName As String
    Dim FileNum As Integer
 
    myClassDef = "<classes>"
    Set selObj = Visio.ActiveWindow.Selection
    For i = 1 To selObj.Count
        Set shpObj = selObj(i)
        myClassDef = myClassDef &amp; "<class>"
        myClassDef = myClassDef &amp; "
<properties>
<property>" &amp; Replace(shpObj.Shapes.Item(6).Text, Chr(10), "</property>
<property>") &amp; "</property></properties>"
        myClassDef = myClassDef &amp; "<methods><method>" &amp; Replace(shpObj.Shapes.Item(5).Text, Chr(10), "</method><method>") &amp; "</method></methods>"
        myClassDef = myClassDef &amp; "</class>"
    Next i
    myClassDef = myClassDef &amp; "</classes>"
    'Begin export
    LogFileName = InputBox("What is the file name you wish to use (exclude the .xml extension)?", "Export Classes")
    MsgBox (myClassDef)
    If Len(LogFileName) Then
 
        FileNum = FreeFile ' next file number
        Open LogFileLocation &amp; LogFileName &amp; ".xml" For Output As #FileNum ' creates the file if it doesn't exist
        Print #FileNum, myClassDef ' write information at the end of the text file
        Close #FileNum ' close the file
    Else
        MsgBox ("Bad file name")
    End If
 
End Sub

ModelGlue Unity, ColdSpring, Reactor Install Guide

Jan 29th

ModelGlue Unity
1. If you are using ColdFusion6.1 then you need to download the updater from Macromedia. You could also download them from our servers…

ColdFusion updater 1 downloads:

cfmx_61update_linux.bin

Note: You would have metadata problems later on if you have 6.1 and no updater 1. However, if your on CFMX7 then no worries. Read my earlier post.

2. Downlaod modelglue unity from www.model-glue.com or http://www.model-glue.com/modelglue_2.0.161.zip

3. Unzip modelglue in your webroot.

4. Test your installation. I highly recommend you go through the ModelGlue2.0 Unity docs found in here, especially the “quickstart” section since it would get you up-to-speed with learning MVC concepts.

If you want to skip the learning curve then you can extract the translator.zip in your webroot and should see the ModelGlue 2.0 Unity up and running page.

5. Your old modelglue1.1 apps are reverse compatible like poiadmin or poidemo, so it should work. You could also test by using the modelglueapplicationtemplate found under the modelglue directory found here:

Load the modelglueapplicationtemplate in eclipse and change the parameters in build.xml, then execute it by ant. You should now have a new application.

6. If you have any problems, then here are some ModelGlue References:
Joe Rinehart Blog
docs.model-glue.com
Builder: Better coding with the Model-Glue:Unity ColdFusion application framework

ColdSpring
5. Download coldspring from:
stable release-Coldspring 1.0 Final Release
bleeding-edge (cvs)

6. Unzip Coldspring in your webroot.

7. You should have the ff directory structure for coldspring in your webroot.

If you decide to put the coldspring directory in a different directory, then you could create a coldfusion mapping in your coldfusion administrator.

8. ColdSpring Resources:
Dave Ross and Chris Scott.
As far as I want this post to be verbose as much as possible for the Chinese team, you could also checkout nodans blog regarding ModelGlue Unity and ColdSpring Tutorials.

Reactor
9. Create a mapping for reactor so that ModelGlue1.1 and 2.0 can coexist. Just make sure CF sees “E:\wwwroot\ModelGlue\Reactor\reactor” as “/Reactor”.

10. Here are some resources in reactor:
Doug Hughes Blog
Trac Site
Reactor Documentation
Reactor Mailing List
Reactor Mailing List Archives

11. I highly recommend going through the reactor livedocs be sure to read the quickstart as it gives you a general idea of how to use reactor in developing your applications.
