Allow ModelGlue to use a pre-existing ColdSpring instance without creating it's own bean factory

Environment: ModelGlue 3 (rev: 113), ColdSpring 1.2, Brian Kotek's DynamicXmlBeanFactory.cfc

I would like to be able to create my own instance of ColdSpring utilizing the customizations provided by Brian Kotek's component and pass that instantiated bean factory to ModelGlue and avoid having "createBeanFactory" load it's own (see ColdSpringBootstrapper.cfc @ line 16). When ModelGlue loads its own "bf", it is passed my /config/coldspring.xml file which contains variables (${myServiceClassPath} = 'com.company.service.ServiceName') that are not resolved correctly by coldspring.beans.DefaultXmlBeanFactory and it errors out. ModelGlue will not load.

Can you not create your own bf using DynamicXmlBeanFactory? and set that as MG's parent bean factory in your apps index.cfm using

<cfset ModelGlue?_PARENT_BEAN_FACTORY = ??? />

and move your dynamic variables into the parent bf?

This has been addressed in a wiki article. Use a parent bean factory, no change to Model-glue is necessary.
