Dynamically load an XML config into a bean at runtime with ColdSpring from within MG

[d.nando@…]

I'm looking for a way from within ModelGlue? of loading an XML config file to create a bean at runtime using ColdSpring?. So rather than statically declaring it in ColdSpring?.xml, i'd either dynamically provide a path to the XML config to the ColdSpring?, or dynamically generate the XML config, and get back a bean with values that can be vary.

The thread on the MG mailing list where we discussed this had the subject "Coldspring/MG - XML config at runtime?"

thanks, Nando

The concrete service behind ORM is exposed via .getORMService() on ModelGlue?.cfc. It'd be logical to expose the IoC service (be it ColdSpring? or ChiliBeans?) through the same manner.

Therefore, you could do something like this:

<cfset cs = getModelGlue().getIOCService() /> <cfset cs.loadBeans("/my/great/beans.xml") />

Would that work?

Joe,

I think that would work for this use-case. It would also allow dynamic bean values (e.g. <value>${some.value}</value>) by using BeanFactory?.setDefaultAttributes(struct)

GetBeanFactory?() on ModelGlue?.cfc exposes this - has for a while, actually.
