== Transfer ORM ==
Download the latest Transfer ORM framework at [[http://www.transfer-orm.com/?action=transfer.download]], then extract it to your webroot.

Create a 'transfer' directory in {webroot}/fooproject/config and also a 'transfer' directory inside {webroot}/fooproject/model.

Following that, create two new .xml files named Datasource.xml and Transfer.xml inside {webroot}/fooproject/config/transfer. Datasource.xml file contains the datasource used by your application. Fill it out like so: 
{{{
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<datasource xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../transfer/resources/xsd/datasource.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<name>FooDataSourceName</name>
<username></username>
<password></password>
</datasource>
}}}

The contents of the Transfer.xml file define the objects Transfer ORM will manage for us.  See the [[http://docs.transfer-orm.com/ Transfer ORM docs]] for details on this step.

Lastly, connect Transfer to !ModelGlue through !ColdSpring. Open {webroot}/fooproject/config/ColdSpring.xml and paste the following definitions:


{{{
 <!-- Example ColdSpring.xml for Transfer ORM in an MG:3 application -->
 <beans>
  ...
  <alias alias="ormAdapter" name="ormAdapter.Transfer" />
  <alias alias="ormService" name="ormService.Transfer" />
  <bean id="transferConfiguration" class="transfer.com.config.Configuration">
   <constructor-arg name="datasourcePath"><value>/fooproject/config/transfer/Datasource.xml.cfm</value></constructor-arg>
   <constructor-arg name="configPath"><value>/fooproject/config/transfer/Transfer.xml.cfm</value></constructor-arg>
   <constructor-arg name="definitionPath"><value>/fooproject/model/data/transfer</value></constructor-arg>
  </bean>
 </beans>
}}}

You should now be able to use !ModelGlue [[http://docs.model-glue.com/wiki/HowTos/HowToUseGenericDatabaseMessages Generic Database Messages]] and [[http://docs.model-glue.com/wiki/HowTos/HowToUseScaffolds Scaffolds]] powered by Transfer ORM in your application.

== !ColdFusion ORM ==
!ColdFusion ORM is available in !ColdFusion versions 9.0 and above, so no installation is necessary.

Make sure that you have ORM enabled in your Application.cfc file. An example is: 
{{{
<cfset this.ormenabled = true />
<cfset this.datasource = "FooDataSourceName" />
<cfset this.ormsettings = {flushAtRequestEnd=false,automanageSession=false} />
}}}


Connect !ColdFusion ORM to !ModelGlue through !ColdSpring. Open {webroot}/fooproject/config/ColdSpring.xml and paste the following definitions:


{{{
 <!-- Example ColdSpring.xml for ColdFusion ORM in an MG:3 application -->
 <beans>
  ...
  <alias alias="ormAdapter" name="ormAdapter.cfORM" />
  <alias alias="ormService" name="ormService.cfORM" />
 </beans>
}}}

You should now be able to use !ModelGlue [[http://docs.model-glue.com/wiki/HowTos/HowToUseGenericDatabaseMessages Generic Database Messages]] and [[http://docs.model-glue.com/wiki/HowTos/HowToUseScaffolds Scaffolds]] powered by !ColdFusion ORM in your application.
