= !ColdSpring XML Reference =

Model-Glue:Unity introduced the !ColdSpring.xml file to the application template.

This file replaces the <config> block that was at the top of 1.x !ModelGlue.xml files.

It acts as a place to both configure your application and define additional beans accessed through bean injection or through the !GetBean() method of the Model-Glue API.

By default, it contains four beans:

  1. !ModelGlueConfiguration - the settings for the Model-Glue framework instance in your application. Each setting is explained in the "[ReferenceMaterials/ColdSpringXmlReference/ModelGlueConfiguration Model-Glue Configuration Setting Definitions]" section of this reference.
  1. !ReactorConfiguration - if the Reactor framework is installed (necessary for automated database access and scaffolding), these are the settings that will be used to configure Reactor in place of a <config> block at the top of Reactor.xml. Each setting is explained in the "[ReferenceMaterials/ColdSpringXmlReference/ReactorConfiguration Reactor Configuration Setting Definitions]" section of this reference.
  1. !TransferConfiguration - if the Transfer ORM framework is installed, these are the settings that will be used to configure Transfer. Each setting is explained in the "[ReferenceMaterials/ColdSpringXmlReference/TransferConfiguration Transfer Configuration Setting Definitions]" section of this reference.
  1. applicationConfiguration - a bean definition for the !SimpleConfig.cfc in the Bean/CommonBeans folder of your !ModelGlue folder which you can use to set configuration settings for your application. Use of this bean is optional.
