Reactor ORM Support

Introduction

ColdBox includes some extra support classes when working with Reactor ORM. These classes are :

1. ReactorLoader.cfc : An interceptor that can load Reactor and some of its classes into the ColdBox Cache. A super duper easy way to work with Reactor in your applications.

These utilities can be found in the /coldbox/system/orm/reactor folder.

Reactor Loader Interceptor

The reactor extras have been expanded and a new interceptor has been born called: ReactorLoader. This nice interceptor will configure your application to use Reactor and cache it in the ColdBox cache. Easily configure your app for Reactor ORM

Interceptor Properties

So just remember to add the datasource element with a valid dbType as Reactor needs it; Options are:

• mssql - Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and 2005.
• mysql - MySQL 5
• mysql4 - MySQL 4
• postgresql - PostgreSQL 8
• db2 - IBM DB2
• oracle - Oracle 9i and 10g
• oraclerdb - Oracle RDB (this is not officially supported)

Programmatic Sample:

datasources = {
	blogDSN = { name="simpleblog"   dbtype="mssql"}
};

interceptors = [
	{ class="coldbox.system.orm.reactor.ReactorLoader",
	  properties = {
		dsnAlias = "blogDSN",
		pathToConfigXML = "config/reactor.xml.cfm",
		project = "MyBlog",
		mapping = "/#appMapping#/model/reactor",
		mode = "development"
	  }
	}
};

XML Sample:

<Datasources>
	<Datasource alias="blogDSN" name="simpleblog"   dbtype="mssql" />
</Datasources>

<Interceptors>
<-- <Reactor Loader -->
<Interceptor class="coldbox.system.orm.reactor.ReactorLoader">
  <Property name="dsnAlias">blogDSN</Property>
  <Property name="pathToConfigXML">config/reactor.xml.cfm</Property>
  <Property name="project">MyBlog</Property>
  <Property name="mapping">${AppMapping}/model/reactor</Property>
  <Property name="mode">development</Property>
</Interceptor>
</Interceptors>

This declaration will create the following objects in the ColdBox cache:

So do you still think there is more? Well, there is no more, that's it, a few lines of code and you are cooking with Reactor.
