App Bean Config

Overview

The App Bean Config is the ADF application configuration file for the LightWire object factory. This file establishes the bean configuration with application-specific components and ADF library components.

The App Bean Config must have the file name 'AppBeanConfig.cfm' and be located at the root of the ADF application directory.

Architecture

The App Bean Config is separated into three sections:

Initialization

• Set up variables to be used in this configuration file.
• Load the ADF application App component. This component creates the ADF application singleton where the dependencies will be injected.

// App specific variables
appBeanName = "STARTER_APP";
// Get the com path for the current custom application
appComPath = getComPathForCustomAppDir(GetCurrentTemplatePath());
// Load the APP Base
addSingleton("#appComPath#App", appBeanName);

Inject Components

• Load the ADF application components. Create singletons, transients, and dependencies for the specific components within the custom application.

 
// Load the STARTER APP service component
addSingleton("#appComPath#myComponent", "myComponent");
addConstructorDependency(myComponent, "myComponent");
addTransient("#appComPath#myOtherComponent", "myOtherComponent");

Inject ADF Library

• Load the ADF library components. Create the dependencies to the ADF application singleton.

// Dependecies from ADF Lib
addConstructorDependency(appBeanName, "cedata_1_0", "cedata");
addConstructorDependency(appBeanName, "scripts_1_0", "scripts");

App Component (App.cfc)

All custom applications must contain the App component (App.cfc).

This file is a simple component used as the base object for the custom application where all dependencies will be injected. This component extends the AppBase component in the ADF Core.
