Hi, I have watched the video that you created for the Model-Glue security. And was wondering if there is any place i can grab the files that you were using?

Thanks

Hi J. I do have a skeleton MG app with nothing but security in it available on another post: http://www.dougboude.com/blog/1/2007/09/My-Approach-to-Basic-Security-in-a-ModelGlue-Application.cfm

Hi, thanks for your reply. I did find the other thread while browsing you blog.
I have a quick question....

Why installing the app, does it have to be directly in the wwwroot to work?
I tried to put it into a sub-dir called security, but all the mappings were wrong. Would i need to update all the mappings in the files to make it work in a sub-dir?

Thanks

Hey J. To move this app to a subdirectory, there are two things to consider: returntype values, and the modelglue config bean in coldspring.xml. Both of those use paths that will change when the app lives in a subdirectory. For instance, in the controller.cfc we're injecting the user object, which has a returntype of "model.user". If we put the app in a subdirectory, the returntype would have to be "mysubdirectoryname.model.user". Now, an alternative to that is to replace any non-model glue specific returntypes (injections, etc.) with a value of "Any" as opposed to a specific path. In fact, that's probably what I should have done, looking back. As far as the model-glue config values, you will have to change the paths there to things like "/views"...will be "/mysubdirectory/views". Let me know if you need more input!

Hi Doug
Thanks for your reply.
I ended up changing all the paths to include the subdirectory name. However, i realised this could be a problem. As im attempting to distribute an application that im building using model-glue/coldspring there could be several instances of the app on the same server....and using a generic name for the subdir will cause problems! I would need to keep changing the paths within the app each time i decide to create a duplicate of the app. still with me!?

So you propose to change the returntypes to 'Any' and then the only place that would need to have a the sub-dir is the config file?

Thanks again

Hi Doug
Just trying to get my head around Model-Glue and i have another question for you.

With regards to Application scope, where should session timeouts be set? Should this all remain in the application.cfm or added to the xml config files?

Thanks

Is it just me or is that presentation missing the audio from jim? I believe the only thing that had a microphone icon next to it for the presentation was Doug?

Doug,

Thanks for the informative tutorial!

However, I can't seem to grab the project files from the presentation's SVN link provided:
svn://www.kcdevcore.net:3690/kccoregroups

Checkout from svn://www.kcdevcore.net:3690/kccoregroups, revision HEAD, Fully recursive, Externals included
Can't connect to host 'www.kcdevcore.net': A connection attempt failed because
the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or
established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

Is this file still available somewhere else? Thanks!
