Added Custom Factory Support for LightWire 0.5

Dude, I know nothing about ANT and still had the xml file to clean up my files (i.e. remove unneeded files), copy it and zip it up done in like 20 minutes, and 19 of those were spent learning the prerequisite knowledge.

Peter, I want to use LightWire on a new project but I'm stuck with a problem. I'm trying to use LightWire to instantiate Transfer but the factory method call won't work. I'm running the exact same code you have in the examples:

addSingleton("transfer.TransferFactory");
addConstructorProperty("TransferFactory", "datasourcePath", "/H2O/config/datasource.xml.cfm");
addConstructorProperty("TransferFactory", "configPath", "/H2O/config/transfer.xml.cfm");
addConstructorProperty("TransferFactory", "definitionPath", "/H2O/config/definitions");
addSingletonFromFactory("TransferFactory", "getTransfer", "transfer");

I keep getting the following error:
Element CONSTRUCTORDEPENDENCYSTRUCT is undefined in a CFML structure referenced as part of an expression

I looked in the files and sure enough it seems that structure isn't defined for an object created from a factory. Am I missing something here? I've got the latest LightWire from SVN, but also tried it using the one that comes with ColdBox and I get the same error.

I just added the following lines to the end of the addBeanFromFactory() method in BaseConfigObject.cfc:


variables.config[BeanName].ConstructorDependencyStruct = StructNew();
variables.config[BeanName].SetterDependencyStruct = StructNew();
variables.config[BeanName].MixinDependencyStruct = StructNew();
variables.config[BeanName].InitMethod = "";

Basically I added a bunch of properties that are set by addBean(). Just not sure it's really meant to be that way, I haven't used LightWire enough to know if this can cause problems elsewhere.

Hi, Peter.

I started having the same problem with Lightwire and Transfer as Thomas (above). The modification to the Lightwire code that Thomas recommends worked though.
