  1. POExtending application.cfc in a subdirectory
    text
    copied!<p>I have the following two files and would like the second to extend the first:</p> <ol> <li>wwwroot\site\application.cfc</li> <li>wwwroot\site\dir\application.cfc</li> </ol> <p>However, when I go to declare the component for the second file, I'm not sure what to put in the extends attribute. <strong>My problem is that several dev sites (with a shared SVN repository) are running off the same instance of ColdFusion</strong>, so I can't just create a mapping in the CF admin like so:</p> <pre><code>&lt;cfcomponent extends="site.application"&gt; </code></pre> <p>However, ColdFusion doesn't like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;cfcomponent extends="..application"&gt; </code></pre> <p>or any dynamic input like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;cfcomponent extends="#expandpath('..').#application"&gt; </code></pre> <p>Creating a runtime mapping (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/287187/extend-a-cfc-using-a-relative-path">like here</a>) doesn't seem possible either. Creating it in the base application.cfc is useless because that code hasn't yet executed by the time the inheriting cfc is being declared; and I can't create the mapping before the inheriting component is defined because there isn't yet an application to attach it to.</p> <p>Is there any way I can reference the parent directory to accomplish my extends?</p> <p>Edit to clarify: The ApplicationProxy solution doesn't work because of the bolded text above. Right now, as a workaround, we're simply not checking the \dir\application.cfc into SVN so that each developer can keep a version that extends his/her own root application.cfc. Obviously, this is not ideal.</p>
