ColdBox 2.5.2 update coming : autowire delight!!

For those of you interested in downloading the daily build, I have let

the cat out of the bag today, in which we will have version 2.5.2 in the next coming weeks.

Why the update if we are on schedule for 2.6? Well, these features

where left out of 2.5 until I was sure they where ok and now they are.

So what does the update include:

1. Two new interception points: afterHandlerCreation,

afterPluginCreation


2. Fixes for using the coldboxproxy with event gateways (Thanks Tom!)


3. API documentation


4. Lightwire updated to include "containsBean" method


5. Due to the popularity of the flash RC persitance via setNextEvent

and setNextRoute, the method has been now exposed to the controller

and all plugins/handlers/interceptors. You can now persist variables

from the collection into the flash RC Ram via the method:


"persistVariables(comma-delimmited list of keys)".

You can now use it

to persist on demand. (Thanks Mark!!)


6. One new interceptor: autowire.cfc

This amazing interceptor will autowire your handlers and plugins with

beans from the ioc plugin (whether coldspring or lightwire). So you

can easily autowire your handlers and plugins with service objects or whatever you want. Man, am I

gonna have to configure mooore stuff. Well, not thanks to conventions

and metadata. All you do is:

- Declare the 'autowire=true' in your cfcomponent declaration.

- Then just create the getter/setters for your services (*They have to

be the same name as the bean names in your configurations)

And that is IT!!! No configuration, just add the "autowire" metadata parameter

to your handlers and plugins, create the getters and setters and you

are ready to roll.

The interceptor declaration would be:

true

The debugmode property just spits out to the log files any errors or

information stuff.

So there you go, one more surprise coming probably in about a week and

2.5.2 is a go!!

Enjoy the autowire interceptor!!
