Application.cfm Woes...
I think for some reason my Application.cfm isnt being resolved before my
pages... I was trying some more complicated detection and setting stuff but
in the process of trouble shooting I reduced it to just attempting to set my
datasource. It still didnąt work.
Im running JRun4 / CFMX 6.1 on OSX, I have Apache set up as an external
server and my context root is set to /
My director y structure looks like so:
| Web root
|-- bm
|---- bm_com
|------ beta
"beta" is the site root. Within "beta" lies Application.cfm and test.cfm.
In Application.cfm I have a simple statement:
<cfapplication name="basslinebeta" clientmanagement="yes"
sessionmanagement="yes" sessiontimeout="60" applicationtimeout="120">
<cfset datasource = "dataSourceName">
</cfapplication>
In test I have:
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
<cfquery name="tester" datasource= "#datasource#">
SELECT *
FROM someTable
</cfquery>
</head>
<body>
<cfoutput query="tester">
#someField#
</cfoutput>
</body>
</html>
The error I get is this:
Variable DATASOURCE is undefined.
The error occurred in
/Library/WebServer/Documents/bm/bm_com/beta/TMPmn29scp7f1.cfm: line 6
4 : <title>Untitled Document</title>
5 : <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
6 : <cfquery name="tester" datasource= "#datasource#">
7 : SELECT *
8 : FROM someTable
As far as I know thatąs al good syntax-wise, just to make sure I added the
exact same <cfset> code to test.cfm and it worked. So thatąs what leads me
to believe its just not finding and/or interpeting Application.cfm.
Any ideas?

Ant, Things will improve when <cfset> is moved outside <cfapplication> Sorry,
I'm feeling poetic this morning. The <cfapplication> tag is only used to set
application-level parameters, it shouldn't try to contain all of the functions
that you want performed in Application.cfm. Try:
<cfapplication name="basslinebeta" clientmanagement="yes"
sessionmanagement="yes" sessiontimeout="60" applicationtimeout="120">
<cfset datasource = "dataSourceName">
<!--- No "closing" </cfapplication> tag --->

Also make sure you set up the Datasource through the Coldfusion Administrator.
If it's not set up it will produce a similar error since it has no idea what
you are making reference to. Unless you are making a dnsless connection but
from your code that is obviously not the case. Hope that helps.

Yeah I already set up the DSN everything was good there. It was just
settingthat global variable in the application file that I was having issues
with.
Nevertheless I appreciate your post. :-)
