Mach-II 1.5 Application Skeleton

Posted By : Dan Wilson May 15, 2008 7:55 AM

I've put together an application skeleton for Mach-II 1.5 applications. This application skeleton is a nice way to get a Mach-II application up and running quickly. Neil Middleton, Peter Farrell, Matt Williams and Erik Meier each contributed in some way and Neil Middleton was kind enough to create an ANT task to automate the process

The code has been contributed to the Mach-II group and should be available on the official site soon.

About this skeleton:

Shows best practice for integrating with ColdSpring using the ColdSpringProperty.xml
Will detect if you have ColdSpring installed correctly. If you do not, it will nag you.
Shows how to use the subroutine feature of Mach-II 1.5 (thanks for the suggestion Neil)
Shows a sample Listener and xml configuration
Shows a sample Filter and xml configuration
Shows a sample Plugin and xml configuration
Has an ANT task for rapidly creating new applications (thanks again Neil)
Points to correct Mach-II 1.5 DTD references

To Use:

Unzip and put in your web root.
Select newapp.xml and Run As > ANT Build.
Give the name of your new application in the first pop-up.
Enter the path to your webroot in the next pop-up

and Presto! The new application will be created in the root directory given in step 4.

The Mach-II Application Skeleton is located in the Features Pod on the right.

The Application.cfc file contains <cfset this.name = "xxRedactedxx" />. And possibly the ant build could be modified to change this value to the app.name the user supplies?

Otherwise, nice work on creating the skeleton!

@CoolJJ

Thanks for spotting some room for improvement. I've updated the ANT build file to also change the application name in the Application.cfc as you've suggested and refreshed the zip file available for download.
