DEVELOPING COLDFUSION 9 APPLICATIONS 602 ColdFusion ORM ORM settings The following are the data source-specific ORM settings for which you can specify string or struct values in the Application.cfc: • schema • catalog • dialect • dbcreate • sqlscript For multiple data sources, a struct can be specified with data source name as the key and the appropriate setting as the value. If a string value is specified, it applies to the default data source of ORM. Example 1 Example 2 If multiple data sources are used for ORM, these settings apply to the default ORM data source. Mapping using Hibernate mapping files In multiple data source scenarios, the data source information must be provided in the CFC (and not in .hbmxml file). Also, all CFCs used in one .hbmxml file must have the same data source. Example The following example illustrates two different entities using two different data sources. In this example, art.cfc and artist.cfc are related and therefore use the same data source. art.cfc artists.cfc authors.cfc Last updated 1/20/2012
