ColdFusion ORM: ORM-CFC Generator Extension for Adobe ColdFusion Builder
When we started working on ColdFusion-ORM feature (me and Rupesh), the only way to provide ORM mapping was by using the hibernate XML file (hbm.xml). Later, we provided a way to specify the mapping in CFCs – ColdFusion-ORM would then take care of creating the hibernate mapping. This made life easier for the ColdFusion developers. Now we have the ORM-CFC Generator Extension in Adobe ColdFusion Builder which will generate ORM-CFCs automatically!
The Adobe CFC Generator can be downloaded from this location and the instructions to use it are here. The Adobe CFC Generator
- allows you to create ORM-CFCs from a set of tables.
- allows you to configure the ORM-CFCs – change the CFC-Name, change EntityName, change property-name, select/de-select columns, add relationships and join-conditions, etc.
- generates ORM-CFCs (of-course!)
- generates Service CFCs for each ORM-CFC that contain certain utility methods to work with the ORM-entities
Note that the Adobe CFC Generator is provided as a sample extension. When the extension is installed, the source-code for the extension can be found in the installed location. Using the source code, you can modify/customize the UI/ORM-cfcs/Service-cfcs to add additional functionality.
Check out this blog post – How Do I generate ORM CFC’s??? – A nice captivate demo which shows you how to install and use ORM-CFC Generator Extension. The CFBuilder team will be posting heavily on extensions in the coming days – do have an eye on that space.
