Constructor Properties

Constructor Properties for ActiveEntity in CBORM

There are a few properties you can instantiate the ActiveEntity with or set them afterwards that affect operation. Below you can see a nice chart for them:

Property	Type	Required	Default	Description
queryCacheRegion	string	false	#entityName#.activeEntityCache	The name of the secondary cache region to use when doing queries via this entity
useQueryCaching	boolean	false	false	To enable the caching of queries used by this entity
eventHandling	boolean	false	true	Announce interception events on new() operations and save() operations: ORMPostNew, ORMPreSave, ORMPostSave
useTransactions	boolean	false	true	Enables ColdFusion safe transactions around all operations that either save, delete or update ORM entities
defaultAsQuery	boolean	false	false	The bit that determines the default return value for list(), executeQuery() as query or array of objects

Here is a nice example of calling the super.init() class with some of these constructor properties.

User.cfc

component persistent="true" table="users" extends="cborm.models.ActiveEntity"{

    function init(){

        setCreatedDate( now() );

        super.init( useQueryCaching=true, defaultAsQuery=false );

        return this;
    }

}
