Hello, Our old large web application uses one database and there are a large number of DataContext.createDataContext(); statements all over the web application itself and jars it depends on.
Now there is a need to access another database. Currently the Configuration gets initialized with the first call of createDataContext - there is no special class which initializes cayenne eagerly. All defaults. Reading the API ( http://cayenne.apache.org/doc30/api/org/apache/cayenne/access/DataContext.html#createDataContext%28%29) there is a sentence: "Factory method that creates and returns a new instance of DataContext based on default domain." What is the default domain? I can't find anything in the modeler or in the cayenne xml configuration file to mark one node as default. Currently the cayenne.xml comes from one of the external jars, not the web application itself. Now I will have to create a manually crafted my-cayenne.xml configuration file which has another data node and initialize it with something like: DefaultConfiguration conf = new DefaultConfiguration("my-cayenne.xml"); But I suspect I would have to find all occurances of createDataContext() and replace it with createDataContext("old-node-name"). I would really like to avoid that! Instead, can I just leave the access code to "old" database as is and only create data context for the new database with createDataContext("my-new-node-name")? -Borut
