SaaS in cfwheels

[Samson Quaye]

Hello,

What would be the best implimentation method of a SaaS application
using the coldfusion on wheels mvc framework.

Any suggestion is welcomed.

Thanks

SaaS applications aren't anything specific to cfwheels, so it's more of a application server question as the issues you need to deal with are high availability and resilience. CFWheels can handle large SaaS systems, so it's down to the specific app.

Hello Andy,

Thank for your response.

In your own opinion, what would be best  method to handle multi tenancy in a case where each client has his/her own database and data-source? 

Thanks

in the model init call a method that will check for a request variable
value that will set the datasource

<cffunction name="init">
<cfset switchDataSource()>
</cffunction>


<cffunction name="switchDataSource">
<cfif StructKeyExists(request, "clientDatasource")>
<cfset dataource(request.clientDatasource)>
</cfif>
</cffunction>

so now if request.clientDatasource doesn't exist, wheels will use the
default datasource of the application. if it does, it will set the
datasource of the model to the value in request.clientDatasource.

Won't that be cached?

[Adam Michel]

This was my understanding as well, that dynamically changing the datasource wouldn't work since it's cached in the application scope. Is this somehow avoided by moving the datasource setter into a separate function and not simply in the init function?
