Question about coldbox.xml and Environments.xml

[jim collins]

If someone adds name/value pairs to the Environments.xml file but does
not put them in the coldbox.xml file , and the Environment url
matches , will the variable exist even though it wasn't declared in
the coldbox.xml? To rephrase, does environments.xml create variables
or only override existing variables declared in coldbox.cml

[Doug Boude]

It will create them if they didn't already exist, or override them if they did.

Yep, if you want to see how the environment interceptor works, just take
a look inside environmentControl.cfc in the interceptors folder. (at
least in 2.6.3)

Lines 129-137 are:

/* Check if overriding a set setting */
if( settingExists(trim(SettingsArray[i].xmlAttributes.name)) ){
setSetting( trim(SettingsArray[i].xmlAttributes.name) , thisValue );
}
else{
/* Do a full set */
"configSettings.#trim(SettingsArray[i].xmlAttributes.name)#" =
thisValue;
}
