global scoping

[Tony Zakula]

If you have the following in application.sjs

    onApplicationStart:function(){ // run if application cache has expired

      $application.set("appEngine",Myna.include($application.directory+"appEngine/appEngine.sjs",{}));

      $application.set("appLog",Myna.include($application.directory+"appEngine/appLogging.sjs",{}));

    },

    onRequestStart:function(){ // run directly before requested file

      var appEngine = $application.get("appEngine");

      var log = $application.get("appLog");

      $req.handled = appEngine.handleRequest();

    },

Should you be able to call log.mymethod() from inside an appEngine function?  I keep getting an undefined error.

Thanks,

Tony

The problem is using "var" inside of onRequestStart. That binds to the function scope. You want to either leave it un-var'd or explicitly bind it to the global scope: $server.globalScope.log = $application...

On an unrelated note, why are you not using Myna.log() for logging?

Ha,  Thanks.  I will get the hang of JavaScript pretty soon I promise!  :-)

I am using Myna.log inside of my logging function.  I basically wanted to wrap some functions around Myna logging to make it a little more like apache logger.  

For example, you can use if(log.isInfoEnabled()) log.log("myMessage");

Then inside of log.log, I am using Myna.Log.  

I have info, debug, none right now.  If you wrap your logging with those statements, then you can control the logging level app wide with a setting.  Just seems more efficient and makes for easier trouble shooting down the road.
