Railo Extension - Ram Resource Info

I actually had to research this, but the answer is yes there is a good reason.

I wasn't aware of this until just this morning, but ram:/// is specific to each web context. Case in point, my screenshots were showing everything I did on http://testbed/ - I went over to my http://localhost/ and installed the application and my ram:/// is empty.

@All: Gert provided information for how you can get started on a "global" ram://

Another thing. At the moment the ram resource is defined in each web context’s railo-web.xml.cfm file. The definition looks like this:

<resource-provider
scheme="ram"
class="railo.commons.io.res.type.ram.RamResourceProvider"
arguments="case-sensitive:true;lock-timeout:1000;"/>

If you now copy the above definition to the railo-server.xml file like follows:

<resource-provider
scheme="gram" <<< this scheme just says something like global RAM
class="railo.commons.io.res.type.ram.RamResourceProvider"
arguments="case-sensitive:true;lock-timeout:1000;"/>

and restart the server, you could actually use a global ram resource in order to share files across the server. You can of course use any other scheme for it. Then after that you can use it like this:

<cffile action=”copy” source=”c:\temp.txt” destination=”gram:///test.txt”>
