conventions and inheritance

Communities ColdBox HMVC

Hi guys,

I have a General handler which extends a BaseHandler. The BaseHandler has the sessionService and ORMService injected. I also have a preHandler function within BaseHandler to place sessionService into the RC in order to reference the sessionService within all of my layouts and handlers that inherit BaseHandler

After someone logs in they are redirected to the account section of the site. Mysite.com/account/ Rather than have an Account Handler I have a folder in the handlers folder called Account (to house and secure all account handlers) and within the Account folder are handlers for Profile, Billing, etc. Since Coldbox is using conventions to automatically show the account/index view I am getting an error saying that rc.sessionService is not available when i'm at Mysite.com/account.

I'm wondering if anyone has a recos on how to get around this when using conventions. There is essentially NO Account handler that inherits BaseHandler since coldbox conventions are taking over at this point. The error does go away when I drill down to account/profile since there is a Profile handler.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Well, i’m not sure if this is the correct approach but I was able to get around it by modifying my routes like so:

addRoute(pattern=“account/:handler/:action?”); //where this would be something like /account/billing/whatever
addRoute(pattern=“account/”, handler=“account.Account”, action=“index” ); // and this would explicitly tell CB to hit the Account handler which would then inherit BaseHandler which has reference to the sessionService

Appreciate any feedback on this

Thanks.

You might be better to use modules in this type of scenario.
