The Ortus ORM Extension is a native Lucee Extension that allows your CFML application to integrate with the powerful Hibernate ORM

Introduction

Ortus ORM Extension

The Ortus ORM Extension is a native Lucee Extension that allows your CFML application to integrate with the powerful Hibernate ORM. With Hibernate, you can interact with your database records in an object oriented fashion, using components to denote each record and simple getters and setters for each field value:

component entityName="Auto" persistent="true" {

	property name="id" type="string" fieldtype="id" ormtype="string";
	property name="make" type="string";
	property name="model" type="string";

    function onPreInsert(){
        log.info( "Inserting new Auto: #getMake()# #getModel()#" );
    }
}

The Ortus ORM extension also enables transactional persistence, where an error during a save will roll back the entire transaction to prevent leaving the database in a broken state:

transaction{
    try{
        entitySave(
            entityNew( "Purchase", {
                productID : "123-expensive-watch",
                purchaseTime : now(),
                customerID : customer.getId()
            })
        );
        var cartProducts = entityLoad( "CartProduct", customer.getID() );
        entityDelete( cartProducts );
    } catch ( any e ){
        // don't clear the user's cart if the purchase failed
        transactionRollback();
        rethrow;
    }
}
