I am experimenting to see if it is possible for a ColdFusion web service
method to somehow return another object of some sort. I am not having
any luck with either my code or searching Google, but I wanted to ask
before I gave this up as impossible.
My last experiment looked something like this:
*webservice-test.cfm*
<cfset testObj = createObject("component","webservice")>
|<cfoutput>#testObj.getID()#</cfoutput><hr />
<cfoutput>#testObj.getObj().myFunction("george")#</cfoutput><hr />
<cfdump var="#testObj.getObj()#"><hr />
<cfdump var="#testObj#">
<cfset testWS =
createObject("webservice","http://localhost/webservice.cfc?wsdl";)>
<cfoutput>#testWS.getID()#</cfoutput><hr />
<cfdump var="#testWS.getObj()#"><hr />
<cfdump var="#testWS#">
|
*webservice.cfc*
|<cfcomponent>
<cfproperty name="ID" default="10" type="numeric">
<cfproperty name="obj" type="webservice2">
<cfset variables.ID = "12">
<cfset variables.obj = createObject("component","webservice2")>
<cffunction name="getID" access="remote" returntype="numeric">
<cfreturn variables.ID>
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="getObj" access="remote" returntype="webservice2">
<cfreturn variables.obj>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
|
*webservice2.cfc*
|<cfcomponent>
<cffunction name="myFunction" access="remote" returntype="string">
<cfargument name="myArgument" type="string" required="yes">
<cfset myResult=arguments.myArgument>
<cfreturn myResult>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
|
The top portion of the code that access the nested components locally
works exactly as expected.
The lower portion of the first file that accesses the nested components
as a web service produce an empty string for the method that is supposed
to reference the second cfc file. Is that what happens if one tries to
nest objects in a web service, or am I doing something wrong.
