While I'm waiting for some help desk people to get back in touch with me, I wanted to send this question to the list:
We upgraded our test server to CFMX (finally) and run ActivePDF on just about every site on the server (PDF is a standard over here). When we upgraded CFMX totally botched the COM object calls. Even though they appear to be normal (and are unchanged): <CFOBJECT ACTION="Create" TYPE="COM" CLASS=APSERVER.Object NAME="APServer"> We're running into this error: "An exception occurred during method selection process for Method OUTPUTDIRECTORY The cause of this exception was that there are no methods with the specified method name and argument types." Where CFMX doesn't recognize the methods for the object. I understand from talking to Dave Watts among others that CFMX has a hard time creating mappings from com to Java. The knowledge base articles talk about writing Java Stubs and other people suggested Windows Script Host or VB wrappers. Personally I think that's an insane workaround for one of the more common tags in CF. To me the whole point of CFOBJECT is so you don't have to learn and write vb or wsh to call windows objects, so writing a wrapper seems like Macromedia's way of deprecating cfobject. Thanks for any help! Don Don ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
