Ok folks, the use of CFC's in Flash and ColdFusion is driving me bonkers.
The following is a scaled down version of a more complicated problem that brought this
to my attention. This is my very simple CFC. It stores a variable, and has one
function to return it and another to set it; I'll call it simple:
<cfcomponent hint="very simple cfc">
<cfscript>storeThisVariable = 2;</cfscript>
<cffunction name="getVar" access="remote" returntype="numeric" >
<cfreturn storeThisVariable>
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="setVar" access="remote" returntype="numeric" >
<cfargument name="value" type="numeric">
<cfset storeThisVariable = arguments.value>
<cfreturn storeThisVariable>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
Now, in ColdFusion, I can run the following code and it returns the expected results:
<cfscript>
simple = createObject("component","component/simple");
writeoutput("getvar: " & simple.getVar() & "<br>");
writeoutput("setvar: " & simple.setVar(3) & "<br>");
writeoutput("getvar: " & simple.getVar() & "<br>");
</cfscript>
I get the following output, as I expect it would:
getvar: 2
setvar: 3
getvar: 3
In Flash, I run the following action script:
#include "NetServices.as"
#include "DataGlue.as"
isGatewayOpen = true;
NetServices.setDefaultGatewayUrl("http://myserver:8000/flashservices/gateway/";);
var gatewayConnnection = NetServices.createGatewayConnection();
var simple = gatewayConnnection.getService("CFAmp4.component.simple", this);
simple.getvar();
simple.setVar(3);
simple.getVar();
function getVar_result(result){
trace("getvar: " + result);
}
function setVar_result(result){
trace("setvar: " + result);
}
Unlike ColdFusion, this returns the following:
getvar: 2
setvar: 3
getvar: 2
To me this indicates the Flash takes the time to reload the CFC everytime. Basically
doing powerful than doing the following:
http://localhost/simple.cfc?method=getvar
http://localhost/simple.cfc?method=setvar&value=3
http://localhost/simple.cfc?method=getvar
This cannot possibly be the expected behavior.
I, of course, could code around this, but why?
Thanks
