Well I pass objects all the time, but in the case of a result
function typically i'd want to call a method in the components
specifically.
Here is a simplified example of what I'm trying to do
<cfset userObj = createObject('component',
'extensions.components.user.user').init(userkey)>
<cfset test = userObj.getUserTypeInCenter>
<cfdump var="#test#">
<cfset test(userObj.defaultCenters.pc)>
The cfdump will show that test is a function, however it does not
keep the values that are passed to the component. It returns an error
saying that certain variables that are defined in the init are not
defined. However doing this instead works fine:
<cfset userObj = createObject('component',
'extensions.components.user.user').init(userkey)>
<cfset userObj.getUserTypeInCenter(userObj.defaultCenters.pc)>
How I ended up making it work was passing a struct like this
struct.component = userObj
struct.method = "create"
Then on the resulting function I do
<cfinvoke component="#result.component#" method="#result.method#">
Thanks for all the replies, it seems that ColdFusion is so close to
doing it right, to me this seems like a very clean way to pass result
messages. Let me know if anyone thinks I'm doing it wrong, I'd love
to stand corrected.
