well, you won't be able to use argumentCollection, because that's for cf
variables, and what you're dealing with is JS variables. the closest that
i've been able to come is to pass the data as a JSON object, and have the
CFC method expect a single argument, rather than 3. I originally had all 3
cfarguments explicitly stated, but the method apparently doesn't
'deconstruct' the argument. it saw the JSON object as the first argument
(personID), and the other two (lastName and firstName) were null.
if you're ok with the method accepting a single argument, something like
this should work:
your .cfm file:
<cfajaxproxy cfc="account.InternalAccountManagement"
jsclassname="accountManager">
<script type="text/javascript">
var am = new accountManager();
var person = { "id":1, "lastName":"Doe", "firstName":"John" };
var myResponse = am.updatePerson(person);
document.write(myResponse);
</script>
the CFC method would look like this:
<cffunction name="updatePerson" access="remote" output="false"
returnFormat="JSON">
<cfargument name="person" />
<!--- returning this as a 'for example' --->
<cfreturn arguments.person.firstName />
</cffunction>
