I would normally post this sort of thing up on StackOverflow, but i'm not sure
it really fits there.
So I've started messing around with (3rd party) webhooks and had a bright idea
of using remote functions to intercept the hook. Sure enough i wrote my
function and started firing browser requests at it and dumping whatever came at
it.
I was pretty pleased with myself.. then i tried getting serious.
we have a setup at work that looks kinda like this.
C:\webroot\
C:\webroot\_objects\
C:\webroot\site1\
C:\webroot\site2\
etc
Now "C:\webroot\_objects\" contains all of our objects we use along with
Application.cfc. C:\webroot\site1\ are our various sites containing
"application.cfc" [small "a"].
application.cfc tells Application.cfc which objects the sites use, and
Application.cfc goes about loading them via .cfm files.
doing things like:
local.stArgs = {};
local.stArgs.sDSN = application.stSiteVars.stDSN.sShop;
local.stArgs.oCFML = application.stObj.oCFML;
local.stArgs.oFormat = application.oFormat;
local.stArgs.sJournalCode = application.sSiteCode;
local.stArgs.oShopDAO = application.stObj.oShopDAO;
local.oShopifyOrderBusiness =
createObject("component","_objects._core._shopify.shopifyOrderBusiness").init(argumentCollection=local.stArgs);
application.stObj.stShopify.oShopifyOrderBusiness = local.oShopifyOrderBusiness;
local.stArgs.oShopifyOrderBusiness =
application.stObj.stShopify.oShopifyOrderBusiness;
local.oShopifyWebHookBusiness =
createObject("component","_objects._core._shopify.shopifyWebhookBusiness").init(argumentCollection=local.stArgs);
application.stObj.stShopify.oShopifyWebHookBusiness =
local.oShopifyWebHookBusiness;
As you can see, "oShopifyWebHookBusiness" takes "oShopifyOrderBusiness" as an
argument, and within the init function of "oShopifyWebHookBusiness" it places
oShopifyOrderBusiness into the variables scope
("variables.oShopifyOrderBusiness = arguments.oShopifyOrderBusiness").
I guess you can see where this is leading (well if my reading is correct, if
not you're probably lost).... When you call a remote function, it instantiates
the object each time, meaning the init never gets called and the variables
scope does not contain a reference to "oShopifyOrderBusiness", meaning I can't
easily pass off anything from the remote function to another function within
"oShopifyOrderBusiness".
To get around this, i've had to fall back to passing webhooks to a cfm, which
then allows me to do what i originally wanted to do, due to it already being
instantiated with the various items in the variables scope.
Has our setup screwed us, or have i read the situation wrong and I'm missing
something.
