Just to confuse the issue further, the following ASP code works:
Dim oAHC
Set oAHC = Server.CreateObject("AHC.Messenger")
Dim oMsgMan
Set oMsgMan = oAHC.Connect("testapplication1")
Set oMsgType = Server.CreateObject("AHC.MessageType")
oMsgType.Version = "HL7 2.3"
oMsgType.MessageTypeCode = "ADT"
oMsgType.EventCode = "A28"
Dim oMsg
Set oMsg = oMsgMan.CreateMessage(oMsgType)
I would love to use CF instead. Any takers on why the following fails:
<cfobject type="COM" name="oAHC" class="AHC.Messenger" action="CREATE">
<cfset oMsgMan = oAHC.Connect("testapplication1")>
<cfobject action = "Create" type = "COM" class = "AHC.MessageType" name =
"oMsgType">
<cfset oMsgType.Version = "HL7 2.3">
<cfset oMsgType.MessageTypeCode = "ADT">
<cfset oMsgType.EventCode = "A28">
<cfset oMsg = oMsgMan.CreateMessage(oMsgType)>
The last line returns the error:
An exception occurred during method selection process for Method
CreateMessage The cause of this exception was that there are no methods with
the the specified method name and argument types.
Thanks,
Phil.
