If you want to pass the argument names dynamically, I suggest you use the argumentCollection

Thanks Nathan,  I knew.. there was a way around the "evaluate"....
It was really bothering me.. to advocate NOT to use "evaluate" and
having forced to use it.
 
One more question.. havent tested it..
Can i pass the parameters in
value= variables[objName].dynMethod(request.param1,request.param2);
 
Thanks
Joe Eugene

A similar method, if you need the dynamically called method to have access to the CFC internals might be:
 
<cfscript>
object  = createObject("component", "yourComp");
 objName  = "object";
 methodName = "yourMethod";
 variables[objName].dynMethod = variables[objName][methodName];
 value= variables[objName].dynMethod();
 writeOutput(value);
</cfscript>
 
In the original, you are "stripping" the method off the CFC instance and making it local.  In my method you are "tacking" the dynamic method back onto the CFC instance.  It only matters if the method you call also calls private/public methods of the CFC and/or uses instance data of the CFC.

This works (tested):
<cfscript>
 object  = createObject("component", "yourComp");
 objName  = "object";
 methodName = "yourMethod";
 dynMethod = variables[objName][methodName];
 value= dynMethod();
 
 writeOutput(value);
</cfscript>
 
Is that what you're after?

Thanks Samuel... but that does NOT work.
 
The only way i can get it to work is using an evaluate.... and i really dont want to use "evaluate"
 
 variables.execMethod="request."&variables.varClass&"."&variables.varMethod;
 '#variables.varName#'= evaluate(variables.execMethod);
 
Your Code...
 variables[varName] = request[variables.varClass][variables.varMethod](); // Complains about "()"
 
The compiler complains about the "()" at the end... can u get it to work?
 
Thanks

two ways, 
 
1.
 
request.dataObj = createObject("Component","Website/MyData");
 
varObj="dataObj";
varMethod="getStateData"; // removed the parens
varName="someData";
 
variables[varName] = request[varObj][varMethod]();
 
2.
 
<cfinvoke component="#request[varobj]#" method="#varMethod#" returnVariable="#varName#">
 
 
Untested but both should work.
 
hth,

Sam

Anybody know how to dynamically call methods in CFC's
 
<cfscript>
request.dataObj = createObject("Component","Website/MyData");
 
varObj="dataObj";
varMethod="getStateData()";
varName="someData";
 
 
// Now, i want to be able to call the CFC Dynamically, something like
 
'#varName#'=request["#varObj#"]["#varMethod#"];
 
//.#varMethod# doesnt work either.
 
</cfscript>
 
I am getting the below from the above code.
"Element getleftNavLinks is undefined in a Java object of type class coldfusion.runtime.TemplateProxy referenced as"
 
What am i missing?..
 
Thanks
Joe Eugene
