Re: [CFCDev] Help with dumping Evaluate() . . .

Title: Message

If you need to pass n ordered parameters, I'm not sure if there is a solution.  But if can be a structure of name value pairs this method should do what you want Local.TempReturns = dynamicMethodCall(object=Request[Local.Temp.Class], method=Local.Temp.Method, args=Local.Temp.Parameters); <cffunction  name="dynamicMethodCall" access="public" returnType="any"        hint="method to dynamically call any method on any object with any arguments">    <cfargument   name="object"  required="true" type="any"   hint="a reference to the object to call the method on" >    <cfargument   name="method"  required="true" type="string"   hint="the name of the method" >    <cfargument   name="args"  required="false" type="struct" default="" hint="a structure with the arguments as name value pairs" >    <cfset var retVal = false>    <cfinvoke component="#object#" method="#method#" argumentcollection="#args#" returnvariable="retVal">    <cfreturn retVal> </cffunction> Peter Bell wrote: Hi There,   Reforming evaluator needs assistance *grin*. I have a loop that generically makes n-function calls which are pulled from a database table. Each function call can be to a different method of a different service using  n-different parameters . I'm within a cfscript block and loathe to go back to regular cf syntax. How do I do the following without my (nasty!) evaluate?      Local.TempReturns = evaluate("Request.#Local.Temp.Class#.#Local.Temp.Method#(Local.Temp.Parameters)");    If it helps, the context is:   Local.LoopCount = 1;   Local.LoopError = 0;   Do   {    Local.Temp.Step = ListGetAt(Local.ProvisionerStepList,Local.LoopCount);    Local.Temp.Class = Local.Parameters[Local.Temp.Step].Class;    Local.Temp.Method = Local.Parameters[Local.Temp.Step].Method;    Local.Temp.Parameters = Local.Parameters[Local.Temp.Step].Parameters;    Local.LoopReturns = evaluate("Request.#Local.Temp.Class#.#Local.Temp.Method#(Local.Temp.Parameters)");    Local.LoopError = Local.LoopReturns.Status;    ReturnStruct.Message = ReturnStruct.Message & "<br>" & Local.LoopReturns.StatusMessage;    Local.LoopCount = Local.LoopCount + 1;   }   While (Local.LoopCount LTE ListLen(Local.ProvisionerStepList) AND NOT Local.LoopError); The problem I'm solving is the ability to call n-provisioning steps pulled from a database so I can allow a non-technical user to modify the provisioners they want run, with a catch that every provisioner returns status and no more provisioners should be run on any one of the provisioner calls failing.   Any help much appreciated!   Best WIshes, Peter ---------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to cfcdev.
