Hi there,
For a while now, I'm using coldsping & machII in my app, which uses a
standard (= non application specific) AuthenticationService.cfc to do
all its authentication stuff. Works like a charm.
However, today I needed to add some application specific logic, so I
extended AuthenticationService.cfc and referred to the extending cfc in
my services.xml. Now nothing works. :(
There seem to be 2 issues here:
- AuthenticationService.cfc (the original) has an init method that takes
some arguments, which are kindly supplied by coldspring. If I put in
ExtendedAuthenticationService.cfc, which doesn't override the init
method, colspring seems to think there's no more init method and
therefore the arguments aren't provided.
If I override the init method with an init method that contains nothing
but super.init(argumentCollection=arguments), it works again. Though
something tells me I shouldn't have to do this extra step.
- Second issue: every other component that receives
AuthenticationService as an argument from coldspring, doesn't receive
the extended version. I assume there's some type checking going on in
coldspring, before providing an argument. So I guess extended cfc's are
not accounted for here.
Hope someone can help me out here.
Regards,
Ruud Hermans
