If you are not using a content object type you may just have to
cfinclude your display file in the execute method. Your execute method
would probably look something like:
<cffunction access="public" name="execute" output="true">
<cfargument name="objectID" required="Yes" type="uuid"
default="">
<cfargument name="dsn" required="false" type="string"
default="#application.dsn#">
<cfset var stObj = this.getData(arguments.objectid)>
<cfinclude
template="/farcry/#application.applicationname#/#application.path.handle
r#/#stObj.typename#/#stObj.displayMethod#.cfm">
</cffunction>
I just lifted this include statement from the getDisplay method of the
farcry_core/packages/types/types.cfc and modified it slightly to work
directly in the execute method. I haven't tested it, but I think it
should work.
Just out of curiosity, any reason why you are not using a custom type?
Best,
