Hi Clifford,
There are many different ways to go about this, with many variations. I will
give just one approach.
If you need to tell whether a save was an update or a create, I suggest
modifying the saveHonors() method to return a value that indicates this. For
example:
<cffunction name="saveHonors" access="public" returntype="boolean"
output="false" hint="Return true if create, false if update">
<cfargument name="Honors" type="any" required="true"/>
<cfif val( Honors.getID() ) GT 0 ><!--- Update --->
<cfset getHonorsDAO().update( arguments.Honors ) />
<cfreturn false />
<cfelse><!--- Insert --->
<cfset getHonorsDAO().create( arguments.Honors ) />
<cfreturn true />
</cfif>
</cffunction>
Next, modify your HonorsFormSubmitted method to record the save status and
the saved HonorsBean into the event context:
<cfset var HonorsCreated = "" />
<cfif isValid >
<cfset HonorsCreated = HonorsService.saveHonors(
HonorsBean ) />
<cfset
arguments.event.setValue("HonorsCreated", HonorsCreated ) />
<cfset
arguments.event.setValue("HonorsBean", HonorsBean ) />
<cfset arguments.event.addResult("Success") />
<cfelse>
<cfset arguments.event.setValue("ErrorStruct",
ErrorStruct) />
<cfset arguments.event.addResult("Failure") />
</cfif>
Now, define a controller method called "emailSavedHonors" that uses
arguments.event.getValue("HonorsBean")
and arguments.event.getValue("HonorsCreated") to generate an email. Ideally
the code that actually does the <cfmail> will be in a service CFC retrieved
from ColdSpring, e.g. getModelGlue().getBean( "EmailService"). Remember to
define an <message-listener> for the controller method.
Next, define a private event handler to broadcast the new message:
<event-handler name="EmailSavedHonors" access="private">
<broadcasts>
<message name= "emailSavedHonors" />
</broadcasts>
</event-handler>
Finally, add a result to your existing event handlers to queue this new
event on success:
<event-handler name="SubmitHighSchoolFormData" type="templatedPage">
<broadcasts>
<message name= "HonorsFormSubmitted" />
</broadcasts>
<results>
<result name="success" do="EmailSavedHonors"
/>
<result name="success"
do="HighSchoolApplicationResponse" />
<result name="failure" do="highschool" />
</results>
</event-handler>
With all that in place, your HonorsFormSubmitted controller method should
put all the data needed for emailing into the event context, and the event
handler should queue one event to send the email and another event to return
a response to the client.
We'll be here if you have any further questions. Good luck!
