RE: Application.applicaitonName not avialable in a webservice.
Ahh! Thanks for jump starting my brain. It is indeed in the directory structure but it looks like someone stuck a rogue (empty) application.cfm in the model. Removing it fixes the issue but breaks other stuff. I'll just relocate the webservice (it shouldn't have been where it is anyway) Thanks a lot. .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

Jquery ajax and CFC ioutside webroot
Hi All - Can I use jquery ajax to call a cfc that is located outside the webroot? I tried it but I think it is trying to look for the cfc within web root. How can I get it to point to a cfc outside the webroot? Thanks ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:342952 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Jquery ajax and CFC ioutside webroot
Hello, in your jquery ajax call, just give the full http address of your cfc,
like so :
$.ajax({ url:
'http://www.yoursite.com/cfc/yourCFC.cfc?yourmethodyourargumentsIfAny', type:
POST, dataType:json});
Cheers

Re: Jquery ajax and CFC ioutside webroot
Hi, I don't think I fully understand it : isn't your cfc reachable via a dns or ip? Then I don't know if it's feasible. Are you able to read it within a browser? I mean, to see it's wsdl structure?

You can't do it without some additional code.

Can I use jquery ajax to call a cfc that is located outside the webroot? I tried it but I think it is trying to look for the cfc within web root. How can I get it to point to a cfc outside the webroot? You can't make an HTTP request (which is all that AJAX is really) to something that doesn't have a valid URL and isn't available through the web server. If you want to store things outside your web root, you'll need to create a virtual directory in your web server to make this work. You can invoke CFCs outside the web root from CF code, because CF is installed on your server and can traverse that server's filesystem (unless you've reduced permissions for your CF service).

Re: Database Lookup - Possible with CF?
Ian, All of what you are trying to achieve is possible with CF7, in fact most of what your are trying to do is client side programming, with a little server-side to run the query. Several people here have offered some great pointers and advice, but the fact of the matter is that no one is going to write this for you. There are thousands of blog posts and tutorials on the web for writing CFC's, and probably almost as many on working with CF and Ajax. Switching platforms is the last solution to your problem, a) the cost of overall development of conversion is unnecessary, b) most of the other platforms that I've researched (and that's a lot) will increase overall development time (costing you more money), and c) other platforms aren't going to do it automatically for you either. If this is something you need done quickly (hours), efficiently, and within your current architecture, then I suggest you head over to the cf-jobs list and reach out to a contractor to fulfill your needs (much more cost effective, and makes more business sense).

If you had CF8+ it is easier because of the new tags but it's looking as though I need to go down the OO route via /NET webforms or MVC2 which will be a similar learning curve as trying to get it done in CF7 but would give better long term prospects ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:342958 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
