Matt,
Thanks for your reply.
Pretty much everything you listed below is correct. What I did not
know is the isPersisted flag is what tells transfer to insert or
update. I assumed since my clientID was in the event, and the
populateBean() method was setting it (which I confirmed), that since I
had a non-zero value in the clientID of the object, transfer would do
the update. For the heck of it, I did try and setIsPersisted("true")
but it errored out.
So the solution was to use:
oClientBean = oService.getClient(event.getValue("id", 0));
For the purpose of the archives, I was trying out the PU 36 templates
that come with coldbox, and this code was from the doSave() method.
Thanks
