Event gateways for dummies

tallgal2007 · #1 Jul 18th, 2007, 09:42

Hello,

I am trying to get my head round the concept of event gateways. I have a CFC on my local host in the gateway/cfc folder called weather.cfc. This CFC asks for a user's city, and then calls a weather's webservice to get the weather details for that city.

What I don't know how to do us to use it in my cfm page. Please explain as if you are talking to a two-year old. Thanks.

To help you understand what I am trying to acheive better, my call to the event gateway is as follows:

Code: Select all

<h1>Weather in your city</h1>
<p>This is a test of the weather gateway.</p>
<cfscript>
   status = false;
   props = structNew();
   props.cfcpath="C:\CFusionMX7\gateway\cfc\ecamples\mesnu\weather.cfc";
   props.method="enter";
   props.OriginatorID=CGI.SCRIPT_NAME;
   props.Message="TW13 5JN";
   props.file="gateway_test";
   props.type="warning";
   status = SendGatewayMessage("Weather", props);
   if (status IS True) 
      WriteOutput('Event Message "#props.Message#" has been sent.');
</cfscript>

Really, what I want to get is the value returned by the CFC.
