Can't find a service?

[Jamie Jackson]

In a controller function, I've got this call:

variables.fw.service( "nameservice.save", "data" );

I intend for this to correspond to services/nameservice.cfc, "save" method.

However, I'm getting:

Detail To have the execution of this service be conditional based upon its existence, pass in a third parameter of 'false'.

Message Service 'nameservice.save' does not exist.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Jamie

try variables.fw.service("name.save", "data");

"service" is not needed when specifying the name of the service - that's part of the convention used in FW/1.

Okay, thanks for that.

Here's what I've got going on now:

Controller:

variables.fw.service( "name.saveFirstName", "data" );

Then, in the service (which no longer causes the above line to throw an error), I've got a saveFirstName function, which has a dump in it. I can't get that method to get called. It's like FW/1 isn't calling it, but it's not throwing an error, either.

I also put in an onMissingMethod() with a dump in that, as well, just to see if I had some function naming problem. No dice there, either.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jamie

Services can't output anything so unless you have an abort after the
dump (to stop the request and show debug output) you won't see it.

Also bear in mind fw.service() _queues_ the call, it doesn't happen
until the controller method is finished.

Thanks, Sean. I do have an abort immediately after the dump:

Hmm, does that mean that I can't base some branching off of the result of the service call in the same controller that called it? If so, what's the right/alternate way to do the following? (See highlighted lines.)

If you are queuing up service methods utilizing the framework, then you cannot run conditional statements within the same controller method. You would need to run your service calls in your startItem controller method and then run conditional statements in your endItem method. Most people now are opting to not use implicit service calls managed by the framework. Instead they are choosing to either manage their own bean factory or utilize a DI framework such as ColdSpring or DI/1.

Okay, I understand, thanks. ColdSpring was the next step, anyway, so I'll get on that now.
