[coldbox 4.1] Hybrid Fusebox App

[brett]

Hello,

I'm looking into moving our legacy application written in FB5 into the Coldbox framework a section at a time and am having a problem with not being able to see output from a coldbox request.  The general setup I went with is to put our coldbox code in a subfolder underneath the existing app like so:

-FB5App

--_coldbox

----handlers

----layouts

----model

----view

--controller

--model

--view

--Application.cfc

--index.cfm

We have set up a very basic hello world page in the coldbox app.  We are also bootstrapping the CB framework in the application.cfc.  Our 'onRequestStart()' method looks like this:

<cffunction name="onRequestStart" returnType="boolean" output="No">
<cfargument type="String" name="targetPage" required=true/>
 <!---
 Provide us a way to do some manual initialization
 --->
 <cfif IsDefined("url.refreshApp")>
 <cfset onApplicationStart()/>
 </cfif>
 
 <!---
 Relocate user to index.cfm if they aren't already going there
 --->
 <cfsilent>
 <cfif right(cgi.script_name, Len("index.cfm")) NEQ "index.cfm" AND right(cgi.script_name, 3) NEQ "cfc">
 <cflocation url="index.cfm" addtoken="no">
 </cfif>
 </cfsilent>
 
 <cfset request.bypass_fusebox = false/> <!--- variable used to bypass fusebox processing in index file --->
 <cfif StructKeyExists(url,'cbevent') or StructKeyExists(form,'cbevent')>
 <!---// Process ColdBox Request--->
 <cfset application.cbBootstrap.onRequestStart( arguments.targetPage )/>
 <!--- set variable that will bypass fusebox code in the index file --->
 <cfset request.bypass_fusebox = true/>
 </cfif>
 
 <cfreturn true>
</cffunction>

In our index.cfm I have this:

<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="no">

<cfif not request.bypass_fusebox>
 <cfinclude template="fusebox5.cfm">
</cfif>

Basically what I'm doing is checking to see if I have a URL/Form variable called 'cbevent' (the eventName setting has been configured in coldbox.config) and if I do  i process the the request using Coldbox and if not I process using Fusebox.  However when I call my main.home event I get no output from the request.  I know CB is processing the event because if I put a 'cfabort' in the Main.cfm layout file I can see the output from my view.  I have to be missing something simple?

Thanks.

Turns out I was missing something simple.  To anybody trying to do this or anyone using a tag based application.cfc,, the 'output' attribute of the 'onRequestStart' method should be set to Yes/True.
