attributecollection

[Carol F]

Hello everyone!

I have a structure named data:

<cfscript>
data = {};
data.from = "fr...@email.com";
data.to = "t...@email.com";
data.type = "plain";
data.subject = "test subject #now()#";
data.body = "test email #hash(now())#";
</cfscript>

I call a function from my coldspring factory and pass information from
this structure. This works:
<cfset APPLICATION.beanFactory.getBean("MailService").mailTo(from =
data.from, to=data.to, type=data.type, subject=data.subject,
body=data.body) />

But, this does not.
<cfset APPLICATION.beanFactory.getBean("MailService").mailTo
(attributecollection = "#data#") />

I get the error "coldfusion.runtime.MissingArgumentException: The FROM
parameter to the mailTo function is required but was not passed in."

How come specifying named parameters work, but when I do
attributecollection, it fails?

What's worse is that I tried the exact same thing with a simple CS
configuration, and it worked! Here's the code that worked:

<cfscript>
data = {};
data.arg1 = "hello";
data.arg2 = "goodbye";

xx = {};
xx.data = data;
xx.do1 = APPLICATION.beanFactory.getBean("test").doStuff(data.arg1,
data.arg2);
xx.do2 = APPLICATION.beanFactory.getBean("test").doStuff
(argumentcollection = data);
</cfscript>
<cfdump var="#xx#" />

So I verified that argumentcollection works, so it must be in the way
I set up my beans, or in the actual CFC code. Where do I start to
troubleshoot?

Hello Carol,

I'd start debugging your cfc, I had a similar problem, ended up being
real dodgy coding in my cfc.

Although this doesn't seem like a ColdSpring specific question... it looks like you want 'argumentCollection', not 'attributeCollection'.

AttributeCollection is for tags.

@Mark, that was it! argumentCollection works! Thanks!
