porting an application over from Adobe ColdFusion 9, getting an unusual Object type cast error

[scott.st...@hq.dodea.edu]

Hey all,

 

I'm porting an application over from Adobe ColdFusion 9. In the application I have a web service call. In the CFC, I have this small bit of code that calls the init method of the CFC in the event that the datasources don't exist in the variables scope of the CFC.

Here's the calling code:

<cfif not StructKeyExists(variables, "dsn")>
         <cfset local.dsn="CCMA">
            <cfset local.dodaacDSN = "DODEA">
         <cfset init(local.dsn, local.dodaacDSN)>
 </cfif>

 

and here's the init() method:

 

<cffunction name="init" access="public" returntype="c.ccmaService">
        <cfargument name="dsn" type="string" required="yes">
        <cfargument name="dodaacDSN" type="string" required="yes">

 

        <cfset variables.dsn = arguments.dsn>
        <cfset variables.dodaacDSN = arguments.dodaacDSN>

 

       <cfreturn this>

</cffunction>

 

the above code snippet returns the following error when it calls the init() method

"the function init has an invalid return value , can't cast Object type [Component CCMA.controller.ccmaService] to a value of type [c.ccmaService]"   c.ccmaService is a mapping created in the Application.cfc. I'm wondering what I'm missing here... Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Scott Stewart DoDEA

Just a hunch without seeing the code for the component itself but it looks like the returnType of the init function doesn't match the name of the component. Maybe try changing the returnType to just "ccmaService" without the "c." in front of it?
