Use of bean in view

[Tom McNeer]

Hi,

Before you say "you shouldn't be doing that," I know.

I could spend a long time explaining why it would be most expeditious in this particular, narrow case. But it would just confuse things.

So my question is, is there a practical way to access a service bean created from ColdSpring inside a view?

I understand the way "helpers" work, but the bean in question is actually a Java library instantiated with Javaloader via ColdSpring, so it's not as simple as a normal CFC.

I also understand that I could create a parent bean factory with ColdSpring and point M-G to it, and then be able to access beans through something like application.beanFactory.getBean(). But again, there are reasons why I'm trying to avoid that.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Set the ColdSpring bean into the event scope and it'll be there.

Hi Dan,

That makes perfect sense. And it was the first thing I tried.

Why didn't it work? Because I made a mistake I've made many, many times since MG 1.0:

I wrote "argument.event.setValue()" -- "argument," singular, not plural.

I'm still getting errors, but they revolve around some pathing issues and the use of Javaloader and JavaloaderFactory. Sorry to have bothered you.

No problem. We all need a second pair of eyes from time to time.
