cfAjaxProxy and Mach-II
ColdFusion 8, Mach-IIHere's an easy way to use cfAjaxProxy with a Mach-II application.
First I created a new cfc that extends Application.cfc to gain access to all of the Mach-II features.
Then add a function with access="remote" and list all of the arguments (cfajaxproxy requires all arguments be defined). Next set all the arguments to the form or url scope so that Mach-II can read them. Finally call handleRequest().
<cfcomponent output="false" extends="Application"> <cffunction name="getData" access="remote" output="true" hint=""> <cfargument name="artistID" default=""> <cfargument name="artistName" default=""> <cfset url.event = "user.edit"> <cfset url.artistID = arguments.artistID> <cfset url.artistName = arguments.artistName> <cfset handleRequest()> </cffunction> </cfcomponent>
I'm sure there are cleaner ways but this works and allows easy use of the great cfAjaxProxy tag in a Mach-II application.

Cool idea Sam, and timely for me. I am doing a presentation this week on some of the CF8 ajax stuff and will include this example if you don't mind. I will be sure to give credit. :)

Sam, is the basic idea behind this that your views would then generate the appropriate JSON string to pass back? I am having a mental disconnect on the "return" part of this process.

OK, allow me one more noob-ish question, but would I need to do the JSON serialization "by hand" or is this still automgically handled by cfaxajproxy?
