I'm trying to use ColdBoxProxy to dispatch an event...
Code to dispatch the event:
4: <cfset coldboxproxy = createObject
("component","folder.coldBox.coldboxproxy")>
5: <cfset arguments["event"] = "ehGeneral.process">
6: <cfset results = coldboxproxy.process(argumentCollection=arguments)
Error message generated:
Error Occurred While Processing Request
ColdBox Controller Not Found
The coldbox main controller has not been initialized
The error occurred in D:\Inetpub\Wwwroot\coldbox\system\util\Util.cfc:

AppMapping is set. I've tried fwreinit.
Also tried loading ColdBox before calling the process method:
<cfset coldboxproxy.loadColdBox("../coldBox","../coldBox/config/
coldbox.xml.cfm")>
Error message generated:
The selected method getSetting was not found.

("ApplicationStartHandler"),true)>

So, any idea what I'm doing wrong here? Should the proxy even have to
call the loadColdBox method? Any input would be appreciated...
Hi,
The idea of the proxy, is that it must be located where your application resides so the application.cfc fires first. Basically, you are trying to simulate a remote call and will have to do more work because you are creating the proxy yourself and not coldfusion. The proxy is meant to be called remotely via remoting or web services because then the CF engine can execute the Application.cfc and make sure the application is up and running.
If you would like simulate this, you will have to do more work and several ways you can try.
- Create the Application.cfc object first and execute the method “reloadChecks()” so it can check for loads.
- Call your proxy and execute.
Second Approach,
Create the proxy object, load the coldbox application via loadColdbox, then execute a method on it. Just make sure that you have something in application scope which simulates the app.

I need to spend some more time on this, but so far:
I tried loading coldbox in "folder\application.cfm":
<cfif Not IsDefined("Application.coldbox")>
<cfset Application.coldbox = createObject
("component","folder.coldbox.application")>
<cfset Application.coldbox.reloadChecks()>
</cfif>
I've also tried in "folder\testing\test.cfm"
<cfset coldbox = createObject("component","folder.coldbox.application")
<cfset coldbox.reloadChecks()>
<cfset coldboxproxy = createObject
("component","folder.coldbox.coldboxproxy")>
<cfset arguments["event"] = "ehGeneral.process">
<cfset results = coldboxproxy.process(argumentCollection=arguments)>
Both result in:
"The setting RegisteredHandlers does not exist.
FWSetting flag is false
The error occurred in D:\Inetpub\Wwwroot\coldbox\system\util\Util.cfc:
line 25"
Great framework... Thanks for responding...
Steve,
Are you trying to do a remote call from another application or...?
Can you be more specific what you're trying to achieve.
You can avoid the cfc part by just doing an HTTP call using CFHTTP.
so... http://myserver.com/mycoldboxapp/coldboxproxy.cfc?method=process&event=ehGeneral.process
..or http://myserver.com/mycoldboxapp/?event=ehGeneral.process

You are not configuring the application property so it cannot find the directories to load the handlers, etc.
You need to not only create the app but pass in the application mapping and configuration file locations (optional).
