setNextEvent and Pass Request Collection?

Communities ColdBox HMVC
1

Hi,

I am using Coldbox 3.x M5.

I am using this code in my event handler to send the user to a
confirmation page.

<cfset setNextEvent(event="ehMain.dspConfirmation") />

I'd like to know how I can pass the whole request collection structure
to this page. Basically I want to redisplay some data on this page as
opposed to querying my database to get it. I tried using the
"persist" attribute and it works, but I have to provide a comma
delimited list of values which will work, but I'd rather just pass in
a struct.

1. How can I pass in a struct if at all?

2. How can I read the data on the other side? I've heard of this
Flash Ram, but I'm not sure if that is what it's meant for.

Any help appreciated

Thanks!

  1. This is a perfect use case for the flash. You can put the data into the flash with a certain key and on other side, you’d check to see if the flash had that key. If it does, then you’d get the data. There is even a “persistRC()” method that may be useful to you. Play around with it. Docs have some examples.

Haven't tried this out, but thanks, looks promising. I will read the
doc.
