"Creating Custom Event Gateways" in ColdFusion MX Developer's Guide
Parameters
Parameter
msg
Returns
True if the event was added to the gateway services queue for delivery, false, otherwise. Therefore,
a true response does not indicate that the message was delivered.
Usage
The event gateway must use this method to send incoming messages to the application for
processing.
Example
The following example from the ColdFusion MX SocketGateway code sends an event to all
listener CFCs:
for (int i = 0; i < listeners.length; i++) {
String path = listeners[i];
CFEvent event = new CFEvent(gatewayID);
Hashtable mydata = new Hashtable();
mydata.put("MESSAGE", theInput);
event.setData(mydata);
event.setGatewayType("SocketGateway");
event.setOriginatorID(theKey);
event.setCfcMethod(cfcEntryPoint);
event.setCfcTimeOut(10);
if (path != null)
event.setCfcPath(path);
boolean sent = gatewayService.addEvent(event);
if (!sent)
log.error("SocketGateway(" + gatewayID + ") Unable to put message on
event queue. Message not sent from " + gatewayID + ", thread " +
theKey + ".
}
