CFEvent class 

coldfusion.gateway.CFEvent

The Gateway class sends and receives CFEvent instances to communicate with the ColdFusion listener CFC or application. The CFEvent instances correspond to CFML CFEvent structure that ColdFusion application listener CFC methods receive and contain the message structures that ColdFusion application code sends to the gateway.

  • The Gateway notifies ColdFusion of a message by sending a CFEvent instance in GatewayServices.addEvent method.

  • The Gateway receives a CFEvent instance when ColdFusion calls the gateway’s outgoingMessage method.

The CFEvent Class extends the java.util.Hashtable class and has the following methods:
