Hello,

I am using code from Fullcalendar to invoke a CFC. It passes URL vars that I need to access in the CFC. How do I access them?

js code

...

events: "/tools/calendar_portal/calendar.cfc?method=queryEvents&calendarid=21,23&returnformat=plain",

...

more js code

    You're not "accessing a CFC", you're calling a method of the CFC.  When calling a method via an HTTP request, the URL parameters other than the METHOD one are passes to the method as arguments (and accordingly are in the arguments scope).

    Yes you are correct Adam, I am not accesing a CFC, I am calling a Methond. My bad.

    When I try and use the variable that is being passed in the URL to the Method I get an error that says that Argument.myURLvar is not defined.

    method=queryEvents&calendarid=21,23&startDate=29&startMonth=2&startYear=2010&endDate=10&endMonth=4&endYear=2010

    <cffunction name="queryEvents" access="remote">

    <cfargument name="startMonth" required="no">

    <cfoutput>
            #arguments.startMonth#
    </cfoutput>

    </cffunction>

    Error:

    Element STARTMONTH is undefined in ARGUMENTS.

    If the traditional method of linking to a .cfm file which calls the method from the .cfc file is available, that might be a simpler approach.
