Question
Trouble passing a .net object into a .net function
Summary: I'm creating a .net object
(System.Reflection.BindingFlags) into a function that takes that
argument. However, when I pass that in, CF can't find the correct
function. If I pass a null value, CF finds it just fine, but
because the function really does need a BindingFlags object to
work, the function causing an exception.
Details: I'm attempting to get the IPSecurity settings from an IIS entry. In .Net this is done by grabbing the appropriate IIS object, then getting the "value" of the IPSecurity property. That value is actually an object. I then get the "Type" for that object and can manipulate it using the InvokeMember method associated with "Type" objects. The second parameter it requires is a BindingFlags object. In .net bindingFlags isn't actually an object in the traditional sense, it's an enum (more like a struct) and when I use it properly (BindingFlags.GetProperty) it actually passes an INT. I think part of my problem is that BindingFlags is actually a struct that is getting special treatment from CF (adding a wrapper).
What I'd like: In a perfect world I'd like someone to say: Here is the solution . . .. However, I'd settle for a good way to find out what type of object CF thinks its getting (BTW, I've done a CF dump on my object and it has the correct class).
The code:
<cfobject type=".NET" name="entry" class="System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry" assembly="C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.DirectoryServices.dll" />
<cfset entry.init("IIS://dev03/w3svc/1/root/planitax/testMe")/>
<cfobject type=".NET" name="BindingFlags" class="System.Reflection.BindingFlags" />
<cfset BindingFlags.init() />
<cfset params = ["IPSecurity"] />
<cfset comObj = entry.Invoke("Get", params) />
<cfset comType = comObj.GetType() />
<cfset object = comType.InvokeMember("IPDeny", BindingFlags.GetProperty, javacast("null",""), comObj, javacast("null","")) />
Error:
The InvokeMember method was not found.
Either there are no methods with the specified method name and argument types, or the InvokeMember method is overloaded with argument types that ColdFusion cannot decipher reliably. ColdFusion found 0 methods that matched the provided arguments. If this is a Java object and you verified that the method exists, you may need to use the javacast function to reduce ambiguity.
Trace:
coldfusion.runtime.java.MethodSelectionException: The InvokeMember method was not found.
