 remote struct function getX() httpMethod="GET" {
  var filterSql = getFilterSql(filters);

When I copy the function from Base.cfc into Comp.cfc ELVIS is working as it is suppose to.By @michaels14629018 You cannot yet be sure. The fact that you no longer get an error when you copy the function to Comp.cfc is not proof that things are working as they should. The code does in fact contain errors besides the null exception. Such errors just might be related to the null exception. In any case, it would help clarify the null problem if you first resolved all other issues.For example, The functions getFilterSql and getX both have return-types. Yet neither contains a return statement. The argument of getFilterSql, filter, is an array, whereas the function uses it as if it were a struct (as @EddieLotter has pointed out) . The function getX uses an undefined variable, filters.
