Parameters
getGatewayType
, “CFML CFEvent structure” on page 1004 , “CFEvent class” in Chapter 45,
“Creating Custom Event Gateways” in ColdFusion MX Developer’s Guide
Usage
For the sake of consistency, use the same name in this method and in the Type Name field when
you add the event gateway type in the ColdFusion MX Administrator. Gateway application CFCs
that handle multiple gateway types, such as those in an instant messaging application that handles
multiple instant messaging providers, could use this field to determine the protocol type and any
gateway type-specific actions.
Example
The following code shows the routine from the example JMS gateway that handles incoming
messages. It sets the gateway type to JMS:
public void handleMessage(String msg, String topicName, String msgID) {
coldfusion.eventgateway.Logger log = getGatewayServices().getLogger();
Map data = new HashMap();
CFEvent cfMsg = new CFEvent(getGatewayID());
data.put("msg", msg);
data.put("id", msgID);
cfMsg.setData(data);
cfMsg.setOriginatorID(topicName);
cfMsg.setGatewayType("JMS");
if (sendMessage(cfMsg)) {
log.info("Added message '" + msgID + "' to queue.");
} else {
log.error("Failed to add message '" + msgID + "' to queue.");
}
}
Parameter Description
gatewayType A gateway type identifier.
