Application cfc - normal request or web service?

Hi, Is there any way that the processing (e.g. OnRequestStart) can know about the request to figure out if it is a web service call (calling a component as a web service) or a normal/plain .cfm request? I guess one can always parse this from the CGI path variables - just curious if anyone knew about any more "clean" way...

This will only return true for web service calls to be clear there are other ways of calling a CFC via HTTP that this will return false, AMF for example (which Mark was just showing me last night this lovely example). Fusebox just looks at the extension in the target page in OnRequestStart:     <!--- ensure CFC / Web Service / Flex Remoting calls are not intercepted --->         <cfif right(arguments.targetPage,4) is ".cfc">             <cfset doCompile = false />             <cfset structDelete(variables,"onRequest") />             <cfset structDelete(this,"onRequest") />         </cfif> Adam On Fri, Nov 28, 2008 at 5:52 PM, Jochem van Dieten <jochemd@gmail.com>wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more ----- Works if called inside the webservice CFC ... unfortunately doesn't work if called from outside the CFC, such as in the onRequestStart.

(CFMX8) Cheers, Hugo

because http:/host/testobject.cfc?method=testfunction request is NOT invoking a web service. Azadi Saryev Sabai-dee.com http://www.sabai-dee.com/ Hugo Ahlenius wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----
