ColdFusion - java object method call

Question

I\'m trying to get a list of datasources off my server (Yes I am the server owner...this is not a hack).

I think I confused the issue by giving two examples - so I\'m e

Answer 1

dbserv = createobject("java","coldfusion.server.ServiceFactory").getDatasourceService();
dblist = dbserv.getDatasources(); 
writedump(dblist);

This works in ColdFusion. If you are getting securitycredential exception then you need to login as admin like

admin = new cfide.adminapi.Administrator();
admin.login("password","admin");

The following code will not work

dbserv2 = createobject("java","coldfusion.server.DataSourceService");
dblist2 = dbserv2.getDatasources();

And it is rightfully throwing method not found. Mainly because DataSourceService is a java Interface and doesn't have this method implemented. It is implemented by Executive class.

Answer 2

For others who may happen upon this post, another way to do what was wanted, without needing to authenticate with the CF Admin password is to use the getNames() function of the DataSourceService instead of getDatasources. It returns an array of all the datasource names registered on the server.

<cfscript>
    dbserv3 = createobject("java","coldfusion.server.ServiceFactory").getDataSourceService();
    dblist3 = dbserv3.getNames();
</cfscript>

This works on CF11

Answer 3

If you dump your dbserv2 variable you will see that it is not an object, it is a Java Interface, which cannot be instantiated.

To do what you want you need to request the datasource service from the service factory.

<cfscript>
    dbserv2 = createobject("java","coldfusion.server.ServiceFactory").getDataSourceService();

    dblist2 = dbserv2.getDatasources();
</cfscript>
