new keyword in Railo vs ACF

I am currently checking compatibility between Railo and Adobe ColdFusion. 

 <cfscript>
 param request.objCycle             = new model.cycle();
 ...

Just dies on Railo.

 Message string Invalid Identifier.
Solution

  • This is nothing to do with the new operator, it's to do with param. There's a bug in Railo in that it won't allow for scoped variables in that context. Details here.

    You will have to use this syntax:

    param name="request.objCycle" default="#new model.cycle()#";
