{
// Get the data
Map data = cfmsg.getData();
boolean status = true;
if (data != null)
{
// create an event
CFEvent event = new coldfusion.eventgateway.CFEvent(gatewayID);
//set the event field values
event.setGatewayType("CFMLGateway");
event.setOriginatorID("CFMLGateway");
event.setData(data);
// send it to the event service
status = gatewayService.addEvent(event);
}
return new Boolean(status).ToString();
}
