The Event Handlers
The event handlers that you will produce for remote interaction are exactly the same as your other handlers, with the exception that they have a return type and return data back to the caller; our proxies. Then our proxies can strong type the return data elements:
Handler:
1
function getCacheKeys(event,rc,prc){
2
    return getCache( rc.cacheProvider ).getKeys();
3
}
4
​
5
function listUsers(event,rc,prc){
6
    prc.data = userService.list();
7
​
8
    if( event.isProxyRequest() ){
9
        return prc.data;
10
    }
11
​
12
    event.setView("users/listUsers");
13
}

Hint The request context has a method called isProxyRequest() which tells the application if the request is coming from a ColdBox proxy.
Proxy:
1
array function getCachekEys(string cacheProvider='default'){
2
    arguments.event = "proxy.getCacheKeys";
3
    return process(argumentCollection=arguments);
4
}
5
​
6
string function getUsersJSON(){
7
    arguments.event = "proxy.listUsers";
8
    return serializeJSON( process(argumentCollection=arguments) );
9
}
