Try adding the returnType attribute to the getAll function as given below:
<cffunction name="getAll" access="remote" returnType="query"> <Cfquery name="allInv" datasource="coldfusionwebscom"> SELECT * FROM Inventory </CFQUERY> <cfreturn invAll> </cffunction> HTH Kumaran -----Original Message----- From: Stephenie Hamilton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 26, 2002 3:07 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Cfc's and undefined variable - why does one work, but not the other I am playing around with some cfc's to get a better grasp of them on MX... Now, one of the methods works fine (category)...one does not (getAll)... Here is the cfc code (inventory.cfc) --------------------- <cfcomponent hint="Inventory functionality"> <!--- list all categories ---> <cffunction name="Category" hint="Get list of categories"> <cfquery name="getCat" datasource="coldfusionwebscom"> SELECT * FROM Category </cfquery> <cfreturn getCat> </cffunction> <!--- get all in inventory table ---> <cffunction name="getAll" access="remote"> <Cfquery name="allInv" datasource="coldfusionwebscom"> SELECT * FROM Inventory </CFQUERY> <cfreturn invAll> </cffunction> </cfcomponent> -------------------------------------------------- Here are the calls to the methods -------------------------------------------- Get the cateogries (category):<br><br><br> <cfinvoke component="Inventory" method="Category" returnvariable="cat"> <cfdump var= #cat#> get all inventory (getall):<br> <br><br> <cfinvoke component="Inventory" method="getAll" returnvariable="InvResult"> <cfdump var= #InvResult#> --------------------------------------------- The category method works fine, shows me all the categories... The getAll does not. It says Error Occurred While Processing Request Variable INVALL is undefined. You can see this here: http://coldfusionwebs.com/mxtest/inventory.cfm What is up with this? They are called the same exact way...the query allINV is returning 212 records..... Any ideas? ~~ Stephenie ______________________________________________________________________ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
