So, I'm working through Discovering CFC's and I'm on the chapter where it's
talking about the validator CFC. The book doesn't give you code to test the
validator, but I think it should just run if I create a task object and run
the new method, like so:
<cfset mytask = createobject('component', 'com.techspedition.CFCs.Task')>
<cfset mytask.new("This is the header.", "This is the maker.", "9/13/03")>
I'm getting an error saying that the method "validate" doesn't exist. Here's
the code in question from the task.cfc.
<cfset var v="CreateObject('component', 'Validator')">
<cfset this.header = arguments.header>
<cfset this.maker = arguments.maker>
<cfset this.dateDue = arguments.dateDue>
<cfreturn v.validate(this)>
AND, here's the code from Validator.cfc:
<cfcomponent hint="I am a validator">
<cffunction name="validate" returntype="boolean" output="yes">
<cfargument name="obj" required="yes">
<cfset md= getMetadata(arguments.obj)>
<cfloop from="1" to="#arraylen(md.properties)#" index="i">
<cfset currentProp = med.properties[i]>
<cfif NOT isdefined("obj." & md.properties[i].name)>
<cfreturn false>
</cfif>
<cfif isdefined("currentProp.assert")>
<cfif NOT evaluate(currentprop.assert)>
<cfreturn false>
</cfif>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
<cfreturn true>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
Both are copied right out of the book.... Thoughts on why I'm getting the
error I'm getting?
Thanks.
