The more I venture into OO type of design the more I have to get my head around todays its "getters and setters". I think I am 'getting' in to the swing of this but I could do with some advice please! any advice and help is welcome!
I have no idea if I am just making this up as I go along anymore lol! I have a ColdBox application which I am trying to learn ColdSpring with, so I have ColdSpring setup I need to it use...here how it went I wanted to do some basic validation on a form and check if the user exists in the DB. Below is my code, from my understanding. Right or wrong? var rc = event.getCollection();//RC Reference var userBean = variables.adminUsersService.createAdminUserBean(); //Create adminUserBean var errors = userBean.validateUser(rc);//Check For Validation Errors if (NOT ArrayLen(errors)){//No Validation Errors getPlugin('beanFactory').populateBean(userBean); resultCount = variables.adminUsersService.validateCredentials(userBean); //Check Login Credentials Does User Exist? if (resultCount.IDEXISTS eq 1){ //do login } else { getPlugin("messagebox").setMessage("error", "Sorry, Username/Password not found."); } } else {//We Have Validation Errors Show The User A Message getPlugin("messagebox").setMessage("error", "<b>The Following Validation Errors Occurred:</b><br />",errors); } Few questions. Is what I am doing OK? service <-- passes in the admin bean needs the gateway gateway < -- my sql only acced from the service admin.cfc <--- getters and setters, right? correct right? what are the benefits of me create the userBean above passing that into the getPlugin('beanFactory').populateBean(userBean); then using it and not the direct gateway? -------------------- my service <!---gets the gateway so it can be access via the service layer---> <cffunction name="setadminUsersGateway" access="public" returntype="void" output="false"> <cfargument name="adminUsersGateway" required="true" type="salesMaxx.model.adminUsersGateway" /> <cfset variables.adminUsersGateway = arguments.adminUsersGateway /> </cffunction> <!---creates the AdminUser Bean---> <cffunction name="createAdminUserBean" access="public" returntype="salesMaxx.model.adminUsers" output="false"> <cfset var bean = createObject('component','salesMaxx.model.adminUsers').init(createUUID()) /> <cfreturn bean /> </cffunction> <cffunction name="validateCredentials" access="public" returntype="any" output="false"> <cfargument name="bean" type="salesMaxx.model.adminUsers" required="true" /> <cfset result = variables.adminUsersGateway.existsAdminUsers(arguments.bean) /> <cfreturn result /> </cffunction> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
