[CFCDev] application.cfm and cfc's

[Tony Weeg]

Title: Message

yah!

i understand.

 

now, does the Application.cfm file get processed before cfc's get processed.

 

i have application.cfm with my site wide dsn's established in there.

i reference said dsn variable, and its spitting up, saying its not defined?

 

weird.

The CFC _does_ do validation, but it _wants_ to throw an error. What I mean is that my code in the method looks like this (PSEUDO-code!)

 

 

function register(username,password) {

 

    if this user exists, cfthrow

 

}

 

There is no need for a cftry/catch inside because I _want_ an error to occur. Make sense?

so you do not put the cftry/cfcatch block in the cfc, you wrap it around the call to it....any reason?

Yes. For example, I have a register method of my User CFC that allows me to register a new user. It will throw an error if the user already exists. For security reasons, I don't expose my userExists method. So I just wrap the call to register w/ try catch.

 

 

  <!--- Attempt to register --->
  <cftry>
   <cfinvoke component="cflib.cfcs.user" method="register">
    <cfinvokeargument name="username" value="#form.emailAddy#">
    <cfinvokeargument name="password" value="#form.password#">
   </cfinvoke>
   <cfcatch>
    <cfset errorMsg = cfcatch.message>
   </cfcatch>
  </cftry>

now do you wrap your in-cfc cfml code in cftry/cfcatch block to further prevent and trap errors?
