Oh! So you're handling the cfwddx serialization yourself in the cfc...
hmmm. Not being familiar with wddx, I wasn't aware it was that simple.
Pretty cool. I still think I want to use AjaxCFC (personally), but it's
cool to know that this is do-able. Though, using this method I'd still
have to modify the CFCs that I want to use. And if I wanted to use them
from a non-Ajax-y type call, then I'd have to write code to handle that.
The nice thing about AjaxCFC is that I can use my CFC as-is without
modification (well... except that they have to extend ajax.cfc...). :o)
Thanks for sharing your methods Andy! :o)

Just so you know, you CAN use jQuery to hit the CFC directly. Here's a
sample of code I'm using:
js code:
function addRecipe(id) {
$.get("includes/q.cfc?method=addRecipe&id=" + id,function(result){
eval( 'var ' + result );
$('#shoppingList').html(r.content);
});
};
CFC:
<cffunction name="addRecipe" access="remote" returntype="void"
hint="Adds a recipe to your shopping list">
<!--- set parameters for arguments --->
<cfargument name="id" required="Yes" type="numeric">
<cfset myStruct = structNew()>
<cfif NOT ListFind(SESSION.grocerylist,id)>
<cfset SESSION.grocerylist = ListAppend(SESSION.grocerylist,id)>
</cfif>
<cfset myStruct["content"] =
Replace(getShoppingList(),"#chr(13)#","","ALL")>
<cfwddx action="CFML2JS" input="#myStruct#" toplevelvariable="r">
</cffunction>

I like that with AjaxCFC, I don't have to reinvent the wheel and can
instead use my CFCs directly. True I can still use them, but I've got
to have jQuery's in-built ajax methods call a .cfm page which in turn
calls my cfc. I'd like to cut out the middle man and go directly to
the CFC. Thanks to Rob's hard work on AjaxCFC I can do this.

Hi Andy... are you referring to the one that returns a wddx packet from the
cfc using the $.get() directly? As for AjaxCFC, I think I just like the
thought of having the extra layer of Error Trapping and Security Check
features for CFCs that Rob put in place. What's your thoughts?
Thanks, Andy.

Have you seen how easy it is to access a CFC directly using jQuery? Dirt
simple.

Paul, on simple data retrieval, I find pure jQuery's $.ajax(), $.post(),
and
$.get() more than sufficient especially when used with .cfm files.
AjaxCFC's however would be my preference when I need to invoke my cfc's...
of course when its out of alpha. As Rey said, it's a case-by-case. My
.02
Paul.

That's exactly what I'm looking for, Rey. I've already got my feet
wet with jQuery's UI tools, so it sounds like AjaxCFC may be a great
way to handle the Ajax stuff.
Thanks for the insight.

Hi Paul,
I'm so used to doing things sans AjaxCFC for jQuery that I would
probably stick with straight jQuery since its what I'm most accustomed
to and I love having greater control over how things are handled.
But I'm very torn because Rob's done a GREAT job of abstracting jQuery
via AjaxCFC and the functionality he's included such as serialization
(js, json & wddx), logging, and CF-based error reporting really
attractive.
So I'd really have to evaluate things on a case by case basis. I don't
think you can go wrong by using AjaxCFC, especially in the beginning
where it may make using jQuery much easier for Ajax call manipulation.
Remember that AjaxCFC isn't there to help you with UI controls or DOM
manipulation. Its biggest feature is the ability to access CF data
types easily and work with them during an XMLHttpRequest. You're still
going to have to dig into the jQuery API in order to handle non-Ajax
functionality.

Thanks Rey, I found the jQuery example code in the SVN branch.
I know you've been pretty excited about jQuery for a while now--your
mention
of it on the HOF CF list is why I picked it up. Since the AjaxCFC
change
is
still in Alpha you obviously haven't been using it up to this point
but
I
wonder if you were to start a new project now, would you adopt
AjaxCFC
or
just do things the way you have been? I need to start on the
server-
side
implementation of a project and want to make an informed decision if
I can...
Thanks again.

Hey Paul,
I talked to Rob Gonda about the demos and they should be updated to
jQuery v1.1.1. As Chris mentioned, when you download it from
RIAForge, it should have updated demos. Are they missing?
Rey....

About 2 weeks Rey Bango posted that AjaxCFC had been updated to

been
updated to reflect the change. Since I'm too inexperienced to

my
way through it properly, can anybody point me to some basic
getting-started information regarding ajaxCFC and jQuery together?
