RE: CFLocation and Passing Complex Data
Hi, You can only pass simple data type (strings, lists, dates) in CFLOCATION, because only strings of text can go in a URL, and structures are complex data types. The way to do this is to use WDDX. First, serialize the structure, then transmit the WDDX packet at the end of the URL. Then you need to deserialize the info once it is on the next page. Here is the code: !--- the page that performs the redirection --- cfwddx action=CFML2WDDX input=#stMemberInfo# output=#wddxMemberInfo# cflocation url=template.cfm?stMemberData=#wddxMemberInfo# !--- the target page --- cfwddx action=WDDX2CFML input=#wddxMemberInfo# output=#stMemberInfo# -Brent -Original Message- From: Yvette Ingram [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 17, 2001 3:44 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: CFLocation and Passing Complex Data Hi: I'm trying to pass complex data (structure in particular), using cflocation, but I'm not able to.

Re: CFLocation and Passing Complex Data
Yvette, wouldn't a simple solution be to store the data in a session
variable then pick it up on the receiving end? You can add a switch
to the querystring if needed.
First template:
cflock scope=session timeout=30 type=exclusive
cfset session.mydata = some_complex_structure
/cflock
CFLOCATION url=template.cfm?readdata=1 addtoken=yes
Second template:
cflock scope=session timeout=30 type=readonly
CFIF isDefined('url.readdata') and isdefined('session.mydata')
cfset some_complex_structure = session.mydata
/CFIF
/cflock

Re: CFLocation and Passing Complex Data
I may be paranoid (actually - I would only be paranoid if people aren't actually trying to break into my machine... I am watching my Blackice Defender graph now - I had 1,500 attacks in the last 90 minutes:), but when i do things like this, I would pass 2 UUIDs through the URL... one is the index into the temporary table, the other is a check - which is also stored in the temporary table. On the second page, I first check that the 2 UUIDs match each other before displaying the data... otherwise, a hacker could set up a loop to take your UUID, and just increment it and keep trying until it finds something. By using 2 UUIDs, that would be impractical. Al Musella, DPM At 07:56 PM 8/17/2001 -0400, you wrote: A simple solution to this URL truncation problem may be to create a table in your database to use a storage repository for the WDDX packet, insert the WDDX packet into the db, and then just pass a UUID through the URL variable, retrieve the wddx packet from the db, and then recreate your structure. ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

The problem is that you're trying to pass something that can't directly be represented as a string (a structure) within a URL string, as if you could type a structure in your browser location field. You could conceivably convert your structure to a WDDX packet, then use the URLEncodedFormat function to allow the WDDX packet to be placed in the URL, but it may very well get truncated if you have too much data in it.

Re: CFLocation and Passing Complex Data
You can only pass simple data as a url parameter not complex such as structs. You could serialize the struct with wddx and then pass the resultant string but you would quite likely exceed the character limits on a url if you had a complex struct.

Re: CFLocation and Passing Complex Data
Thanks I'm going to try to serialize it before it gets to the receiving page and try to deserialize it when it gets there. Normally, I can do this with something like cf_thatpage stMemberData=#StMemberInfo# or cfmodule like cfmodule template=thatpage.cfm stMember=#stMemberInfo#. But it would still keep me in the current template. I need to get out of the template to do this serialize and deserialize, and the only tag I can think of is cflocation, but it can't handle the passing the structure. Thanks to all who responded.

RE: CFLocation and Passing Complex Data
A simple solution to this URL truncation problem may be to create a table in your database to use a storage repository for the WDDX packet, insert the WDDX packet into the db, and then just pass a UUID through the URL variable, retrieve the wddx packet from the db, and then recreate your structure. - Jay -Original Message- From: Don Vawter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 17, 2001 7:36 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CFLocation and Passing Complex Data First Template cfwddx action=CFML2WDDX input=#myStruct# output=packet cflocation url=sometemplate.cfm?packet=#urlencodedformat(packet)# Second template cfwddx action=WDDX2CFML input=#url.packet# output=myStruct myStruct now exists in second template.

Re: CFLocation and Passing Complex Data
This is just a general question to whomever. How do we get around the truncated problem in passing complex data with WDDX or otherwise when using cflocation? We need to pass simple and complex data between templates (perhaps on different directories). Is WDDX the solution? Which tag should we be using? cflocation, cfinclude, cfmodule, cf_somecustometag? Is there something else? I feel like I'm missing something. I'm still a student here :-) Just a question in general. This is not directed at Don.

You could serialize the struct with wddx and then pass the resultant string but you would quite likely exceed the character limits on a url if you had a complex struct. You might consider storing the struct in a session var or storing the serialized struct as a client variable. - Original Message - From: Yvette Ingram [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 17, 2001 4:44 PM Subject: CFLocation and Passing Complex Data Hi: I'm trying to pass complex data (structure in particular), using cflocation, but I'm not able to. The example is like this: cflocation url=template.cfm?stMemberData=#stMemberInfo# The error I'm getting is saying that I can only pass simple data with cflocation. I need to pass complex data. Is this possible to do? Thanks in advance.
