RE: CFC Question

2009-09-24 Thread Andy Matthews

Putting CFCs in the App scope is perfectly acceptable. You just have to know
that's where they're stored. With our enterprise app, we store about 2 dozen
CFCs in various scopes. Server, App, Session, etc. Each stored in the scope
most appropriate for it's use. It's helped us save memory, processing, and
offers better performance.

Yeah. I know. I'm not thinking today. Sorry about that. I didn't think it
was that much of an issue.

I think I'm going to use application.cfc and not try to put in CFC's into
the application. It's to frustrating for not enough gain IMHO.

That is litterally all the code in the page. It isn't firing the invoke.

But I have good news. I have been working with fusebox on this (having
double cfc's inthe circuit directory and the root just to be sure) and
it wasn't working.

I moved it over to it's own folder with no fusebox and I'm getting
errors now. So at least I can track it down.

Thanks to all who helped. I didn't think Fusebox would remove the
error messages.

Hey Philip,
Is this literally all the code on the page?

Nothing else?


If so, then, it's working... You just don't have any code to display the
result.

Add this




And remove those numbers from between the invoke tag, just to be safe.

No errors showing up on the screen (Yes, I have debugging on).

You are right. So according to what I am seeing, CF is seeing it and
processing it. Except I never see the 4.

So you're calling  this file from within ColdFusion directly right?

What happens if you create it using CreateObject?

 


Are you getting an error?

So for the meantime, I've put my cfc directory in the web root on the
development server I use.

I have the following code to call the cfc

1

2

3

4

I see the 1, but nothing else (which tells me cfinvoke is not working
right).

The filename is "filename.cfc" and is in the cfc directory (which is
directly off the web root where I'm calling this).

The read function shows the following..



var Data="";

Select *
From Users
Where UserID=#UserID#




Why isn't it working?

Re: cfc question...

2008-06-17 Thread Mike Kear

[A]   One of the good things about cfcs, and its also quite confusing
to the beginner, is that there are several ways to code most of the
things you want to do.

For example, to pass in variables to a method,  you can do it this way:


Or


(In the second case you have to make sure that the name of the
variable being passed in is exactty the same as the argument name at
the top of your method)

The first way of doing it, is less typing, but it requires that you
pass in the arguments in the exact order you have them listed in the
function of your cfc.

If you call the method like this:


then you have to make sure your method in the cfc is written so that
it doesnt fall over if there is no argument passed in.   Normally
you'd give the argument a default value like so:



So if you try to run the method without giving it an agentID, it'll
run using '333' as the value of agentID.

[B] passing in the DSN: if you put your dsn into the application
scope, as in   then your cfc will
work, by simply calling up a query as follows:


SELECT whatever, whatever2, whatever3, FROM tablename


That will work.  But it's considered bad practice, because it is
requiring your cfc to know about the application scope.  If you move
your site around or rebuild some of it ,   you might not have the
datasouce in the application scope any more.(yes i know, I konw -
these are things that hardly ever change, but trust me, this is
definitely good advice)

Instead, you should make sure that your CFC doesnt need to know about
anything in the whole world, apart from what you tell it.  This might
seem a bit esoteric when you're talking about just a datasource name,
but i have build cfcs with 60 or 70 variables they depend on.   Making
sure those puppies are all corralled and in a nice neat row when the
cfc is called is a bugger of a job if they're called from application
scope or request scope.  I found by using that method if i changed
anything in the request scope lots of things broke all around the
place.Instead, i now use a configuration cfc and pass that into
all the cfcs that need any configuration info (one day we'll talk
about how easy it is to let ColdSpring take care of all that for you!)
 and if i change any of the configuration structure, all i have to
make sure is the configuration cfc works correctly and everything else
will work.

So in short while it's not so vital now,  it will become vital one
day.  So just get into the habit of never requiring a cfc to know
anything about its environment.   You'll tell it what it needs to know
when it's instantiated.

So therefore,  if you have your datasource name stored in an
application. variable called application.dsn,  you'd instantiate the
cfc at the top of any page that uses it like this:



[C]  multiple uses of your CFCs.

You are having multiple subdomains arent you?  One for each of your
sales agents. This screams out to me that you're going to have a lot
of similar sites.   That means you're going to be having the same code
in multiple places.  It would be good to see if you cant have the cfcs
in a central place, and available to all the subdomains.That way
you're re-using the code.  That's a good thing becuase there's less
maintenance for you in the future, easier mainetnance,  more
reliability because you dont have dozens of copies of the same
queries, functions etc all over the place.If you can manage to put
your cfcs in a common folder, and available to all the subdomains
you'll make life a LOT easier for yourself in the long run.
Remember that getAgentName() is going to be the same for one agent as
another.   also getAgentCommission() or getAgentSalesAwardBonus()
methods are going to work the same for everyone.  If you have 30
agents to build sites for, you dont want to have 30 copies of those
cfcs scattered about.   What if you make a change to something and
amend 29 of the cfcs and forget one?   If they all share the same cfc,
then change it once and it's changed on all your subdomains.

So here's a site layout i suggest you try:

e:\inetpub\webroot\c21ar\components  (<-- stores al your components,
organised into subfolders if necessary.)
e:\inetpub\webroot\c21ar\components\agents
e:\inetpub\webroot\c21ar\components\admin
e:\inetpub\webroot\c21ar\components\listings
e:\inetpub\webroot\c21ar\components\utilities


e:\inetpub\webroot\c21ar\subdomain1
e:\inetpub\webroot\c21ar\subdomain2
e:\inetpub\webroot\c21ar\subdomain3
e:\inetpub\webroot\c21ar\subdomain4


WIthout playing around with it, I'm not sure exactly how this would
impact your instantiating your cfcs.  you might need to get a mapping
pointing to e:\inetpub\webroot\c21ar\components   It all depends if
your web server will treat the webroot in a page called in your
subdomain as   e:\inetpub\webroot\c21ar\subdomain1  or
e:\inetpub\webroot\c21ar  . But if your web server treats the web
root as e:\inetpub\webroot\c21ar, then no matter which subdomain a cfc
is called from, you'd call it like t

I assume the parenthesis are empty because no arguments

However, if I wanted to get a particular agent's info:

2008-06-17 Thread Jason Durham

You don't *have* to use cfinvoke.  I prefer not to.

Once you have instantiated (created an instance of it in memory) the
object like you wrote below... you can 'invoke' any of the methods by
calling them via the object instance name.









Agent Name = DB_FIELD_AGENT_NAME 


Soon you will find the answer to all of your questions regarding OOP or
CFCs will be "it depends".  What does your agentLibrary CFC do?  If your
agentLibrary CFC interacts with a database (as you have indicated), then
what you're doing is correct.  Set a variable to hold your DSN/DB
credentials, and reference that variable when instantiating any
components that have to access the DB.

>>You have to provide an _absolute_ path to a component via

You can get around that by doing something like this








CreateObject("component", "#YourPathToCFCDir#YourOtherCFC")

RE: cfc question...

2008-06-16 Thread Jason Durham

Ah... you were trying to use a relative path (../folder/cfcs/etc).
No-can-do. You have to provide an _absolute_ path to a component via
 and createObject() using dot notation.

Yes, I did get it, finally, Jason.  Thanks to you and everyone
who has given advice!  I've got a lot to think about and consider
making the change from .cfm and includes to cfc's, but I'm off to
a good start, I think.  The first step for me is to get something
*simple* to work and then to build my knowledge from there.

What was complicating my path problem was the fact that the main website
has a component folder and a certain webroot.

The folder that is holding the templates for the subdomains is also the
webroot folder for those subdomains.

I was trying to use the components in the main website's folder, which
is
above the subdomain folder (webroot folder for subdomains) in the folder
hierarchy.  That wasn't working.

I think what I had to understand is that the "dot" notation and paths
for the cfc's is logical, not "physical".  I was trying to figure out
some
way to jump back up two folder levels and down one to get into the
main website component folder...wasn't working.

I finally just created a component folder in the subdomain root folder
and then I could easily access it.

Does my "newbie" confusion make any sense?

Re: cfc question...

2008-06-16 Thread Carl Von Stetten

Rick,

A CF Admin mapping would be a reasonable approach.  For example, you 
might create a mapping "/c21ar_cfcs" (or whatever you want to name it) 
that points directly to e:\inetpub\webroot\c21ar\components.  Then, 
anywhere you need to access the CFC, you would use "c21ar_cfcs.agent".  
Or in your case:



HTH,
Carl

Did you get it straightened out Rick?  Azadi gave you what you need.
You need to explicitly call the component using a path from the web root
(dot notation).

>From Azadi's email...


For your situation...

Subject: RE: cfc question...

I looked over the info and I'm sure I'll end up doing that,
but I still have to execute the code at some point, which leads
me back to the question of how to set up paths for the cfc's.

Let's say I've got a root folder of
e:\inetpub\webroot\c21ar
and a component folder path of
e:\inetpub\webroot\c21ar\components

How do I set the path when using the cfinvoke function?
All the examples I've used have the cfc in the same folder as
the calling document, so it hasn't been an issue.

Now that it is, I can't figure out how to satisfy the cfinvoke
function concerning the path to a cfc other that in the same folder
as the calling document.

I tried the "source" attribute in the cfinvoke function, but that
just returned an error any way I coded it.

CF Admin Mappings?  IIS Mappings?  Virtual Directories?
I know this is probably something simple, but I'm just not getting it.

Hints, anyone?

Thanks,

Rick

RE: cfc question...

2008-06-16 Thread Rick Faircloth

Alright... I finally got a path to work.

I put a components directory in the main subdomain folder
with a a cfc called "agents.cfc"

I used this path to access it:

cfinvoke component = "components.agents"

Whew... that was driving me nuts!

I originally wanted to use the component folder in the root
of the main app, instead of creating an additional components folder
in the agents folder (which is the root folder for all the subdomains),
but I couldn't get that to work... probably because the main app
component folder is out of the path of the subdomains.

Don't know if that correct or makes any sense, but whatever... I've got
a path working!

It's 1:23am on the east coast here in the U.S. and I'm sleepy and going to bed!
(But I'll sleep soundly now!)

Thanks, everyone!

Rick

Re: cfc question...

2008-06-16 Thread Mike Kear

Ok syntax error  forgot the closing quotes.   Make that:

And usually at the top of an object like that (if it's for the kinds
of things i think it is) you would have an init() functionthat you
tell the component the datasource name. That looks something like:

It seems a bit of extra typing to have that at the top of your cfc,
but for reasons of encapsulation (sorry for using the jargon!)  its
best to have the cfc so that if it needs to know something you'll tell
it, rather than have it rely on finding what it needs in application
or session scope or something.So if you have that init() function
in your component, you'd instantiate it by chaining the .init() method
when you invoke it.  ( You can chain methods one behind the other )

Throughout your cfc, wherever any function needs to run a query on the
datasource, it will do it like so:

   SELECT AgentID from Agents
  WHERE  GRPOffCE = 

That way you can easily reuse the component without having to need the
datasource to exist in application scope or anywhere else for that
matter.  The cfc needs to know the datasourcename so you tell it that
when you instantiate the cfc.

Re: cfc question...

2008-06-16 Thread Mike Kear

I think you're nearly there, Rick.Just make sure you are following
the rules about how to set out paths for components:

if your component is in
e:\inetpub\webroot\c21ar\components\agents\agent.cfc   and the web
root is at e:\inetpub\webroot\c21ar,  then you would invoke the
component with the following: ("Instantiate" is another term that
confused me at first - how is 'instantiate' different from'invoke'?
answer:  it's the same thing)

Note the following:

[A] the component does not have .cfc as part of its name in the
createobject function.
[B] the path to the component is either a relative path from the page
calling it, or from the web root.Best to use the path from the web
root that way if you ever move the pages calling the components
around, they'll still work.
[C]  the path is expressed in dot notation, not using slashes.

Re: cfc question...

2008-06-16 Thread Mike Kear

I havent seen that article, but I would suggest you put your cfcs in
their own area, since you want to re-use them as easily as possible.
(Thats one of the big benefits of CFCs).

so I'd put them in
e:\inetpub\webroot\c21ar\components\sales
e:\inetpub\webroot\c21ar\components\agents
e:\inetpub\webroot\c21ar\components\properties

or whatever seems logical.That way you have all your cfcs in
logical areas of the site,  and its' easy to find them when your site
starts to grow.(And if your client is the client i think it is,
it's going to grow!! - i have the same client elsewhere in the world)

At the top of your page, you make sure the component exists on that
page with something like this:

Then further down the page, any time you want to use a function that
is inside the agent.cfc all you have to do is call it, and give it the
variables it needs to know.   (Or more properly, all you have to do is
invoke that method, and give it the arguments it needs to know).

Such as:

Yes, that's a good explanation of the encapsulation perspective
and code.

See the message I just posted for even more basic info on trying
to help a cfinvoke function locate a cfc.  Unless I put it in the
same folder as the calling page, I get an error saying it can't be
found no matter how I try to set up a path using the "source" attribute, etc.

RE: cfc question...

2008-06-15 Thread Rick Faircloth

I looked over the info and I'm sure I'll end up doing that,
but I still have to execute the code at some point, which leads
me back to the question of how to set up paths for the cfc's.

Let's say I've got a root folder of
e:\inetpub\webroot\c21ar
and a component folder path of
e:\inetpub\webroot\c21ar\components

How do I set the path when using the cfinvoke function?
All the examples I've used have the cfc in the same folder as
the calling document, so it hasn't been an issue.

Now that it is, I can't figure out how to satisfy the cfinvoke
function concerning the path to a cfc other that in the same folder
as the calling document.

I tried the "source" attribute in the cfinvoke function, but that
just returned an error any way I coded it.

CF Admin Mappings?  IIS Mappings?  Virtual Directories?
I know this is probably something simple, but I'm just not getting it.

Hints, anyone?

Thanks,

Rick

Re: cfc question...

2008-06-15 Thread Mike Kear

Rick, I'm delighted to see you starting to work with the power of
CFCs.   I also had the same confusion as you did at first.  The
terminology for some of these OO concepts gets a bit confusing, so
perhaps i can help you by expressing some of the ideas related without
using the teminology.

Perhaps it might help to see your code with notation for the same thing. ..

Here you're naming a query variable "agent_info", and it's being
populated with records from a function called agent.get_agent_into()
which has been given the parameter #url.agent_id#.That's exactly
equivalent to your code:

 (Although you dont need the hash signs around the url variable, so it
would more properly be expressed:   )

Compare this to something you've been using for a long time already like:

You dont need to know how dateformat goes about its business of
transforming your variable in order to use it.  All the work is done
inside the function dateformat().  It's the same inside your function
agent.get_agent_info()

Now the function get_agent_info() has a limited number of things it
needs to know, and doesnt care about the rest of the world.   All it
wants to know is the agent_id it has to look up, and the datasource
name.It doesnt care about anything else, nor should it either.
This is the concept of 'encapsulation' which means briefly, that each
function has a specific thing it does, and it shouldnt know (or need
to know) anything except what you tell it.

That's just like the function dateformat() that you've been using
since you started with ColdFusion so long ago.  It doesnt know what
you're using the date for, where the date came from or anything else.
All it knows is you give it a date object and it gives you back a
string.

Does that help you?

There is nothing lame about it (you gotta stick them somewhere). What he
means is that you are going to want to stick them in memory (the application
scope) cuz there is a lot of overhead with firing them up (instantiating or
creating an instance of them) every time you need to use them. Basically you
are caching them.

You can do the same thing with functions too. It is pretty damn slick. I

Rick, I mostly initialize them in application scope in Application.cfc

Like this:

 

Then build a constructor in your cfc like so:


  
  
  


Once you do all that, it's ready to use anywhere in the application. 

Just refer to it using the application scope:



Puttin it in a cfc's directory is lame, but I'm sure more advice will roll in

invoke your agents.cfc as "c21-ar.components.agents"
cf expects a path from web root if the component is not in same folder.

RE: cfc question...

2008-06-15 Thread Rick Faircloth

Thanks for the reply, Brian.  I see what you mean about the
"agnosticism" of the view.

Thanks, also, for the tip on handling the session variables.
and the rest of the comments.

Another issue I've run into is how to help my calling page find
my cfc's.  While learning, I've just placed the cfc in the same
folder as the calling page.  But now I'm placing them in a components
folder and the calling page can't find it.

My current folder structure is a little strange because I have
a folder for subdomain templates inside main site's folder.

So I have my main site in this structure:
e:\inetpub\webroot\c21-ar\index.cfm

There is also a 'components' folder at:
e:\inetpub\webroot\c21-ar\components

My subdomains main folder is at:
e:\inetpub\webroot\c21-ar\agents

How can I run this page:
e:\inetpub\webroot\c21-ar\agents\index.cfm

and have it call a cfc at:
e:\inetpub\webroot\c21-ar\components\agents.cfc

???

Do I need to set up mappings in CF Admin or create a virtual
directory in IIS, perhaps?  I've tried numerous approaches,
but nothing has worked.

Thanks, again,

Rick

You should var-scope your query variable. Also, you can't just return 0 if
the query has no data, since you have specified the return type as "query"
and 0 is not a query. Finally, the function doesn't need to be
access="remote" unless you plan to call this as a web service or through
AMF.

It's actually not counter-intuitive. Your calling code does not and should
not know anything about the internal implementation of your method. So
whatever variable you use within the method is not visible to anything
outside of the method. This is encapsulation, and it is the most fundamental
principle that underlies OOP. So nothing is actually "renamed"; when you
call the method you are explicitly assigning the result to the variable
"agent_info", the same way you would with any other variable assignment.

This should be handled by the CFC, your views should be as agnostic as
possible about how they are used. If you want to cache this in the session
scope you could do something like:

 select * from our_agents where agent_id = '#arguments.agent_id#'

Which will set the variable into the session scope the first time you call
this method, but will return the value from the session scope for all
subsequent requests within the same session.

Hope that helps,

Brian

Thank Matt, Jim and Dan.

I see where you guys are going with this.

As far as security im not sure how using the array is any better.

I suppose once things are broken out using the array I could then validate the 
data coming in with .

This would keep people from tacking on sub-queries and injecting their own SQL 
statements.

Thanks for the help!

Chad,

 is indeed escaping your single quotes.  You can get around this in
a couple of ways.  The first is to use preserveSingleQuotes() in your
function, like so:

WHERE #preserveSingleQuotes(arguments.criteria)#

While that is a very easy "solution", you will be opening yourself up to all
sorts of security risks.  Therefore, I would strongly urge that you do *not*
use this "solution".

Another solution would be to add an argument that would accept an array, or
an array of structs that would hold your criteria.  Here is a quick example
of what I mean.



   myArray = arrayNew(1);
   myArray[1] = structNew();
   myArray[1].field = "FileName";
   myArray[1].value = "PLATES.zjf";
   myArray[1].quote = true;
   myArray[2].field = "FileModificationDate";
   myArray[2].value = "09/30/2005 12:34:01 PM";
   myArray[2].quote = true;






   WHERE 0 = 0
   
  AND #arguments.criteria[i].field# =
 
'#arguments.criteria[i].value#'
 
#arguments.criteria[i].value#
 
   


Hope that helps.

I want to be able to pass in the "WHERE" statement into it.  So it could be:
FileName = 'PLATES.zjf' AND FileModificationDate = '09/30/2005 12:34:01 PM'

So I run something like this to call the function:



What I get back is an error:

Then I look at the SQL that was run in debugging.
SELECT *
FROM FlexoDirectConfigFiles
WHERE FileName = ''PLATES.zjf'' AND FileModificationDate = ''09/30/2005
12:34:01 PM''

Why did it take my single quotes and add another single quote?  Is it trying
to escape the single quote?  How do I keep it from doing this?

Beaware that if this CFC is to be called remotely, you want to tidy it up by 
having explicit name and modification date parameters, to prevent people 
manipulating the SQL.
Even if not, you should do that anyway, so you can make use of cfqueryparam.

2007-07-18 Thread Dan Vega

Chad,
Here is what I do in that situation. First my select statement by default
will return all rows

SELECT *
FROM FlexoDirectConfigFiles
WHERE 1=1

1 will always be eqal to 1 so this is an easy way of getting all records and
allowing for optional and clauses then you can do this; Pass in optional
arguments to your function. You want to make these arguments not required
that way can pass as many or as few filters to your function as possible.
The code below may not be right I just threw it together quickly, but
hopefully you get the idea.

SELECT *
FROM FlexoDirectConfigFiles
WHERE 1=1

AND column = 

AND column =

My particular way around this is to set a CFC path variable in the application

Or 




Yeah it's extra typing, but is a lot easier to maintain.  If that option is

I have a site on my laptop under Nascar. The CFC directory is Nascar.cfc. On

to SynergyDale or is there a way for me to keep my directory the same name

Re: CFC Question

2007-01-09 Thread Dan Vega

Straight from livedocs
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/buildi12.htm
Specifying the CFC location

When you instantiate or invoke a component, you can specify the component
name only, or you can specify a *qualified* path. To specify a qualified
path, separate the directory names with periods, not slashes; for example,
myApp.cfcs.myComponent specifies the component defined in
myApp\cfcs\myComponent.cfc.

ColdFusion uses the following rules to find the specified CFC.

- If you use a
cfinvokeor

cfobjecttag,
or the

CreateObjectfunction
to access the CFC from a CFML page, ColdFusion searches directories
in the following order:
1. Local directory of the calling CFML page
2. Directories specified on the ColdFusion Mappings page of the
ColdFusion MX Administrator
3. Web root
4. Directories specified on Custom Tag Paths page of the
Administrator

If you specify only a component name, ColdFusion searches each of
these directories, in turn, for the component.

*Note: *If you use only the component name to specify the CFC,
ColdFusion does not search the directories specified in the Administrator on
the ColdFusion Mappings page. If you specify a qualified path that starts
with a mapped directory name, ColdFusion does find the component.

If you specify a qualified path, such as myApp.cfcs.myComponent,
ColdFusion looks for a directory matching the first element of the path in
each of these directories (in this example, myApp). If it finds a matching
directory, it then looks for a file in the specified path beneath that
directory, such as myApp\cfcs\myComponent.cfc relative to each of these
directories.

*Note: *If ColdFusion finds a directory that matches the first path
element, but does not find a CFC under that directory, ColdFusion returns a
not found error and does *not* search for another directory.
- If you invoke a CFC method remotely, using a specific URL, form
field, Flash Remoting MX, or a web service invocation, ColdFusion looks in
the specified path relative to the web root. For form fields and URLs
specified directly on local web pages, ColdFusion also searches relative to
the page directory.

*Note: *On UNIX and Linux systems, ColdFusion MX attempts to match a CFC
name or Custom tag name with a filename as follows: First, it attempts to
find a file with the name that is all lowercase. If it fails, it then tries
to find a file whose case matches the CFML case. For example, if you specify
, ColdFusion first looks
for mycomponent.cfc and, if it doesn't find it, ColdFusion looks for
myComponent.cfc.

Bruce,

Create a mapping in the CF Admin on your local machine for "/ 
SynergyDale" pointing to the "/nascar/" directory.

Then use "SynergyDale.cfc" as your cfc object reference.

You can also do the reverse on the remote server if you wish.

Re: CFC question

2006-09-13 Thread Teddy Payne

Another reason to use the variables scope outside of a method like init()
would be when you extend a CFC from another CFC.

The variables defined in the variables scope will act like a psuedo
constructor if you are not calling that CFC via a cfinvoke, cfobject ...etc.

It provides a little flexibility on how the CFC can be consumed.

Re: CFC question

2006-09-13 Thread Cutter (CFRelated)

The variables scope, when used within a CFC, is a protected private 
scope (only accessible from within the CFC). Within the head of your 
object (after the cfcomponent tag, but prior to any functions) you may 
have a block like this:

variables.instance = structnew();
variables.instance.firstname = "";
variables.instance.lastname = "";
variables.instance.age = 0;

Then you might have an init method like this:

You would then get or set the properties of your object using getter and 
setter methods, which can access the private variables scope:

So, within your calling template you might have:

After which, the following attempt to access it's properties would 
fail/error:

#variables.personObj.firstname#

But using this would give you access:

#variables.personObj.getFirstName()#

Hope this helps:)

Typically if you are doing manipulation of the value, you don't want to alter 
the input value, but rather a copy of it. 


Vs 


If you're not manipulating it further, then it might be a bit redundant at 
first:


 
But by writing it this way, you make sure that if further down the road, if you 
find out that whitespace is being added to the end of certain firstnames, and 
you want to add the trim operation, you don't have to add it for every 
reference to arguments.firstname.  

So it's a best practice in that it allows you for more maintainable code.

Re: CFC question

2006-09-13 Thread Michael Dinowitz

Syntax like that is usually used within an init() method to set a passed 
variable to the CFCs global variable scope to be used by other methods. When 
a CFC is cached or called outside of a one shot invoke, this is a must to 
prevent having to pass the variable in again and again.
For example, someone would do the following:



In the second line, there is no need to send in the datasource name as it 
was sent in when the object was created.

Most likely so that if someone changes the argument name you only have to
change it once, instead of each time that it appears inside of the function.

To make it persistant in the lifetime of the CFC

See Ray Camden's site for a explaniation of the scopes within a CFC
which says it way better than I could.

In that example, variables.myVar is not *local*. It's *global* to the
CFC such that *any* method in that CFC has access to its value. Now,
if the code said:

then that might just be for creating a short-hand reference to the value.

In CFCs, the "variables" scope is global, meaning that any method of
the CFC (and any sub-classes, by the way), has access to its value. If
you want a truly local variable for a method, use the "var" setting,
as noted above.

Regards,
Dave.

RE: cfc question

2004-09-10 Thread Jim Davis

Some ideas:

The "var" keyword really has no meaning outside of a method. I'm surprised
that it's actually not throwing an error on that - but it could be,
indirectly, a cause.

The variable name "get" may be legal in CF, but seems suspicious - I wonder
if you're hitting so weird incompatibility with it.  Have you tried another
variable name?

When you set a variable outside of a method it's assigned to the variables
scope - you might try specifically scoping the reference later (use
"variables.get" rather than just "get").

Just in case it's not clear, the same would also apply to a UDF written
using cffunciton as well.

Also, don't forget that when you pass a query (or a struct or another
cfc) to a method, you pass it be reference, not by value. So if the
method changes the query, you are changing your original query as well.
If this bug you, just do

you can only return a single value from a method in a CFC.  IF you need to
return multiple values, then you have to package them into a complex value
(a struct) and then return the struct.  So rather than this:


  
  


you'd do something like this (this is foolish, because you could just return

  but it only displays 1 record out of a loop I'm doing. How would I go
  about getting all records to display? Here is the code I'm playing with:

  CFC:

  returntype="string">

    value = listToArray('Amplifiers,Mixers,Modulators,Switches');
    session.cart = structNew();
    structInsert(session.cart, "Product Category", "#value#");

  cfm File:

   component="category"
   method="categories"
   returnvariable="var">

  #var#

  so instead of showing 4 values I get Product Name 1: Amplifiers, how do
  I get all 4 to display as they would if I had all my code inline in a
  cfm page?

  Thanks,
  Ben

I don't follow completely. If I set  a variable inside the loop to
contain the structure then try to return that I get the same result.

With a CFC, you only 'return' once... you don't return within a loop...
(in your case you are only getting the last item)

what you want to do is build a structure of names and then outside the
loop, return the structure.

make sense?

Thanks.

I thought that you'd be able to hide the "has-a" relationship from the
accessing programs and perform this in the Invoice Object Methods.  I see
from this and documentation at Macromedia that the accessing program such as
the Invoice Form, create the relationship explicitly.

Again, thanks for taking the time to educate me.

"extends" represents an "is-a" relationship:

car "is-a" vehicle

so



...


is a reasonable model.

"has-a" is modeled by 'containment' - having data members:

Invoice "has-a" Ordering Person
Invoice "has-a" ShipTo Person

so











Hope that helps?

Just be sure your values are simple - if you had a struct where the
value of yourStruct[key] was also a struct, the code below would
generate an error. As the later poster said - just use cfdump. ;)
Although if you want more control over the look and feel, start w/
Matt's code below. If your values are all simple, it will work fine - if
it's more complex, you would just need to modify.
