Re: Cannot access session variables in a cfc

Were you using relative paths to the CFCs. That could become hairy if you move things around. I'll generally define a CFC path variable in the application.cfm then use that everywhere.

Re: Cannot access session variables in a cfc
You will need to pass your session variables as a parameter in order to use them in the CFC, this is best practices anyways. The difficulty is that there a lot of cfc calls and some of them are in bind expressions so the chance of making errors is high. That's why I am so anxious to find one that doesn't make me change a lot of programming.

Re: Cannot access session variables in a cfc
Hmm, that's odd as I use that setup on numerous sites and I never have to map the applicationproxy. I am currently using it on both ACF 10 and 11, but I started using this around 8 or 9 and haven't changed it for new version. I don't believe that you could use the root.(dot) notation in 8 or 9, which if I remember correctly, predicated the use of the proxy. Every site is also housed in completely different directories, nowhere near the cfusion/wwwroot directory, so I am not sure why it is didn't work for you as well. Anyway, thanks for the additional info regarding cutting out the proxy step.

Re: Cannot access session variables in a cfc
Thanx. That's what I think I will do for the time being. It is hard for me to come up with all the symptoms that we started seeing on the cfc's now and I don't think I could do justice to any explanation of those issues. It seemed to me that it was all quite normal stuff. All pages and cfc's were in the same doc root. And I have had issues with cfc locations on my test system because it gets confused with localhost and virtual directories, so getting the cfc's into a separate folder had a certain appeal. I'm planning to do a big refresh on the app over the summer and this is going to be addressed then. In the meantime, I have my fingers crossed than an application scoped variable will get us through.

If it is, then what is the alternative method of passing a variable into the cfc (other than making it a parameter when calling)? ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:360030 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
RE: Cannot access session variables in a cfc
try adding an Application.cfc in the root physical directory I don't that that will work. It would still be a separate application pool, and I think you need the CFID and CFTOKEN cookies to have session vars.

Re: Cannot access session variables in a cfc
You could also extend the main application.cfc. You can't do this directly if the cfc's are in a sub-directory though. If that is the case, you could use a proxy, I do this all the time. Here would be the structure. root - Application.cfc - ApplicationProxy.cfc (extends Application) - cfc-folder - - Application.cfc (extends ApplicationProxy) - - myCFC.cfc You will probably want to also call super.onApplicationStart() from within the cfc folder Application.cfc's onApplicationStart() method. The same would hold true for onSessionStart(), you would want to call super.OnSessionStart(). This ensures that all the main application and session vars get initialized properly.

Re: Cannot access session variables in a cfc
John, There are some pretty significant advancements to CFCs since CF 7, especially around scoping. You definitely want to look at the difference up the version chain.

It is hard for me to come up with all the symptoms that we started seeing on the cfc's now and I don't think I could do justice to any explanation of those issues. It seemed to me that it was all quite normal stuff. All pages and cfc's were in the same doc root. And I have had issues with cfc locations on my test system because it gets confused with localhost and virtual directories, so getting the cfc's into a separate folder had a certain appeal. I'm planning to do a big refresh on the app over the summer and this is going to be addressed then. In the meantime, I have my fingers crossed than an application scoped variable will get us through.

Re: best way to invoke cfc
But I will give you a hint, read up on CreateObject() and if your on a supported release then you could also look at the import and new operand and as your are already familiar with cfinvoke, maybe reading what other attributes and features it offers couldn't hurt either. But seriously, these basic questions are all in the Documentation. If not Google your question and you will find hundreds of examples and tutorials on this subject.

Re: CFC Not Returning JSON properly from an array
Are you doing SerializeJSON() in your CFC method, AND have returntype=JSON on the function definition? If so, it is double serializing the data. Remove the SerializeJSON() call and allow the function to automatically do the serialization. HTH, -Carl V.

The default for the return format for a remote cffunction call is WDDX. Sounds like inside your CFC you are serializing the return value first.

Re: How do I pass this jQuery variable as arguments to a cfc method?
Hmmm...
I tried using the specialIDList.push(specialID) approach, and I get the
correct
output in console.log, [ 27, 28, 26 ], but I also get the error in
Firebug,
500 Element SPECIALIDLIST is undefined in ARGUMENTS.
I also tried using specialIDList = specialID.join(', ') and I still get the
same
output in console.log, [ 27, 28, 26 ], but I also get the same error
in Firebug,
500 Element SPECIALIDLIST is undefined in ARGUMENTS.
So, the cfc method doesn't understand speciaIDList when it's sent in the
form
above, even when I specify the argument as array type.
Suggestions on what to do now? Something else on the client side with
jQuery/JS
or something on the method side with CF?
Thanks for any feedback!

I guess I can just pass that through and have a cfargument type of list
and parse those ID's with a cfloop to assign them to individual
cfarguments.
Or does a cfargument type of list handle the ID's without having to
break down the list into individual arguments?
Not exactly. You can't pass complex variables like that via HTTP. It has to
be serialized first. I believe jQuery will do that for you- but I'd
probably do it myself - ie, somearray.join(,).

Re: How do I pass this jQuery variable as arguments to a cfc method?
Inside your .each loop you want to push specialID to your array like so:
specialIDList.push (specialID). Afterwards when you are preparing your
values object to be sent to the server you do specialIDList.join to put
them into a string.

Re: How do I pass this jQuery variable as arguments to a cfc method?
Hi, Steve...
I just gave that a try, but still get an error in Firebug:
500 Element SPECIALIDLIST is undefined in ARGUMENTS
Also, in the console, I still get what appears to be the same when I use
console.log(specialIDLlist):
[ 27, 28, 26 ].
Perhaps something is missing on the cfc method side? Here's that code:
cffunction name = mProcessEmailNewsletterForm

cfargument name = emailNewsletterGreeting type = string required =

Re: How do I pass this jQuery variable as arguments to a cfc method?
You cant break the string into individual arguments. It will be one
argument that contains a string with comma separated values, which can be
easily handled with CFs list functions. I'm not sure what you want to do
with them in your CFC, but you can loop through the values like so:
cfloop list=#arguments.specialIDList# index=local.loopIndex
... here you have access to each value individually to work with
/cfloop

Inside your .each loop you want to push specialID to your array like so:
specialIDList.push (specialID). Afterwards when you are preparing your
values object to be sent to the server you do specialIDList.join to put
them into a string.

Ok, so you passed specialidlist, right? Can you show us your latest

So, the cfc method doesn't understand speciaIDList when it's sent
in
the
form
above, even when I specify the argument as array type.
Remember, we are sending the data over the wire as a string. So your
argument should be string.
But for now, let's see your
How do I pass this jQuery variable as arguments to a cfc method?
Hi, all...
I've approached this problem from every direction I can think of and with
reference to many, many websites, but I still can put together an answer.
I have this HTML in a form:
cfoutput query = qGetSpecials
div class=special_title_container
span class=title_checkbox_span
input id=special_id_#special_id# class=special_title_checkbox
value=#special_title# type=checkbox name=special_title
/span
span class=special_title_span#special_title#/span
/div
/cfoutput
Which is output into this:
input id=special_id_26 class=special_title_checkbox value=First
Special type=checkbox name=special_title
input id=special_id_27 class=special_title_checkbox value=Second
Special type=checkbox name=special_title
input id=special_id_28 class=special_title_checkbox value=Third
Special type=checkbox name=special_title
This jQuery processing the inputs:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#newsletter_preview_button').click(function() {
var specialTitleID = $('.special_title_checkbox:checked');
$('.special_title_checkbox:checked').each(function(index,value) {
var specialTitleID = $(this).attr('id').split('_').pop();
var specialTitleID = 'specialTitle_'+specialTitleID;
alert(specialTitleID); --- [ this alerts the three input values, 26, 27,
28, individually when form is submitted ]
});
values = { emailNewsletterGreeting: emailNewsletterGreeting,
specialTitleID: specialTitleID}
(Followed by AJAX code...)
And this cfc method:
cffunction name = mProcessEmailNewsletterForm
displayName= mProcessEmailNewsletterForm
hint = Processes Email Newsletter Form
output = true
access = remote
returnType= struct
cfargument name = emailNewsletterGreeting type = string
required = no /
cfargument name = specialTitleID type =
string required
= no /
cfset emailNewsletterStruct = structNew() /
cfset emailNewsletterStruct.email_newsletter_greeting =
'#arguments.email_newsletter_greeting#'
/
cfset emailNewsletterStruct.specialTitleID =
'#arguments.specialTitleID#'
/
cfreturn emailNewsletterStruct /
/cffunction
But, the cffunction above doesn't know what to do with the value,
specialTitleID, when it's received.
Or, rather, I don't know how to change it in the jQuery code or the
cffunction code so that each
specialTitleID can be separted into individual cfarguments.
I've tried specifying cfargument name=specialTitleID as type=array,
type=list, type=string,
but I get a JS error in Firebug no matter what I try. I'm sure it's simple,
I just haven't handled
a multi-valued variable going via AJAX to a cfc method before. (or that I
remember...).
Suggestions, anyone?
Thanks,
Rick

RE: How do I pass this jQuery variable as arguments to a cfc method?
If the value isn't changing after the page is rendered you may be able to use
document.write java script to write the variable to a CF variable that you can
pass to the CFC. I've done that before and it works fine, so long as the
variable doesn't change after the page is rendered.

Re: How do I pass this jQuery variable as arguments to a cfc method?
It is **impossible** to use document.write java script (sic) to write the
variable to a CF variable. Cannot be done. Why? Because CF variables are
only available on the server side, and are long gone figments of one's
imagination by the time the HTML/JavaScript/CSS/etc. reaches the client
side (the browser).
You can, however, use JavaScript to write a form field value or to directly
POST/GET to/from a CFC once the page has loaded in the browser.

I would set your argument type as a list and then validate,loop and process the
list in your CFC method. If so youll need to change your each() loop to
append the variables in to the list and then post the string in your $.post()
request.

On a related note, the Postman extension for Chrome is great for testing what
your remote CFC's are doing with form variables.

Hey, Ray, and thanks for the reply...
Here's the ajax part...
$.ajax ({ cache: false,

Re: How do I pass this jQuery variable as arguments to a cfc method?
So values is this:
values = { emailNewsletterGreeting: emailNewsletterGreeting,
specialTitleID: specialTitleID}
I see you set specialTitleID. But you had it in loop. You probably wanted
to make that an array. If the values are IDs though you could use an array
and convert it to a list. So assuming you fixed it and specialTitleID was
an array, you could do:
specialTitleList = specialTitleID.join(,);
Not sure where you set emailNewsletterGretting.
You then want to use Chrome Dev Tools and look at the network request and
see how the value is being passed in.

Re: How do I pass this jQuery variable as arguments to a cfc method?
I like Postman because I can manually test web services, including HTTP verbs and enter form and URL variables against services to test responses and error handling in a variety of formats. It also has tabs that parse your return data, like the network tab does, but in a better format. It's better at functional testing web services, IMHO, than posting AJAX calls repeatedly in page.

Re: How do I pass this jQuery variable as arguments to a cfc method?
I set emailNewsletterGreeting earlier. It's a value from a single DOM
element,
so no problem with that.
And I was tinkering with code prior to the ajax code, so I was changing
variable
names halting the processing before ajax kicked in.
Your array idea sounds good.
I also tried this:
var specialIDList = [];
$('.special_title_checkbox:checked').each(function(index,value) {
var specialTitleID = $(this).attr('id').split('_').pop();
specialIDList.push(specialTitleID);
});
console.log(specialIDList);
and was able to see the list in Firebug.
It shows [ 27, 28, 26 ] in the console.
I guess I can just pass that through and have a cfargument type of list
and parse those ID's with a cfloop to assign them to individual cfarguments.
Or does a cfargument type of list handle the ID's without having to
break down the list into individual arguments?

It has to be serialized first. I believe jQuery will do that for you- but I'd probably do it myself - ie, somearray.join(,).

fedex tracking cfc
Can anybody point me in the right direction to get some implementation instruction using fedex's wsdl? They only have samples for vb.net, php, c# etc... Why is it so painful to find anything related to coldfusion and fedex implementation. I have an account number, identifier (meter) and an reference number (no tracking number) and would like to get tracking info from fedex. Any help would be appreciated.

Easy CFC question (I hope)
Hey,
I am doing a project for my CF class in college. I admit that I have not played
with CFC's in a while, but I cannot figure out why this is not working:
cffunction name=adduser hint=Adds a new user to the database
returntype=query
cfargument name=fname required=true type=string
cfargument name=lname required=true type=string
cfargument name=username required=true type=string
cfargument name=userpwd required=true type=string
cfargument name=email required=true type=string
cfset var adduser = /
!--- Hash the password and create a random number for the URL
on the email that will be sent ---
cfset securepwd = #hash(arguments.userpwd)# /
cfset salt = #Rand(SHA1PRNG)# /
cfset secureHash = hash(salt) /
cfquery name=qUserID result=userid
datasource=bhsrecruitadmindsn
INSERT INTO users
(username, userpwd, fname, lname, email, secureHash)
VALUES ('#arguments.username#', '#securepwd#',
'#arguments.fname#', '#arguments.lname#', '#arguments.email#', '#secureHash#')
/cfquery
!--- Set the auto generated key ---
cfset newID = #userid.generated_key# /
!--- Now we get the informatoion from the db ---
cfquery name=qUserEmail
SELECT fname, lname, email, secureHash
FROM users
WHERE userid = #newID#
/cfquery
cfreturn adduser
/cffunction
The information enters into the db as expected, but when I invoke the component
on the other end:
cfinvoke method=adduser component=cfc/dbfunctions
returnvariable=userinfo
cfinvokeargument name=username value=#form.username#
cfinvokeargument name=userpwd value=#form.userpwd#
cfinvokeargument name=fname value=#form.fname#
cfinvokeargument name=lname value=#form.lname#
cfinvokeargument name=email value=#form.email#
/cfinvoke
I get the error message The value returned from the adduser function is not of
type query. If the component name is specified as a return type, it is possible
that either a definition file for the component cannot be found or is not
accessible. The error occurred on line 16.
Also, I know that there are a few things that could be fixed/tidied up
regarding hashing and such, but this class is not on encryption or anything
like that, it's so that the instructor see's that I have a basic understanding
of CF. The book for the class is CFWAC for version 9, so it's beginner level
stuff.

Actually up higher he does a cfset var adduser = / so he is actually returning a variable. He can solve it either using your way or by doing a cfset adduser = qUserEmail / before the cfreturn.

Re: Easy CFC question (I hope)
Bruce I wouldn't sweat about making a rookie mistake.We all do. Mine is usually confusing 'eq' and '='. as in ... cfif variable1 eq variable2 /cfif and cfset variable1 = something I usually find out I've got them the wrong way round when I get an error message. You'd think something as simple as that would be easy to remember, if only because it trips me up so many times.But no. So don't worry about it. Anyway, any programmer that tells you they usually write code that works first time as advertised is quite probably a liar. What is important is to learn how you diagnose your own errors and fix them yourself before anyone else gets involved. You're going to keep making mistakes, either simply syntax mistakes or errors in code logic.The skilled programmers learn how to look for potential minefields as they go, and check each segment of code as they develop, so the finished code is as robust as it's possible to be before they let anyone else test it.That way they get the reputation of being invincible. It's all smoke and mirrors though. They're not invincible - they just paper over the cracks before anyone sees (to mix metaphors).

Re: Easy CFC question (I hope)
adduser is set to ...unless i missed it, i do't see it being assigned the
return value of the query. If you are supposed to be returning the new ID
then you would want cfreturn qUserEmail

Hey,
I am doing a project for my CF class in college. I admit that I have not
played with CFC's in a while, but I cannot figure out why this is not
working:

returntype=query
cfargument name=fname required=true type=string
cfargument name=lname required=true type=string
cfargument name=username required=true type=string

cfset var adduser = /
!--- Hash the password and create a random number for the

cfset securepwd = #hash(arguments.userpwd)# /
cfset salt = #Rand(SHA1PRNG)# /
cfset secureHash = hash(salt) /
cfquery name=qUserID result=userid
datasource=bhsrecruitadmindsn
INSERT INTO users
(username, userpwd, fname, lname, email,
secureHash)
VALUES ('#arguments.username#', '#securepwd#',
'#arguments.fname#', '#arguments.lname#', '#arguments.email#',
'#secureHash#')
/cfquery
!--- Set the auto generated key ---
cfset newID = #userid.generated_key# /
!--- Now we get the informatoion from the db ---
cfquery name=qUserEmail
SELECT fname, lname, email, secureHash

The information enters into the db as expected, but when I invoke the
component on the other end:
cfinvoke method=adduser component=cfc/dbfunctions
returnvariable=userinfo
cfinvokeargument name=username value=#form.username#
cfinvokeargument name=userpwd value=#form.userpwd#
cfinvokeargument name=fname value=#form.fname#
cfinvokeargument name=lname value=#form.lname#
cfinvokeargument name=email value=#form.email#
/cfinvoke
I get the error message The value returned from the adduser function is
not of type query. If the component name is specified as a return type, it
is possible that either a definition file for the component cannot be found
or is not accessible. The error occurred on line 16.
Also, I know that there are a few things that could be fixed/tidied up
regarding hashing and such, but this class is not on encryption or anything
like that, it's so that the instructor see's that I have a basic
understanding of CF. The book for the class is CFWAC for version 9, so it's
beginner level stuff.

RE: How can I view arguments in a CFC on-screen?
The way I finally got to view the arguments sent to the CFC methodwas by simply assigning the arguments to the struct I created: cfset authorizeStruct = structNew() / cfset authorizeStruct.ARGUMENTS = '#arguments#' / cfreturn authorizeStruct / That put a halt to all further processing in the method, which is good,and sent back the name pairs in JSON so I could view them in the console.

Magento CFC or sample code
I need to interact with a Magento store and was wondering if there were any existing CFCs or sample code for interacting with the Magento API. I search the forum but couldn't find anything initially. Thanks. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:354644 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
CFC/JSON problem saving long text fields
Happy New Year everyone, I get a 404 error (in firebug) whenever I try to save a long text field to SQL server. I have a CFWINDOW that opens to allow editing and a save button calls the CFC. I separated out the description from the remainder of the record trying to get this to work. I ended up working around this by splitting the text into 500 char chunks and saving it that way. This solution is not working well in production. So, I would like to find a way to do it without looping. I've trapped the error on the javascript side and it just says 'undefined' for the error's message. I added a simple insert query to the top of the CFC function and that did not occur. So, the problem appears to be on the javascript side. Any ideas? I have CF 9, SQL Server 2008, description is varchar(max) Javascript call: dataproxy.saveDescription( frm.prdID.value, frm.prdDescription.value ); CFC Function: cffunction name=saveDescription cfargument name=prdID type=numeric default=0 cfargument name=prdDesc type=string default= cfquery datasource=#THIS.dsn# UPDATE tblProducts SET prdDescription= cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_longvarchar value=#arguments.prdDesc# WHERE prdID= cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_int value=#arguments.prdID# / /cfquery /cffunction ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:353762 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: CFC/JSON problem saving long text fields
You are hitting a GET versus POST thing. GET has a limited size. Just switch to POST.

Asynchronous action inside CFC function
Hi I have a function that gets some binary data, uses that data to do a cffile action=write, and then returns the file's path as a string. I'm experiencing a problem that suggests the function is doing the return before the write action has completed. In the code below, will the function wait for the write action to complete before it sends the return? I'm almost certain it will not; is there a way to force the function to wait for the write to complete before it returns strWPTempFilePath, such as cftransaction or something along those lines? cfset strWPTempFilePath = request.stcApplicationData.strTempImageDirectory createUuid() .pdf cffile action=WRITE file=#strWPTempFilePath# output=#r_docBinData# addNewLine=no / cfreturn strWPTempFilePath ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:353141 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

You could use a do while file not exists loop to wait till the file gets written.

Inline logic vs CFC vs SP
I'm drafting our first set of code standards, and I'm running into a philosophical debate which I'd like to open up to the community. Some would say our standard should be to place all queries and as much execution logic as possible into CFCs. The advantages of this are: most of your business logic is centralized; if you have to make major changes (like the time we had to copy most of an app's functionality over but change a large percentage of the schema references) it's easy to find most of the relevant code; and, you can often make major changes to an application without pushing more than one or two files to production. Others argue that code only belongs in a CFC if we can expect that code to be reused. So, if a piece of functionality is extremely specific, and therefore not likely to be called elsewhere, then why take the extra step of abstracting to an object. The pet peeve illustrated here is a submit handler page that contains nothing but a call to a CFC, which apparently annoys when business logic is expected on the handler page. Still others would have us put most logic in stored procedures (which produces the sub-debate of whether it's redundant to call a CFC that calls a stored procedure). First, I have to note that we are on Oracle, and personally I don't find it nearly as easy to debug stored procedures in Oracle as it is in SQL Server. Second, I have heard that performance improvement is minimal, and security differences aren't noteworthy provided that you're using cfqueryparam. Third, we would lose database portability (there has been talk of moving to SQL Server, which powers our SharePoint site; of course, there have also been rumblings of moving us to .Net in which case there's no particular advantage either way to storing business logic in the database layer versus the application layer). Then there are a couple of folks pushing for frameworks, but I don't think we're quite ready for that yet. So...inline code if reusability is unlikely? Everything in CFCs? Forget CFCs, go to stored procedures? Some rationale for when to use what? Very interested in hearing your opinions!

Re: Inline logic vs CFC vs SP
It's all about encapsulation. Code should be written in one place, and one place only. If you have the same code in two places, something is wrong. CFCs - which are objects in the CFML world - are all about encapsulation. CFCs FTW! Is that to say that CFMs can't be encapsulated? No. With very careful coding and strict architecture in place, CFMs can, in theory, be encapsulated. But they are not, technically speaking, encapsulated, and open up many opportunities for code smell and duplicate code to enter into your application. I personally am not even remotely a fan of stored procedures. You've already enumerated several of the arguments against them. But the bottom line is portability. I am a firm believer in a portable code base, and therefore don't use stored procedures. In the simplest of terms: - controller-level code goes in CFCs (very light/thin, traffic cop only) - service/DAO/model-level code goes in CFCs (very robust, intelligent, virtually all logic) - display/view-level code goes in CFMs (very light/thin, displays data and data collection - no business rules/logic) HTH On Tue, Oct 23, 2012 at 8:55 AM, Shannon Rhodes shan...@rhodesedge.comwrote: I'm drafting our first set of code standards, and I'm running into a philosophical debate which I'd like to open up to the community.

Re: Inline logic vs CFC vs SP
I think you are going to get varied responses here. I have always been a fan of encapsulation even before CFC's and MVC, I would put all DB queries into separate files and code into a separate file and these would either be cfincluded or CF_tags. Sure it does seem pointless sometimes to do this for a couple of lines of code that wont be used elsewhere, but in the event someone does need to change it one day, it is easier if it is easy to find for maintainability, but then on the other hand if all files are named sensibly then everything should be easy to find anyway regardless. But if you are going to have standards and protocols, you should really stick to them all the time and not just randomly break them. StoredProcs should certainly be used if they provide a worthwhile performance boost, only testing will tell you this. If there is no real benefit then I would not use them just for the sake of it as it adds unnecessary complexity to the maintainability especially where the developer does not have access to the db server to edit the storedPROC. It rather depends on your team, if you have a dedicated DBA who is a guru at stored procs and performance tuning queries, then best to good use of him. If it is the cfdevs writing the stored procs and they really have no knowledge of how to tune them and optimise paging, indexes, execution plans etc, then you are probably not gaining anything. A framework is pretty ambiguous term, CFML is itself a framework, and if you have a set of standards for separating display, business logic and CRUDS, then you are are also creating a framework of sorts, more oft referred to as a methodology. Frameworks like ColdBox and Model-Glue are just taking it a step further by doing everything for you, defining a set of rules, adding some event handling and processing logic and a bunch of extra features and tools to make life easier for you.

Then there are a couple of folks pushing for frameworks, but I don't think we're quite ready for that yet. So...inline code if reusability is unlikely? Everything in CFCs? Forget CFCs, go to stored procedures? Some rationale for when to use what? Very interested in hearing your opinions! Thanks
Re: Inline logic vs CFC vs SP
If there is no real benefit then I would not use them just for the sake of it as it adds unnecessary complexity to the maintainability especially where the developer does not have access to the db server to edit the storedPROC. 1++ I can attest to this. I work with apps where *everything* are in SP's and they are a total PITA maintenance wise. Any changes to the database have to be changed in two (or often more) places. Every try to hunt down instances of a table or column in a slew of SP's? No fun at all. I have had some changes that would normally take an hour or two turn into all day affairs. So I am with Matt, not a fan of stored procedures. They have their place but often just add needless complexity. I am also partial to the black box approach when dealing with data. I am also a big fan of machine generated code for CRUDs, service layers, ORM's and the like. It should not matter where the data comes from. When done right, you could swap out your entire data layer from a database to web services and the rest of your app would be none the wiser. Again, like Matt said. Portability. My $0.02 and worth every penny. G! On Tue, Oct 23, 2012 at 10:42 AM, Russ Michaels r...@michaels.me.uk wrote: I think you are going to get varied responses here. I have always been a fan of encapsulation even before CFC's and MVC, I would put all DB queries into separate files and code into a separate file and these would either be cfincluded or CF_tags. Sure it does seem pointless sometimes to do this for a couple of lines of code that wont be used elsewhere, but in the event someone does need to change it one day, it is easier if it is easy to find for maintainability, but then on the other hand if all files are named sensibly then everything should be easy to find anyway regardless. But if you are going to have standards and protocols, you should really stick to them all the time and not just randomly break them. StoredProcs should certainly be used if they provide a worthwhile performance boost, only testing will tell you this. If there is no real benefit then I would not use them just for the sake of it as it adds unnecessary complexity to the maintainability especially where the developer does not have access to the db server to edit the storedPROC. It rather depends on your team, if you have a dedicated DBA who is a guru at stored procs and performance tuning queries, then best to good use of him. If it is the cfdevs writing the stored procs and they really have no knowledge of how to tune them and optimise paging, indexes, execution plans etc, then you are probably not gaining anything. A framework is pretty ambiguous term, CFML is itself a framework, and if you have a set of standards for separating display, business logic and CRUDS, then you are are also creating a framework of sorts, more oft referred to as a methodology. Frameworks like ColdBox and Model-Glue are just taking it a step further by doing everything for you, defining a set of rules, adding some event handling and processing logic and a bunch of extra features and tools to make life easier for you.

Some would say our standard should be to place all queries and as much execution logic as possible into CFCs. The advantages of this are: most of your business logic is centralized; if you have to make major changes (like the time we had to copy most of an app's functionality over but change a large percentage of the schema references) it's easy to find most of the relevant code; and, you can often make major changes to an application without pushing more than one or two files to production.

Re: Inline logic vs CFC vs SP
I put all interaction with the database in CFCs, with each action happening once so that the same result always comes back regardless of where the logic for the database activity is needed. If you write, test and debug these CFCs as an early step in your project, downstream development that uses them becomes much more efficient. Once your CFCs are written and tested all programmers should be required to use them. It saves much time and trouble if everyone is interacting with the database exactly the same. I use one CFC for each data table, with the same name as the table. It includes all the selects, gets, sets, puts and initialization for the object. If the data table contains foreign key fields, I will do a select in the CFC that joins the foreign key to the appropriate table and returns all the information necessary for display in a structure. Each CFC extends DATAMANAGER.CFC which is a custom CFC that controls the DSN being used, confirms permissions, cleans data being sent to the database to trap any hacker attacks, manages failed transactions, logs the result of any catch-try failures, etc. This allows all my error management and logging to happen in one place. I only use stored procedures for complex database interactions or handling massive amounts of data that will run faster on the database than doing the calculation and logic with CFML, and I call them from the CFC for the related table so that I can use the DATAMANAGER.CFC as above. Again, this allows me to have total control over the call to the database, and always returns the same result regardless of where the stored proc is needed in the business or display logic. I never put queries in CFM pages or any display pages because I want the code where I can find it readily and if the database changes I only have to make those changes in one place. Frankly I just don't think database interaction belongs with the business and display logic. I do occasionally put a query of queries in CFM pages to re-sort or sub-select data items for display.

Re: Webservice returning CFC in a different directory
I know this post is over 8 years old, but it is the only one that was on point to a problem I was having. I now have a solution so am simply updating this in case others stumble upon the same situation. I'm on Coldfusion 9. My set up is exactly like the original poster's: webservices in a directory under the webroot, components in a directory outside the webroot of the current app. I was getting the same as errors described above. What I discovered - after much hair pulling! - was that I had carefully (I thought) sculpted a extremely limited subset of the main application.cfc (being overly cautious perhaps) and placed it in the web services directory. In CFAdmin, the order for reading application.cfcs was set to default order. Accordingly it was reading the application.cfc in the web services directory. I also put all my mappings in the application.cfc (vs. manage them in the CFAdminstrator). Well, in my vast wisdom, I discovered that I had excised the mapping to the components directory in the web services version of application.cfc. Once I added that back in, I was in heaven. The components lived outside the app and functioned beautifully with the CFCs in the web services directory. Hope this helps the next soul that stumbles upon this problem. * Have you tried downing your instance and blowing away the contents of both your cfclasses and cfc-skeletons directories. Yup - tried it many times, no luck... ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:352048 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: CFC Oddity
In ColdFusion 10, I can't reproduce this at all. I _never_ see cookies
in the response. However, I see nothing 'wrong' in this. The same
cookie values are sent from the client to the server, and server-side
values are persisted. So when I do...
if(!structkeyexists(client, x)) client.x=1;
writelog(client is #client.x#);
client.x++;
everything is kosher.

Sure,
For the record, it's not any one method, I've tried it with numerous
functions and the example below was just the simplest unused method in this
CFC
cffunction name=Logout_User access=remote output=true
returntype=any
cfset var foo =
!--- Check if user is stored in client ---
cfif StructKeyExists(client, userID)
cfset delete = DeleteClientVariable(userID)
cfset delete = DeleteClientVariable(userAgentUUID)
cfset delete = DeleteClientVariable(userAgentInstanceUUID)
/cfif
cfreturn foo/
/cffunction
If I remove the foo from the cfreturn - then CF passes the set-cookie
request back in the repnse header - it's it's there, even if, as in the
example, it's blank - it still won't give me the set-cookie
Here is my jQuery as well
function getGarbageCFC(){
$.get('/mobile/com/UserManager.cfc?method=Logout_User',
function(data) {
//console.log(data);
});
}
If I put a literal CFCOOKIE tag into the method, it does send it in the
headers - but only the cookie I set manually - not the other CF cookies
This is my FF FireBux header dump on the reponse when I don't have foo in
the cfreturn
