nested Application.cfc question
I am having a problem with nesting Application CFCs. I have an Application.cfc in the root directory with a call to onRequestStart, and in there I have a variety of variables set in the request scope. I have another Application.cfc in a sub directory that I built primarily to handle user authentication (the only files needing to be protected reside there, so I was going to set the authentication checks in that Application.cfc so it's only referenced when needed). I set it up so that this second Application.cfc extends the root Application.cfc by using the dot-notation mapping to the root Application - like extends=SharedSites.Site1.Application. In this file's onRequestStart function, I try and access the request scope variables set in the parent Application.cfc. I am getting errors saying these variables have not been set. This is a legacy application that I am converting over to Application.cfc, so I cannot unscope those variables, I have to use them in the request scope. Any guidelines or ideas? thanks -r _ Rob Barthle Contractor - Sr. Software Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] 202-245-6484 ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:259526 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

That's not the way extension/inheritance works. When you created the new onRequestStart function in the child Application.cfc it replaced the one in the parent Application.cfc. To run the parents application.cfc you need to use CF's version of the super scope inside of the child. I think this would be super.onReqestStart() in side the child's onRequestStart, but I am not sure. -- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA - | 1 | | - Binary Soduko | | | - C code.

RE: nested Application.cfc question
I found the super.onRequestStart() function not too long after I sent this. That fixed that problem, you were correct about it. Thanks, Ian. :) Now my problem is just making this work correctly! It seems to be ignoring some IF statements in the child onRequestStart function, and I'm noodling through that one now. Are there public examples of code around with this kind of setup that I could look at somewhere? I have to assume this is nowhere near rocket science, but I'm fairly new to CFC's. thanks -r _ Rob Barthle Contractor - Sr. Software Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] 202-245-6484 -Original Message- From: CF-Talk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 07, 2006 5:00 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: ColdFusion Talk (CF-Talk): Digest every hour ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:259537 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
