CFC and Form Variables Question

Hi, all... Can form variables be passed around between a calling page and multiple cfc's? I have a form with data I want to validate, then generate an email with. I have the calling page with the form, which sends the form data via argumentCollection, to a form_validation.cfc. If the form

What is up with this? How can an insert fail with this error? [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'PageID', table 'SocialCards4You.dbo.Pages'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. PageID is an autoincrementing column in my MS SQL

Re: CFC and Form Variables Question

Something like this? cfif someObject.validateTheForm(argumentCollection = form) cfset variables.foo = anotherObject.doSomethingWithForm(argumentCollection = form) / cfelse Form did not validate /cfif Or, are you wanting to pass the form data to another cfc method from within the

Re: CFC and Form Variables Question

Hi, Dominic and thanks for the reply... The second option sounds more like what I'm wanting to do. And while reading your response, it occurred to me that if I send the form data to a cfc for validation, and it validates, I could just go straight to another method (how about to another cfc?)

Re: CFC and Form Variables Question

Personally, I'd prefer the first approach. The validation method should only be concerned with validating the form; it should not know what to do if the form validates. However, it *would* make sense to do it the other way around; ie. call the email method, which first calls the validation method

Re: CFC and Form Variables Question

Taking a step back, why are you using a form validation CFC? Your goal is that you want to validate a form then send an email. So the simple way to do this is to post the form to itself, then at the top of the page detect whether the page is posted to itself, run it through some validation checks

RE: Best Open Source Message Board?

Well if the database is there but CF says it isn't... I'd make sure you are using the datasource that you think you are. :-) Dump #application.cfg.msgboarddsn# to make sure that it is what you expect it to be. Then try something simple like simple like cfquery

Re: CFC and Form Variables Question

Should read: As for 'sharing' variables between *methods* I picked up on that one. :o) Thanks for the feedback. I'll give it some thought and see what happens. Rick Dominic Watson wrote: Sorry, hungover cffunction method=init ... cfargument name=adminEmail .../

Re: CFC and Form Variables Question

why are you using a form validation CFC? No specific reason for using a CFC, except that I can put all my form validation routines into a single CFC easily enough. My normal practice is to have a page submit back to itself (and even with a CFC or two involved, I still do that), but I've been

Re: CFC and Form Variables Question

To more specifically answer your question, avoid the variables scope inside of a CFC if you can. You can use that, but it is generally considered bad design and it can lead to problems that are hard to troubleshoot. The variables scope should not be used for what Rick was suggesting but

Re: CFC and Form Variables Question

I'm considering taking the approach of making the appropriate email routines that follow validation routines, children (I think that's the term) of the validation routines so there's only one call from the calling page and then the data flows through the process of validation and emailing, then

Re: CFC and Form Variables Question

cfset errors = someComponent.validationMethod( argumentCollection = form ) / cfif StructIsEmpty( errors) cfset result = someComponent.sendEmail( argumentCollection = form ) / cfelse !--- do some error handling --- /cfif That's exactly the approach I was taking when I started

I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to programmatically determine if a computer (with Windows OS including XP home/pro, Vista) has .NET Framework 2.0 installed with DOS/Window's batch/utility programming. Googling has not been effective for the solution. Thanks. Don Chunshen Li

Re: CF equivalent to PHP pack() function

Hi all! I've found a java equivalent to PHP pack('H*', function Here it is: code String myHexStr = D0A0D0B0D0B7D0BCD0B5D180D18B; //some string in Russian, charset UTF-8 byte [] b = new BigInteger(parNameHex, 16).toByteArray(); //maybe other constructor to implement other formats of pack()

Re: CFC and Form Variables Question

You're right, Mike... I'm just using the CFC as more of a function library, not so much from an OOP standpoint. (I only learned to use CFC's effectively in the last week or so :o) I'll have to dig into the this.validate() method a little more to understand it. I did see it discussed in the

Re: CFC and Form Variables Question

Regarding this.validate, I'm writing abstractly to refer to validating an object's data within the object as opposed to sending it out to a separate validation object. You won't find this in any manual. Back when CFCs first came out I extensively researched how best to handle function libraries
