What do you need to do with the structure that your insertNewsSubscriptions
method returns?
Basically, I would just like some confirmation that it has been
inserted. I have used a struct to return both an instert status
(success or failure) and the new recordID for other set methods. Since

In the instance example, you'd use CreateObject and call init(userid)
once. Then you'd call AddNewsLetter(newsletterid) 3 times instead.

I can answer this bit - yes, a similar situation exists in CF. The
CFC is like a class, which you can instantiate with CreateObject() or
CFOBJECT.
If code uses CFINVOKE, specifying a path to the CFC file, it actually
instantiates the CFC first (in the background) and then runs the
method. This is

My insertNewsSubscriptions method returns a structure. If I
instantiate the method within the user method, how do I return the
struct and should I add the results to the struct that the user method
returns?

I'm no OO expert. I only come at it from CF. So, I can't answer your last
question. As to your first question, yes, you'd call the insertNews _after_
you have created the userid. If you do what another person suggested,
though, you can actually create the userid (as a UUID) when you create the

Deanna,
Thank you very much. Wether or not I invoke or instantiate, am I
correct in assuming that I should pass the userID to the newsmanager
after inserting the user into the users table? Otherwise, the db may
not let me insert the userID in the linking table without a
corresponding userID in th
Yes, that's one way to do it. You can also instantiate an instance of the
newsletter cfc and call the methods directly. So..;

The MAX(ID) technique only works 100% if you use a serializable
transaction in the cftransaction tag, which can impact performance.

If you're sure about that, go with it. However, from a previous
conversation, it didn't seem that was the consensus... but I could very

It does a transaction in the database itself, assuming the database being
used supports transactions. This would ensure that you get back the ID that
you just inserted.

I'd do it this way too. You can mix this with the UUID idea; you
create the user with a new UUID, get it into the DB etc and then
manage this user's newletters with the newsletter manager CFC. It
means the newsletter info becomes a property of the user, which makes
sense; users have newsletters and
Yes, that avoids the whole issue of autonumbers and also allows you
two merge separate databases later on if so desired.

Could all of this be avoided if I just used the createUUID() function
to insert a userID into my users table instead of using autonumber? I
am starting this thing from scratch, so I could removed the
auto_increment from the userID if I have to.
I am assuming that I would then pass the UUID to both
Mike,
I will look into that. I thought as long as I wrapped the insert user
query and the select user query (with the max() function) in a

About getting the userID to the new
Well, you could have some object aggregation. So, for example, the user CFC
could have an instance of the newsletterManager cfc. So, if a new user is
created, and they've requested access to certain newsletters, you'd just run
the functions from within the user cfc. Or, if you instantiate a user as
remember, max may not give you what you want, especially if another user
inserts a record just in between the time when you insert your record
and then poll for the max id.
I'm not sure if mysql supports nextval (like oracle), but you might want
to do something like this instead:

Thanks for the link!
Actually, I do know how to get the unique ID with the MAX() function in SQL.
I guess my real question is how do I pass the unique ID from one
method in the users component into another method in the newsletter
component? Can anyone help with that?

No problem,
