Rather than using argumentcollection, I have been using this, do people think this is nasty code?
<cfargument name="dataobject" required="no" default="#arguments#" hint="object containing fields/values, or fields can be passed individually"> using this, i can always reference arguments.dataobject.myfield, regardless of whether or not they are passed in individually or in a form/struct/object -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Roland Collins Sent: 17 November 2004 21:49 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [CFCDev] Process for Updating Database Records I personally use named parameters - I've never had a function with more than 10, so I've never seen a need to pass things any differently. However, one neat trick is to pass the form object in as the argument collection, like so: <CFINVOKE COMPONENT="MyComponent" METHOD="MyMethod" ARGUMENTCOLLECTION="#form#"/> As long as your form items are named the same as the arguments, this works splendidly and avoids having to create DTO-like objects just to pass form data. Roland -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daniel Short Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2004 4:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [CFCDev] Process for Updating Database Records Hi everyone, I'm working on making my database layers a bit more abstract, and I'm just curious how you all handle inserting and updating to tables through your CFCs. I've gotten quite good at breaking out the SELECT pieces via getMyRecordset type functions, but can't quite figure out the best way to abstract INSERT and UPDATE statements. My biggest question is how to get all of the FORM data into the CFC without relying on FORM.whatever. The only thing I can think of at the moment is to actually pass each form variable in as an argument, but I can imagine how that could quickly get out of hand with some of the rather large tables I need to maintain (I don't really want to define 30 or more arguments in my CFCs). Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
