Hi everyone, I am using the Fusebox 4 framework with CFCs (my company doesn't want to use mach-ii by now) and still quite new to the OOP approach.
My Validation process initiates each time I call my setter-methods in the CFC. Usually the validation processes when I call the method setObjectByStruct(struct). The argument struct can then be a query or attributes from a form. Data coming from the query doesn't need to be validated so the setObjectByStruct(struct,structtype) is given the optional argument structtype. This argument initiates the validation before setting the data to the CFC's property (<cfif structtype neq "query">...do validation...</cfif>). If an error occurred during the validation process the CFC's method setError(datafield, message) is called. Through the getError() method I can then check for errors and output some kind of message to the user. What are your opinions about this validation process?

For instance, we have objects which store configuration information - these are stateful (in fact, they're singletons). We have other objects which are used to connect to stock pricing services - these all conform to the same interface (or same base class in CF) and they are stateful as well. The main API into our system, however, is not stateful - you do indeed pass the key arguments into each method on every call. This is done for several reasons, among them being flexibility. The nice part is that we can use the API both for our own ends _and_ expose the entire as an API as a WebService for our clients without having to rewrite anything. Since WebServices, by definition, are not stateful, our API cannot be either. Hope that helps!

When you created CFCs, are they stateful in that they store data for the duration of the request or do you use them as mere function libraries? In other words, do you pass arguments to each and every method that is declared in the CFC? Thanks M!ke ---------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to cfcdev.
