So all this would be *within* the doCheckout() function?
I guess this gets to the heart of my struggle... When I'm inside the
doCheckout function, am I working on the session.user? Or a reference to it?
Or a snapshot of it?
Basically, am I doing the right thing in passing the whole session.user into
the doCheckout() function? (There's nothing in the session.user which
doCheckout doesn't need to know about...)
[My next question will probably be about locking again! I'm worried my
doCheckout() will take ages because it has a bunch of database calls and a
rather slow web service call to do before it will return anything...]
Many thanks,
Geoff
Ps. I've changed my checkout.cfc so that doCheckout() accepts an argument of
type "user"
<cfcomponent displayName="Checkout" output="false" hint="Checkout CFC">
<cffunction name="doCheckout" access="public" returntype="struct">
<cfargument name="referencetouser" type="user" required="yes"/>
<cfset var shippingid=""/>
<cfset var billingsuccess="">
<cfset
shippingid=insertAddressIntoDatabase(referencetouser.getAddress())>
<!--- Do various other things, including billing the card --->
<cfset
billingsuccess=SomeFunctionWhichMayTakeAgesToComplete(referencetouser.getCar
dDetais())>
<cfreturn SomeStructWithOrderDetails />
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="insertAddressIntoDatabase" access="private"
returntype="numeric">
<cfargument name="address" type="struct" required="yes"/>
<cfset var shippingid="">
<!--- Stick address in db, return id --->
<cfreturn shippingid/>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
