Bobby,
This is kind of expanding the scope of the initial question, but
using http.request_method can cause other problems down the road -
especially when pages have multiple forms, or multiple submits (i.e.
- an Update and Delete submits).
Better always to use the isDefined('FORM.submitName') to determine
which business logic gets executed.
It's just my preference, but it also seems to me that a separate
action page for forms is redundant if you encapsulate your business
logic into CFC's.
You can accomplish all you need to do in a single script block at the
top of the template (or the equivalent in CFML tags):
<cfscript>
mycomponent = createObject("component","components.component");
if (isDefined('FORM.update')){
dataupdated = mycomponent.doUpdate(FORM);
};
if (isDefined('FORM.delete')){
datadeleted = mycomponent.doDelete(FORM.mydeletevar);
};
</cfscript>
Just my 2 cents,
Jon
