hi i have copied this example and it all seems fine except for the line i place within the onRequestStart method.
if i place the line of code: <cfset variables.udfs = application.udfs> in the page itself then it works fine when i call a function, however if i place this line of code in the onRequestStart method instead then it says udfs is indefined is there any reason for this? thanks >I'd say this was absolutley fine. I'd put the includes in >OnApplicationStart and then put each udf into the application scope to >avoid including the files on each request (well I'd actually use >Model-Glue 3 but this is what I'd do if I was doing what you're >doing); something like: > ><cffunction name="onApplicationStart"> > ... > <cfinclude template="theUdfs.cfm"> > <cfinclude template="theUdfs2.cfm"> > ... > > <cfset application.udfs = StructNew()> > > <cfset application.udfs.MyFunction1 = MyFunction1> > <cfset application.udfs.MyFunction2 = MyFunction2> > <cfset application.udfs.MyFunction3 = MyFunction3> > ... ></cffunction> > >Then, to avoid verbosity when calling a udf, I'd add this line in >OnRequestStart() > ><cffunction name="onRequestStart"> > ... > <cfset variables.udfs = application.udfs> > ... ></cffunction> > >This has created a custom 'scope', if you will (its not but hey), >called 'udfs' - Model-Glue 3 creates one called 'helpers' which might >be another name you'd like. So now, when you need MyFunction1, you can >call it cleanly as: > ><cfset foo = udfs.MyFunction1(bar)> > >That idea is off the top of my head and probably bonkers but it works >for me ;) Nothing wrong with what you are doing. > >Dominic > >2008/5/19 Richard White <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: >> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:305913 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
