Yeah, we're on CF8 for better or worse. So I redid the previous function to
look like this:
<CFFUNCTION name="getPrograms_a" access="public" returntype="Array">
<CFSET VAR local = {}>
<CFINVOKE method="getPrograms_q" returnvariable="q_programs">
<CFSET local.a_programs = ArrayNew(1)>
<CFLOOP query="q_programs">
<CFSET local.o_program = createObject('component',
'#REQUEST.cfcPathDot#.Program').init(programID = q_programs.ProgramID)>
<CFSET ArrayAppend(local.a_programs, local.o_program)>
</CFLOOP>
<CFRETURN local.a_programs>
</CFFUNCTION>
And I'm getting the correct info back now. Last two questions. 1) should I
not worry about running 'createObject' on the same local.o_program structure
member everytime? It's not completely obvious to me how 'local' magic is
working. And is there not a memory leak issue with running createObject on
every iteration? 2) Should my previous version have worked? I don't mind
doing this 'local' trick everywhere, but I am curious about why the original
wasn't working properly.
Thanks!
