RE: [CFCDev] Page context bug workaround

[Steven Erat]

Title: Message

Ah... I should never try to compose an email after a coding session without first decompressing.  ;-)

 

I was asking the list if the pagecontext bug that had been mentioned often, but not elaborated on, was in fact the same bug that you pointed out was fixed in U3.

 

Nathan replied just "no" ... my fault for asking a closed-ended question. ( and a poorly written one)

 

Brandon Purcell elaborated a bit off list, but we still didn't clear it up, yet.

 

Either way, I believe they agree that this sore spot is not the getPageContext().forward("page.cfm") issue.  I'm just looking for either a bug number or a good explanation so I can either followup on the bug status or log one if necessary.  Then, if needed, I can try to advocate for a bug fix as soon as possible on behalf of the list.

Steve, did you leave off a keystroke or two? Is that a question or a statement?

 

I had pointed out earlier today that the forward() method was now working. Just not clear what you're trying to say here. :-)

Is the page context problem that has been widely discussed today?

 

 

CFMX Updater 3 Release notes: Issues fixed in this release

Using getpageContext().forward('pagename.cfm') to do a server side redirect threw an err.io.short_read error if there is any data in the Form scope.

You're right Nathan.

Your method during the constructor is more elegant than cf_reinit and generates less overhead than cf_reinit.

 

Hope that MM will solve this page context problem in an updater...

Till then, we might have to replace the "temporarly" cf_reinit bug fix by this workaround approach for production use!
