Subject: [CFCDev] How to find out information about the type of object you are using.Hi all,----------------------------------------------------------
I'm trying to use a DAO component and a Bean to update details submitted by a form. I'm tryng to use the method that Joe Reinhart set out in his blog (http://clearsoftware.net/client/index.cfm?mode=entry&entry=3D1115E7-E081-2BAC-6953DA4394855DDB ) where you use a Bean to gather all the form fields together, then pass the Bean object to DAO object, and the update query.
Unfortunately everytime I pass my Bean to the DAO object I get an error message telling me that it's not an object type of my Bean! Is there anyway I can check, what my Bean object contains and what type it is.
Here's what my code looks like:
contactDetails = createObject("component", "Helpdesk_dev.cfc.Beans.ContactDetailsBean");
contactDetails.SetDRBNumber('#FORM.txtDRBNumber#');
contactDetails.SetDRBName('#FORM.txtDRBName#');
contactDetails.SetAddress1('#FORM.txtAddress1#');
contactDetails.SetAddress2('#FORM.txtAddress2#');
contactDetails.SetAddress3('#FORM.txtAddress3#');
contactDetails.SetAddress4('#FORM.txtTown#');
contactDetails.SetPostcode('#FORM.txtPostcode#');
contactDetails.SetHeadName ('#FORM.txtContactName#');
contactDetails.SetHeadTelNo('#FORM.txtContactTel#');
contactDetails.SetHeadFaxNo('#FORM.txtContactFax#');
contactDetails.SetHeadEmail('#FORM.txtContactEmail#');
// pass Bean containing form field details to update method
objContactDetails = createObject("component", "Helpdesk_dev.cfc.DAO.DrbDAO").init(#application.DSN#);
updatedContactDetails = objContactDetails.update(contactDetails);
Then the update method from the DAO bean looks like this:
<cffunction name="update" access="public" returntype="struct" output="false">
<cfargument name="contactDetails" type="ContactDetailsBean" required="true" />
<cfquery name="updateContactDetails" datasource="#variables.DSN#">
UPDATE tbl_Contact_details
SET Address1 = '#contactDetails.GetAddress1()#',
Address2 = '#contactDetails.GetAddress2()#',
Address3 = '#contactDetails.GetAddress3()#',
Address4 = '#contactDetails.GetAddress4()#',
PostCode = '#contactDetails.GetPostcode()#',
Name_of_head = '#contactDetails.GetHeadName()#',
TelNo_of_head = '#contactDetails.GetHeadTelNo()#',
FaxNo_of_head = '#contactDetails.GetHeadFaxNo()#',
Email_of_head = '#contactDetails.GetHeadEmail()#'
WHERE DRB_Number = '#contactDetails.GetDRBNumber()#'
</cfquery>
</cffunction>
I'm stumped by this?
