Hey everybody,
I'm experiencing so strangeness with sessions and am hoping you folks could
shed some light on on what's happening. I have a cart app in MG 3.1.299.
When I complete an order and delete the cart from the session and show the
order complete page a dump of the session shows the cart is no longer in
the session scope. However, another call to the session on the same page
shows the cart as a valid struct within the session.
In my Controller.cfc I have an onRequestStart function that copies the cart
and the user (if they exist) to the event scope. I also have it copying the
entire session through the UserSession.cfc to try to figure this out. Here
are the pertinent parts of my controller.cfc and userSession.cfc:
*Controller.cfc*
<cffunction name="onRequestStart" access="public" output="false">
<cfargument name="event" type="any">
<!--- copy the cart to the event scope if it exists. --->
<cfif beans.UserSession.cartExists()>
<cfset arguments.event.setValue("currentCart",
beans.UserSession.getCurrentCart())>
</cfif>
<!--- and for the user if they're logged in. --->
<cfif beans.UserSession.loggedIn()>
<cfset arguments.event.setValue("currentUser",
beans.UserSession.getCurrentUser())>
</cfif>
<!--- return the whole session for some testing --->
<cfset arguments.event.setValue("userSession",
beans.UserSession.getSession())>
</cffunction>
*UserSession.cfc*
<cffunction name="cartExists" access="public" output="false">
<cflock timeout="3" type="readonly" scope="session">
<cfreturn structKeyExists( session, "cart" )>
</cflock>
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="getCurrentCart" access="public" output="false">
<cflock timeout="3" type="readonly" scope="session">
<cfreturn session.cart>
</cflock>
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="getCurrentUser" access="public" output="false">
<cflock timeout="3" type="readonly" scope="session">
<cfreturn session.user>
</cflock>
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="getSession" access="public" output="false">
<cflock timeout="3" type="readonly" scope="session">
<cfreturn session>
</cflock>
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="loggedIn" access="public" output="false">
<cflock timeout="3" type="readonly" scope="session">
<cfreturn structKeyExists( session, "user" )>
</cflock>
</cffunction>
In my template I have a chink of code that displays a link to the cart if
it exists and has at least one item in it:
If I use the currentCart variable set in Controller.cfc, it returns the
cart from the session after the order is processed even though a cfdump of
the session shows it isn't there.
<cfif isStruct(variables.currentCart) and
variables.currentCart.getItemCount() gte 1>
<div class="row-fluid">
<div id="viewCart" class="span12">
<a href="#click_ViewCart#">Your cart: <span
class="bold">#variables.currentCart.getItemCount()#</span> item<cfif
variables.currentCart.getItemCount() neq 1>s</cfif></a> <a
href="#click_ViewCart#"><img src="images/shoppingCart.png" alt="view
cart"></a>
</div>
</div>
</cfif>
*The display section still shows up after the order is complete*.
But, If I use the entire getSession function from the Controller.cfc it
acts as it's supposed to:
<cfif structKeyExists(variables.userSession, "cart") and
variables.userSession.cart.getItemCount() gte 1>
<div class="row-fluid">
<div id="viewCart" class="span12">
<a href="#click_ViewCart#">Your cart: <span
class="bold">#variables.userSession.cart.getItemCount()#</span> item<cfif
variables.userSession.cart.getItemCount() neq 1>s</cfif></a> <a
href="#click_ViewCart#"><img src="images/shoppingCart.png" alt="view
cart"></a>
</div>
</div>
</cfif>
*The display section doesn't show up after the order is complete.*
How can one call to the session return that the cart doesn't exist and then
a second, later call to the session on the same page return that it does?
Thank you for looking at this,
Jeff P.
