Re: [Reactor for CF] Record object Question...?

hey thanks Jared... and for the quick response too... sal Jared Rypka-Hauer wrote: <cfif len(obj.getUserId())> is usually how people do it, but that can be frustrating if it returns 0, which means it hasn't been loaded too. <cfif len(User.getUserId()) and User.getUserId()> will cover you if your userId is 0 (which means nothing's been loaded because 0 isn't a valid pkey value in most cases).

What would be best practice to see if a record object has been loaded or not? my current script is as follows: <cfif len(userRecord)> <cfset arguments.event.setValue("badLogin","Invalid Username or Password") /> <cfset arguments.event.addResult("notLoggedIn") /> <cfelse> <cfset session.isLoggedIn = true /> <cfset session.username = #userRecord.getuserName()# /> <cfset arguments.event.addResult("loggedIn") /> </cfif> "userRecord" being the object... I'm getting the following error: Complex object types cannot be converted to simple values. *Detail* The _expression_ has requested a variable or an intermediate _expression_ result as a simple value, however, the result cannot be converted to a simple value. Simple values are strings, numbers, boolean values, and date/time values. Queries, arrays, and COM objects are examples of complex values. The most likely cause of the error is that you are trying to use a complex value as a simple one. For example, you might be trying to use a query variable in a <CFIF> tag. This was possible in ColdFusion 2.0 but creates an error in later versions. thanks in advance... sal -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Reactor for ColdFusion Mailing List reactor@doughughes.net Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/reactor%40doughughes.net/ -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Reactor for ColdFusion Mailing List reactor@doughughes.net Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/reactor%40doughughes.net/ -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Reactor for ColdFusion Mailing List reactor@doughughes.net Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/reactor%40doughughes.net/ -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
