In theory - an alternative way to sort results
Attorneys and their egos! Sheesh! I've got a search function (standard queries) on a site that looks for keywords in a number of fields/tables to return a list of attorneys associated with that keyword. Results are sort alphabetically. But, a couple of folks with big heads are going, Hey, I do more work in that area than Bob does, and I want my name first on the list when you search for that! Oh boy - so, after some head scratching, if I count the instances of the search term (keyCOUNT) in their attorney bio, and figure out how to sort by that first, and then the last name, it should do the trick as my keyCOUNT would give me a sort of weighing formula to use. So in theory, return my original results, use ListValueCount to find the number of instances, read everything back into a new query object along with my keyCOUNT, requery and sort by keyCOUNT, lastNAME. Does that sound like an idea, or can somebody think of a better way to do this? ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:307829 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

I tried this that someone gave me: cffunction name=init cfargument name=dsn cfset variables.dsn = arguments.dsn / cfreturn this /cffunction But that doesn't make sense to me. My dsn is set in application.cfm like so: cfset application.dsn = myDB. So why, variables.dsn above? The 'variables' scope inside of a CFC is the private, global scope of the component. Data in this scope is accessible to any function or code inside the CFC but not by anything outside the CFC, i.e. the calling page. The 'this' scope is also global, but it is also public meaning that it can be read and modified by code outside of the CFC. Many people consider this to be poor encapelization of data and recommend against using it. They also recommended that a component should not use data that is not contained with-in it. So it is considered poor practice to have a component rely on something like the application scope. So most of us would pass the data in, often with this defacto constructor function named 'init' so that it is contained within the object and does not rely on outside data. You can have trouble with things like the application scope when you move CFC to different places in the file system so that the may not be under the 'application' has ColdFusion sees it and thus does not have access to that application scope anymore. I just don't understand what the code is doing. Why is variables.dsn being set to be the value of arguments.dsn? And what exactly does cfreturn this do? Arguments is the scope of the data passed in with the function call. By transferring it to the variables scope allows for this data to pesist for the life of the component, beyond the end of this function call. The return this returns 'this' instigated component to the calling code so that it can be stored and used later. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:307832 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Can you explain how that work and show me an example
of the code I need to put in a cfc.
I tried this that someone gave me:
cffunction name=init
cfargument name=dsn
cfset variables.dsn = arguments.dsn /
cfreturn this
/cffunction
But that doesn't make sense to me. My dsn is set
in application.cfm like so: cfset application.dsn = myDB.
So why, variables.dsn above?
I just don't understand what the code is doing.
Why is variables.dsn being set to be the value of
arguments.dsn? And what exactly does cfreturn this do?
The idea here is to keep you cfc separate from the application so it
is more re-usable. It is good practice to not reference application
scope (or form or session, etc.) directly in your cfc (there are
always exceptions to this, as Tom mentioned a facade earlier). But in
keeping it simple, this init function is receiving the dsn as an
argument and putting it in the variables scope so that the cfc does
not have any knowledge of the application scope.
When you do cfset myNewInstance =
createObject('component','myObj').init(application.dsn) / that is
telling the server to create a new instance. This instance will be put
in the server memory. By using cfreturn this /, the instance is
returned to whatever calls it. In other words, the variable
myNewInstance holds a reference to that object.
If you have the basic setup working, try a cfdump on myObj.
cfset myObj = createObject('component','myObj').init(application.dsn) /
cfdump var=#myObj# /
You'll see what looks like a structure output of all the methods
defined for that object. Some folks like to also add a dump method
to their cfcs.
cffunction name=dump
cfreturn variables /
/cffunction

Re: In theory - an alternative way to sort results
Les, unfortunately when it comes to Egos the order that you determine is normally only roughly related to the order desired. Thus, though I like the idea of looking into a bio and determine ranking by wording, it may be more advisable to let the Attorneys (or whomever) determine their own rankings by practice area and keywords among themselves and you staying safely out of the fight. Then you can establish a ranking by subject (keywords) table: Attorney Subject Ranking You should be able to easily join and display the list by Ranking (high to low) and last name.

Why won't my CFC work! Rick Faircloth wrote: Read inline. Thanks for the info, Matt. I think I've got a handle on those methods. One thing I still haven't been able to get to work is setting up an init function for my db in a cfc. Can you explain how that work and show me an example of the code I need to put in a cfc. I tried this that someone gave me: cffunction name=init cfargument name=dsn cfset variables.dsn = arguments.dsn / cfreturn this /cffunction But that doesn't make sense to me. My dsn is set in application.cfm like so: cfset application.dsn = myDB. So why, variables.dsn above? The 'variables' scope inside of a CFC is the private, global scope of the component. Data in this scope is accessible to any function or code inside the CFC but not by anything outside the CFC, i.e. the calling page. The 'this' scope is also global, but it is also public meaning that it can be read and modified by code outside of the CFC. Many people consider this to be poor encapelization of data and recommend against using it. They also recommended that a component should not use data that is not contained with-in it. So it is considered poor practice to have a component rely on something like the application scope. So most of us would pass the data in, often with this defacto constructor function named 'init' so that it is contained within the object and does not rely on outside data. You can have trouble with things like the application scope when you move CFC to different places in the file system so that the may not be under the 'application' has ColdFusion sees it and thus does not have access to that application scope anymore. I just don't understand what the code is doing. Why is variables.dsn being set to be the value of arguments.dsn? And what exactly does cfreturn this do? Arguments is the scope of the data passed in with the function call. By transferring it to the variables scope allows for this data to pesist for the life of the component, beyond the end of this function call. The return this returns 'this' instigated component to the calling code so that it can be stored and used later. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:307844 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

I tried this that someone gave me:

But that doesn't make sense to me. My dsn is set

So why, variables.dsn above?
I just don't understand what the code is doing.
Why is variables.dsn being set to be the value of
arguments.dsn? And what exactly does cfreturn this do?
The idea here is to keep you cfc separate from the application so it
is more re-usable. It is good practice to not reference application
scope (or form or session, etc.) directly in your cfc (there are
always exceptions to this, as Tom mentioned a facade earlier). But in
keeping it simple, this init function is receiving the dsn as an
argument and putting it in the variables scope so that the cfc does
not have any knowledge of the application scope.
When you do cfset myNewInstance =
createObject('component','myObj').init(application.dsn) / that is
telling the server to create a new instance. This instance will be put
in the server memory. By using cfreturn this /, the instance is
returned to whatever calls it. In other words, the variable
myNewInstance holds a reference to that object.
If you have the basic setup working, try a cfdump on myObj.
cfset myObj = createObject('component','myObj').init(application.dsn) /
cfdump var=#myObj# /
You'll see what looks like a structure output of all the methods
defined for that object. Some folks like to also add a dump method
to their cfcs.
cffunction name=dump
cfreturn variables /
/cffunction
With that, you can do this:
cfdump var=#myObj.dump()# /
That will show you the values that are held within the variables scope
(doing this you will also see each function definition).
I just got Ian's post. He explains the different scopes.
I think one of the main things you'll need to grasp first is that when
you create this object, it exists in memory and holds data and
functions with which you can interact. Because of this, you'll want to
think about what scope an object should exist within. An object that
holds information specific to one user makes sense to be in session
scope. But an object that can be used by many users should probably be
in application scope. This is one of the advantages Object Oriented
programming. Otherwise you are just creating and destroying objects
for every request and may as well do it inline or with cfincluded

Model Glue - Global variables help?
I've gotten my head around my first Model Glue app, except one thing - Global variables. I googled and googled, and used some examples, but still having no luck.

Re: Deviceatlas and ColdFusion
I have API.class in JVM and java settings in cf administrator. Today I tried create java object. I used following line: cfobject class=mobi.mtld.da.Api name=API type=java action=create First, I'd just put this class in WEB-INF/classes instead of some other directory. That directory is already in the classpath. Second, your class attribute indicates that the package is mobi.mtld.da, which means you need that corresponding directory structure (WEB-INF/classes/mobi/mtld/da/Api.class). I seem to recall you had a jar file, though. If so, you can put it in WEB-INF/lib. Assuming it contains the package structure listed above, that should be all you need to do.

Re: Deviceatlas and ColdFusion
I have API.class in JVM and java settings in cf administrator. Today I tried create java object. I used following line: cfobject class=mobi.mtld.da.Api name=API type=java action=create First, I'd just put this class in WEB-INF/classes instead of some other directory. That directory is already in the classpath. Second, your class attribute indicates that the package is mobi.mtld.da, which means you need that corresponding directory structure (WEB-INF/classes/mobi/mtld/da/Api.class). I seem to recall you had a jar file, though. If so, you can put it in WEB-INF/lib. Assuming it contains the package structure listed above, that should be all you need to do.

Re: cfquery function to do this?
I had something like this once upon a time. I think I had to manipulate the data so that I had leading and trailing commas in the list in table. This was so I wouldn't get false matches, such as 6 being found in this list: 1,16,8. If you can do that, this might work. cfquery ... select col1, col2 from mytable where 1=0 cfloop list=2,6 index=i OR col2 Like '%,#i#,%' /cfloop /cfquery If you can't make sure of the leading and trailing commas (which is somewhat an ugly solution), you will have to do some looping over queries. I'll defer to someone else for how this would work because the only thing I can think of is to get all records and then loop over those results and do a ListFind for each record. And for each record you'd have to loop over the list of criteria too.

Re: In theory - an alternative way to sort results
Does that sound like an idea, or can somebody think of a better way to do this? Tell them you must enter their earnings in the table so you can sort the list in order of work they do, may be they will forget about their request ;-)) Not joking, I would'n take the responsibility of such a political issue. Ask them to define themselves what the rank of every one should have, enter this rank in the table, and let to them the task to maintain this ranking system up to date. Soon, they will ask you to go back to the alphabetical list. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:307855 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

determine host name on CFHTTP redirect
Ok, this goes hand in hand with the CFHTTP bug I reported a few weeks ago. http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/thread.cfm/threadid:56626 I can't figure out how to find the final location returned by the cfhttp tag when it follows a redirect. In other words, cfhttp url=http://www.foo.com; May very well return you the HTML for http://www.bar.com http://www.bar.com/ if foo.com serves up a 301 redirect with a location header pointing to bar.com. However, how can I tell that? The cfhttp struct that is returned doesn't appear to let on that it redirected me. All it returns is the final http status code of the LAST server queried. The only work-around I can think of is to tell cfhttp not to follow redirects, and follow them manually by myself, and then keep track of everything. I think there should be a hostname and or finalurl key that comes back in the cfhttp struct which tells you what you actually got. Otherwise I feel kind of like I'm buying a pig in a poke.

RE: Coldfusion 8 install question
You need to add the data sources into each instance if you plan on actually using them. Unless you have a site using the default instance, you shouldn't need any data sources set up there. I may be wrong, but I seemed to remember if you added data sources to your base instance BEFORE creating the other instances, the data sources will copy over at the time they are created. If you are looking for a magical way to have the data sources automatically add to all instances at once, try Railo. :) -Original Message- From: John P [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 20, 2008 5:39 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Coldfusion 8 install question Our server admin has set up CF8 with 4 instances.

Richard, I found this on the CF7 livedocs comments: == Null Pointers are another name for undefined values.

Not joking, I would'n take the responsibility of such a political issue.

Re: In theory - an alternative way to sort results
OK, first steps to getting this to work are going well. I can run the search, set a query object, and do a CFDUMP and my expected results are there. The only problem I'm having is setting my keyCOUNT variable. cfset req.keyCOUNT = ListValueCountNoCase(results.narrative,req.srch, ) The above always returns zero, regardless of what I do. OK, results.narrative isn't really a list, but a SQL text cell. But, I figured I could treat it as a large list with spaces as delimiters. Guess not. So, what do I need to do to count the number of times req.srch appears in #results.narrative# cfset q_atty = queryNew(atty_id, first_name, last_name, keyCOUNT) cfset n = #results.recordcount# cfloop query=results startrow=1 endrow=#n# cfset req.keyCOUNT = ListValueCountNoCase(results.narrative,req.srch, ) cfset queryAddRow(q_atty) cfset querySetCell(q_atty, atty_id, results.atty_id, results.currentROW) cfset querySetCell(q_atty, first_name, results.first_name, results.currentROW) cfset querySetCell(q_atty, last_name, results.last_name, results.currentROW) cfset querySetCell(q_atty, keycount, req.keyCOUNT, results.currentROW) /cfloop ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:307886 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

RE: Waaahhhh! Why won't my CFC work!
Your point is well-taken, Charlie. And yes, I do use CF, but I need some language to program in and CF is so easy to program. However, I don't depend on any IDE for coding. I stay away from wizards, etc. I hand-code everything, except for what I borrow from others. I just like to understand my code and not get stuck if a program should become unavailable. Now, depending on a foundation program, such as CF is a little different than what I'm talking about. But no, I have never used Dreamweaver, and, after using Eclipse for a few months, I gave it up. Not because Eclipse wasn't suitable... it didn't generate any code for me...but because I couldn't get it to function with CFE, SVN, and FTP the way I wanted. It was my fault, but I just needed to put it aside for the time being to get some work done. And yes, Subversion, like Windows, is a tool I use in my work, but it doesn't do the work for me. Subversion just watches my back as I work. But the whole point about Model Glue or any other framework is that it probably does a lot of stuff I wouldn't understand, and if something went wrong, then I might not be able to fix it. Now, I'm just expressing a view from a perspective of ignorance, not having used any frameworks. That's why I said I'd take a look...I would just do it with some trepidation.

Just whatever IDE you were using :) A framework doesn't do your work for you either. Just like a hammer doesn't build a house... it's just a tool that you use to make your life easier.

Just like any tool, you need to invest time to learn how to use it properly. a hammer might not be the best example here... i'm fairly certain even will tomlinson can use a hammer.

Sure, it'll do stuff you don't understand. At first. The first time I saw Model-Glue code I was pretty overwhelmed. Not sure what you mean by if something went wrong. If something goes wrong, it throws an error (and you can output debug info to the screen), and you debug it just like any non-frameworked code. most of the frameworks have a mailing list as well. I just like to avoid dependence unless it's necessary or there's a great benefit from the risk. I still don't really view it as a dependency as much as a tool.

Re: Waaahhhh! Why won't my CFC work!
Rick, you're showing the signs of the frustration I felt when i was starting to learn this stuff.Dont worry - it all comes clear in the end. There is a problem for the newbie into OO coldfusion in that there is a whole host of other OO languages around that are supplying concepts and terminology to this.As soon as you learn what one word means, another pops up.As soon as you think you're getting the hang of it, someone uses a new term you havent heard before, and you get all depressed because there's yet another concept to learn about. Often, there are concepts in one technology that also exist in other techologies but they have different names. Or there's these things called design patterns. (which simply means the style of structuring you code components to do the job) and when someone develops a design pattern they often invent terminology to describe the concepts behind it. But dont let it steer you off. I struggled to understand all these new terms at first, then i suddenly realised - i dont need to care about all those terms, as long as i get the basic concepts and techniques right. I can learn the terminology later.Once i got that, everything went simpler. I didnt have to know what 'encapsulation' was or what a facade was, or why the init function had to have all the values in the 'variable' scope, as long as i did it. And later on, i came to see why i needed to use the variables scope, and i came to see that i had been encapsulating my code without knowing what it meant. There are some on this list who are immensely helpful. They must surely be helping us at the cost of their own productivity. There are others, (who i wont name) who I think go out of their way to strut their own superior knowledge to impress all the others on this list - 'look how clever I am' without helping you at all.I guess you'll figure out who is in which group, pay attention to the advice of the one group and ignore the other. There are some things I suggest you just accept for now, on the understanding that you'll eventually see the wisdom. I suggest you adopt these as rules to follow, for the mean time, which will help you get things rolling, and you can decide whether to continue using them or not later on as you get your head around all the concepts: [A] encapsulate - in other words, never require a CFC to know about anything outside it. If a CFC needs to know something, pass it in as an argument to the method, or in the init method [B] Never put any display code in a CFC. Treat all your CFCs as though they are new functions in ColdFusion (which they are really) and call the method, get a result, then use the code on your calling page to format the result into display. [C] any time you catch yourself writing code you've done before, consider whether thats time to put that code into a cfc where the one bit of code can be used in both places as a cfc. [D] never put a query in your page code. Always put it into a CFC. Preferably all your queries on a table in the same CFC. (this is commonly called a gateway or a DAO cfc, but dont let the terminology bamboozle you). So if you have 5 tables in your app, you would have 5 CFCs handling database access. If you follow that procedure, you'll see the benefit when you have to make a change to your database!! [E] inside a function, ALWAYS var your variables. (Sorry, there's some jargon - I was trying to avoid using jargon).In other words, if you are using a variable inside the function called 'dateadded', then at the top of the function, the first few lines after the arguments, put something like the following: cfset var dateadded = / What that does is make sure that the value of 'dateadded' will only be available inside this function. IF there is any other variable called 'dateadded' somewhere else in your app, it wont overwrite the value of dateadded here. This keeps your cfcs thread safe. Imagine if you have 30 people all accessing a page at once. Then you could have one person's value of 'dateadded' overwrite another 'dateadded', in use by someone else somewhere else in the application.. [F] an init function looks like this: cffunction name=init access=Public returntype=componentname output=false hint=Initialises the controller cfargument name=dsn required=true type=string / cfset variables.dsn = config.getDatasource() / cfreturn this / /cffunction (dont 'var' your variables in the init() function or they wont be available elsewhere in the CFC). And when you want to use a dsn name elsewhere in this component, in other functions, you do it like this; cfquery name=qQueryname datasource=#variables.dsn# SELECT * from tablename /cfquery That way, you pass in the datasource name (also other configuration variables like passwords, usernames, local time, ) when you instantiate the CFC and any other method in the CFC can use them without needing them passed in. For now, just
page self refresh whenever database gets new input
Hi, I'm having a system that has two different consoles one for people input data, and other for people view data. One isn't connected to the other. Meaning, they work separatedly but at the same time. If there is a new input, then the new input will show on the diplay console right away, no need to hit any key nor button to refresh the page. The idea similar to MS Outlook. Whenever a new mail comes, it just shows up by itself. Or just like a stock reports with live feeding. Is there any way to do this in cold fusion ? Database is MS Access.

Now, depending on a foundation program, such as CF is a little different than what I'm talking about. if Model-Glue (or Fusebox or Mach-ii or ColdBox or... ) were to cease all development today, your existing code would still work fine, no different than if ColdFusion were to stop being produced. But no, I have never used Dreamweaver, and, after using Eclipse for a few months, I gave it up. Not because Eclipse wasn't suitable... it didn't generate any code for me...but because I couldn't get it to function with CFE, SVN, and FTP the way I wanted. It was my fault, but I just needed to put it aside for the time being to get some work done. And yes, Subversion, like Windows, is a tool I use in my work, but it doesn't do the work for me. Subversion just watches my back as I work. Ah, I thought you had gone from DW to Eclipse and back. Either way, I wasn't trying to single out a particular IDE. Just whatever IDE you were using :) A framework doesn't do your work for you either. Just like a hammer doesn't build a house... it's just a tool that you use to make your life easier. Is there a learning curve? Sure. Just like any tool, you need to invest time to learn how to use it properly. a hammer might not be the best example here... i'm fairly certain even will tomlinson can use a hammer. But you get my point. It's a consistent way of doing what you do now. You just need to learn that way. But the whole point about Model Glue or any other framework is that it probably does a lot of stuff I wouldn't understand, and if something went wrong, then I might not be able to fix it. Now, I'm just expressing a view from a perspective of ignorance, not having used any frameworks. That's why I said I'd take a look...I would just do it with some trepidation. Again, learning curve. Sure, it'll do stuff you don't understand. At first. The first time I saw Model-Glue code I was pretty overwhelmed. Not sure what you mean by if something went wrong. If something goes wrong, it throws an error (and you can output debug info to the screen), and you debug it just like any non-frameworked code. most of the frameworks have a mailing list as well. I just like to avoid dependence unless it's necessary or there's a great benefit from the risk. I still don't really view it as a dependency as much as a tool. Either way, I'm not trying to ruffle feathers or rile the non-framework crowd. I just wanted you to look at it in the proper perspective, whichever route you choose to go. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:307895 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
RE: Waaahhhh! Why won't my CFC work!
Wow, Mike! Thanks for the great intro primer! I'd be happy to look at your CFC's. Perhaps they would clarify my understanding. I really just need to see an example from start to finish of a situation where there's a db, say myDatabase, see how that is initialized with the init function, see how createObject is used in relation to functions within a CFC, and how the data is output. Some of that I'm grasping. But I haven't been able to put together functioning, start-to-finish, code yet. I'm using CFC's, but so far I can only make them work with cfinvoke... I seem to understand the code more intuitively. But the idea of putting objects into memory using createObject is fascinating and I hope I can get that working. I'm having to do this on-the-fly however...trying to learn this on a current, should-have-been-done-yesterday project, so I have little time for trial and error. (A frustrating way to work and, especially, to learn!) Anyway, whatever you care to share is appreciated! And thanks again for taking the time to type up the primer! Rick -Original Message- From: Mike Kear [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 20, 2008 10:49 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Waaa! Why won't my CFC work! Rick, you're showing the signs of the frustration I felt when i was starting to learn this stuff.Dont worry - it all comes clear in the end. There is a problem for the newbie into OO coldfusion in that there is a whole host of other OO languages around that are supplying concepts and terminology to this.As soon as you learn what one word means, another pops up.As soon as you think you're getting the hang of it, someone uses a new term you havent heard before, and you get all depressed because there's yet another concept to learn about. Often, there are concepts in one technology that also exist in other techologies but they have different names. Or there's these things called design patterns. (which simply means the style of structuring you code components to do the job) and when someone develops a design pattern they often invent terminology to describe the concepts behind it. But dont let it steer you off. I struggled to understand all these new terms at first, then i suddenly realised - i dont need to care about all those terms, as long as i get the basic concepts and techniques right. I can learn the terminology later.Once i got that, everything went simpler. I didnt have to know what 'encapsulation' was or what a facade was, or why the init function had to have all the values in the 'variable' scope, as long as i did it. And later on, i came to see why i needed to use the variables scope, and i came to see that i had been encapsulating my code without knowing what it meant. There are some on this list who are immensely helpful. They must surely be helping us at the cost of their own productivity. There are others, (who i wont name) who I think go out of their way to strut their own superior knowledge to impress all the others on this list - 'look how clever I am' without helping you at all.I guess you'll figure out who is in which group, pay attention to the advice of the one group and ignore the other. There are some things I suggest you just accept for now, on the understanding that you'll eventually see the wisdom. I suggest you adopt these as rules to follow, for the mean time, which will help you get things rolling, and you can decide whether to continue using them or not later on as you get your head around all the concepts: [A] encapsulate - in other words, never require a CFC to know about anything outside it.

Re: Waaahhhh! Why won't my CFC work!
Ok i'll write up a little treatise on CFCs in a real estate app for you - a simple one that just manages inserts, edits, deletes and queries on a table of property listings. I'll take one that i use for my client (the one i think is the same as yours) and fictionalise it a bit to protect the IP of my client. You'll see how it works, and how you can integrate it with your user interface code. Also it will mean i can share it with others if they want. (I'd blog it but i'm too lazy to maintain a blog - i dont have one. I know what they're like to keep going - i had one years ago before they were called blogs.). There's a WHOLE LOT more you can learn but i'll keep it to the basics for you and try to keep jargon out of it. Another nice thing about having a defined pattern to your code, is that you can have other stuff write a lot of the code for you.I have a little application I wrote to examine a database table, and write all the queries to add/delete/edit/read from it and produce the CFCs for me - that's too advanced for you just yet but if you see that at work, you can see one of the benefits of using patterns to your code. That's what some of these frameworks do - things lke Transfer and Reactor for example recognise when you add a field to your database table and re-write your CFCs to match. Without ever seeing that at work, I am sure you can see how that would be of benefit to you as a developer where time represents dollars. Coldspring is another tool - it knows how to instantiate your CFCs and whenever you call for a CFC, Coldspring knows what to do and just creates it for you, guaranteeing it feeds the CFC everything it needs to know. And it knows which CFCs to cache in memory and which to destroy after each use. It's a marvel! But for now lets leave all that stuff aside, with the understanding you'll want to know about that a bit down the track. I'll write some stuff tonight for you and hopefully have it for you tomorrow.It's Saturday night and i dont have anything to do. (jeez i'm OLD already!!) Man you've come a long way in a short time - from being in the ColdFusion stone age (i.e. CF4 wasn't it?) only a few months ago, now you're moving up to the cutting edge.Believe me, when i jumped into this OO pool, it revolutionised the way i write applications, and made possible - even easy - things i'd have scratched my head about in the old days, thinking that was beyond my capabilities.

No, there shouldn't he any problems storing a comma delimited list-- it's just bad normalization since a list isn't an atomic value.
