Not if any value has a comma in it. You can use other delimiters, but then you just have a different problem.

RE: Storing Arrays or Structures in a database
Arrays are easy as you can simply use Arraytolist() to convert it to a delimited text string and then use ListtoArray() to convert back once you get it out. Though, CF has some really nice list functions, so you might not even have to do that. Also, select boxes return comma separated lists back to CF when a form is submitted (ditto for checkboxes with the same name)... So that might work in your favor.

Re: Storing Arrays or Structures in a database
Keep in mind that WDDX adds quite a bit of extra stuff around your data as compared to JSON. For example, take this ColdFusion array: cfset myArray = [John,Paul,George,Ringo] Here is the serialized JSON version: [John,Paul,George,Ringo] Here is the WDDX version: wddxPacket version='1.0'header/dataarray length='4'stringJohn/stringstringPaul/stringstringGeorge/stringstringRingo/string/array/data/wddxPacket The larger the array or structure, the bigger the bloat from WDDX, and the more database space required to store it. This needs to be considered when designing your database columns. HTH, Carl On 4/6/2011 10:52 AM, Michael Grant wrote: Serialize them as JSON or WDDX and store them as text.

Re: Storing Arrays or Structures in a database
Another way to do it is to serialize the object in a base64 string.
I've had some great success using this method to persist complex
objects to the database.
cfscript
function serializeObject(object){
var local = structNew();
local.byteOut = createObject(java, java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream);
local.byteOut.init();
local.objOut= createObject(java, java.io.ObjectOutputStream);
local.objOut.init(local.byteOut);
local.objOut.writeObject(arguments.object);
local.objOut.close();
return toBase64(local.byteOut.toByteArray());
}
function deserializeObject(objectString){
var local = structNew();
local.inputStream = createObject(java,
java.io.ByteArrayInputStream);
local.objIn = createObject(java, java.io.ObjectInputStream);
local.returnObj = ;
local.inputStream.init(toBinary(arguments.objectString));
local.objIn.init(local.inputStream);
local.returnObj = local.objIn.readObject();
local.objIn.close();
return local.returnObj;
}
/cfscript
I've been using this in http://sessionswap.riaforge.org/ for a long time.

When you retrieve the data back out of the database, use cfwddx again to

Just make sure that your db field can handle a decent sized chunk of data,
especially if you are allowing user defined data in this column as the WDDX

I was mostly just being pedantic. :) It works fine out of the box most the time. And for the rest of the time, there's json.cfc, as Andrew mentioned. :) No joke that it's way better than WDDX.

Re: Looping through arrays with structures
No worries. An honest mistake. I've actually never used the Array attribute since I've been looping this way for 10 years. And unless it's inherently faster (which I doubt) I suspect I never will. I actually prefer my loops to use an int as the index. That was I've always got an easily available currentrow-like variable.

yes, as jason pinted out, arrayappend() function differs from listappend() - with arrayappend() one should not set the array to the function's return: with arrayappend: cfset arrayappend(arrayvar, value_to_append) but with listappend() one has to do: cfset prev_defined_list_var = listappend(prev_defined_list_var, new_value_to_append) Azadi Saryev Sabai-dee.com http://www.sabai-dee.com/ Priya Koya wrote: I am getting an error here: *session.pageList = arrayAppend( session.pageList, structNew() ) * Error: Object of type class java.lang.Boolean cannot be used as an array On Wed, Mar 11, 2009 at 9:55 AM, Jason Fisher ja...@wanax.com wrote: You're setting the value of session.pageList to the string arrayNew(), which is throwing your error.

it's been said over and over in this thread. arrayAppend() returns a boolean. if you do cfset session.pageList = arrayAppend(myArray, structNew()) /, you're essentially setting the value of session.pageList to true. Then, when you try to run an array function on session.pageList, you get the error because it's not an array. it's a boolean whose value is true. read thru the replies and you'll see. you're asking for help and people are trying to give it to you, but you don't seem to want to take it. cfset arrayAppend(myArray, structNew()) /. that will fix your problems.

Yes, it was, Charlie just explained this again for you. cfset arrayAppend(session.pageList, structNew() would solve the problems you have told us about.

I don't believe that it ever does return false and the docs do not indicate that it does. Indeed, it is almost certainly using the add method of the java AbstractList object (from which it inherits).

Thanks for the info, Dominic.

Re: Append Arrays with Structures
Ah, we are at cross wires! I was citing the java method as a possible reason for the function only ever returning true (or my suspicion that it never returns false, in response to Adrian's question) - not for it returning a boolean (which of course it does). Perhaps pre-6 it did sometimes return false, though as David points out, CF has traditionally followed this pattern so quite probably not. The docs may have changed their wording to reflect the wording in the javadocs, if indeed that is the method that is being used. Anyways, I wonder if the OP has found his solution yet ;) Dominic 2009/3/11 C S cfsearch...@yahoo.com: No, I just meant that the function returning a boolean at all probably had nothing to do with the java link.

RE: structures
That looks right. Maybe something else is happening. Is there any more code to show? Here's some sample code to show that what you're after should work... cfscript st = StructNew(); st.a = A; a = a; /cfscript cfoutput p#st.a#/p hr / p#st[a]#/p hr / p#st[a]#/p /cfoutput hr /hr / cfscript ar = ArrayNew(1); ar[1] = StructNew(); ar[1].a = A; a = a; /cfscript cfoutput p#ar[1].a#/p hr / p#ar[1][a]#/p hr / p#ar[1][a]#/p /cfoutput You're not use shorthand to create any of the data collections are you?

Hi Adrian, you are absolutely right, i was creating the structure directly from a query, therefore even though the query is only returning 1 row it is still saving as a complex structure thanks very much, i have now sorted this out!!! thanks again ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:298000 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Create a webservice to accept an array of structures/components

Re: Create a webservice to accept an array of structures/components
Hi Etwan, I think your problem is that gameTest[] is not a valid data type. It is the name of an array, but it is not a datatype. The datatype would simply be an array. This array holds multiple instances of the gameTest object, but still the datatype itself would simply be an array.

RE: Structures
You're limited to one value per key. But the value can be a struct or an array. So you could do: cfset mainStruct = StructNew() / cfset subStruct = StructNew() / cfset subStruct.One = A / cfset subStruct.Two = b / cfset mainStruct.Something = subStruct / Then you would reference the values: mainStruct.Something.One mainStruct.Something.Two __ Dave Konopka http://www.lifelikeweeds.com/tech -Original Message- From: Scott Stewart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 09, 2007 9:25 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Structures No, A and B are separate values. sas -- Scott Stewart ColdFusion Developer SSTWebworks 7241 Jillspring Ct.

RE: Structures
I'm extracting results from a table, over a range of weeks, based on the date range and a pair of values for each range. The pair values are static, but the dates aren't. I'm looping over the dates and values to dynamically build a table. Here's what I've got so far... it works but it's not elegant and it's way slow. !--- This creates the date range -- cfset dtStart = 03/12/2007 cfset dtEnd=#Now()# cfscript eSearch = 0; aSearch = 0; cfSearch = 0; sResults = 0; AI = 0; JI = 0; Th = 0; RecDisp = 0; Browse = 0; ML = 0; rSearch = 0; MPN = 0; crSearch = 0; FTC = 0; OT = 0; /cfscript table border=1 valign=top align=center BORDERCOLOR=Black tr td bgcolor=##CC class=AddRemoveRowsModule/td cfloop index=dtToday from=#dtStart# to=#dtEnd# step=#CreateTimeSpan( 7, 0, 0, 0 )# cfset hitDateStart=#DateFormat(dtToday, mmm d )# cfset hitDateEnd=#DateFormat(DateAdd(ww, 1, #hitDateStart#), mmm d )# cfset dateStruct = StructNew() cfset dateStruct.hitDateStart = #hitDateStart# cfset dateStruct.hitDateEnd = #hitDateEnd# cfoutput td bgcolor=##CC class=AddRemoveRows#hitDateStart# - #hitDateEnd#/td /cfoutput /cfloop /tr !--- end date range --- !--- this queries the table based on the passed dates and a hard coded pair of search values and builds the row --- tr td bgcolor=##CC class=AddRemoveRowsEasy Search/td cfloop index=dtToday from=#dtStart# to=#dtEnd# step=#CreateTimeSpan( 7, 0, 0, 0 )# td class=AddRemoveRows cfset hitDateStart=#DateFormat(dtToday, mmm d )# cfset hitDateEnd=#DateFormat(DateAdd(ww, 1, #hitDateStart#), mmm d )# cfset dateStruct = StructNew() cfset dateStruct.hitDateStart = #hitDateStart# cfset dateStruct.hitDateEnd = #hitDateEnd# cfset dateStruct.HitCircuit = search cfset dateStruct.HitFuseaction = easySearchForm cfset TSHitDrillObj = CreateObject(component, actions.actrptdisplay) cfinvoke component=#TSHitDrillObj# method=TimeSpanHitB returnvariable=qTimeSpanhitDetail argumentcollection=#dateStruct# cfloop query=qTimeSpanhitDetail cfset eSearch = #eSearch# + 1 /cfloop cfoutput#eSearch#/cfoutput /td /cfloop /tr I'm repeating this code block for each value pair, I want to use the block once and loop over the dates and the value pairs.

Re: Structures in Java?
The container takes care of the majority of threading issues for you; only when multiple requests access the same data (i.e. session or application scope) does threading matter to the application developer. If you have request-level data, concurrency isn't be a concern unless you're explicitly multithreading your request. Note that instance variables of shared-scope CFC's count as cross-request data, but local variables inside CFC methods (including arguments) do not. cheers, barneyb On 10/1/06, Mark Mandel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Your probably better off with a java.util.Hashtable, as it is already syncronised (thread safe), and more often than not, where are using Hashtables in a web environment, they need to be thread safe.

Re: Persistance of ColdFusion Structures
a structure in and of itself is just...a variable. Whether or not it persists depends on the scope in which the variable (structure) exists. the form scope (which is a structure) exists on the form's action page, and will not persist beyond that. You could put it into the session scope: cfset session.userFormData = duplicate(form) / Make sure you use duplicate, since structCopy will create a pointer to the form scope/struct, which will cease to exist past the action page. duplicate() creates a deep copy and the new variable will exist on its own, independent of the original structure from which it was copied.
