Hi, all...
I've been writing code for every project I've worked on for the last 10+
years.
I did that purposefully to make myself work in a manner which would,
hopefully,
not cause me to rely on known practices because they were familiar and
understood, but always strive to discover better ways
if you use EXTENDS, then everything in the parent CFC is available tot he
child.
If you want libraries to use on multiple sites, then you would need to put
the components in a central location and then adding a mapping to them.

Alright, that's the confirmation I needed to proceed. So, use 'extends it
is!
Thanks,
Rick

such a scenario? Does the extends functionality of cfc's solve this?
... you're thinking about adding `extends=Application` to your
contact.cfc? If
I have to agree with Matt. You are setting yourself up for a dependency
nightmare if your cfc functions do not encapsulate their logic.

his original post implied he just wants to keep his existing code.
Having global functions in your application.cfc is pretty common evrn if
not a best practice.

However, the contact.cfc has to reference variables setup in the
application.cfc, which exists inside the website root. Unless I place
the application.cfc in the same folder as contact.cfc, it doesn't work.

Your understanding is correct, Matt, but I don't see how your
example is relevant.
In my application.cfc, I've got a line that sets an application variable:
cfset application.siteShortDomain = myShortDomain.com
I need that application.siteShortdomain variable available when contact.cfc
runs.
Dave:
Is contact.cfc part of the same application as the Application.cfc
where the variables are defined?
No, I'm trying to figure out a way to have a common library of cfc's, js,
etc.,
that websites I build can reference.
I saw in other places around the Internet that it's best to keep code
You do it exactly like I said you do it: Pass it in as either an argument
or a property. When you instantiate your contact.cfc, you pass in
everything it needs from outside in order to do its job.
The example I gave is completely relevant, albeit not an example of your
exact situation. I don't

From within any file that's part of that
With AJAX-accessed cfc's you really need them under your web root. CF
mappings won't work with those. Creating a virtual dir in your web server
pointing to the cfc location will do the trick.

From within any file that's part of that application, you can directly
reference application.siteShortDomain:

Any file within the same directory, or any subdirectories that don't
have their own Application.cfc or Application.cfm files, are
Matt, just participate in the conversation without being asinine about it.
I haven't asked anyone to write my code for me. Just looking
for some guidance as to the correct approach.
So, offer your advice in a friendly manner, if you're going to offer
it at all.

Thanks, Azadi...
I was afraid that or creating CF Admin mappings might end up being
the answer. I was trying to find a way of accessing the variables without
a lot of setup for each website. But, virtual directories won't be that much
to do, since the virtual directories will be the same for
sigh I did. And you flatly stated that my example is (not) relevant. I
was merely pointing out - mostly for those who happen upon this thread
later, since they'll hopefully read and comprehend - that your assessment
is flatly wrong.
Good luck.

Well, the good news is that I can include the application variables in the
AJAX post and pass them into the contact.cfc (which is also out of the
webroot and in the library) via the AJAX call to contact.cfc.
The bad news is, I have to type all those application variables into every
AJAX call.
sigh No, Matt... I didn't say your example is (not) relevant.
I stated, I don't see how your example is relevant.
See the difference? I put the fault on my part for not understanding your
example.
Your example may be perfectly relevant, but I couldn't see how.

Rick,
I don't know if this will help, but I've read about people creating
proxy CFCs in or below the webroot specifically for AJAX requests.
Those proxy CFCs either extend the protected CFCs (the ones outside
the webroot) or have functions that call the protected CFCs through
createObject()
Thanks for that info, Carl...
I think I read somewhere about that while researching. I'll take another
look and see if I can make that work. It'll beat typing in all the
application variables for every call to the cfc's!
