An alternative to wrapping in a cftry block is cfparam, something like: cfparam name=rootObject.Get_ObjectName default=undefined!/ cfif isSimpleValue(rootObject.Get_ObjectName) !--- it's undefined! --- cfelse cfset theValue=rootObject.Get_ObjectName().Get_Value()/ /cfif I use a similar mechanism to cope with accessing elements in sparse arrays (though I default to #server.undefined#, which is a Java object I create for just this sort of purpose); it should work for your problem too. -- Regards, Pete Jordan Horus Web Engineering Ltd http://www.webhorus.net/ phone: +44 1482 446471 mobile: +44 7973 725120 ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:339496 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Using isDefined/StructKeyExists against a ,Net com object

Re: Using isDefined/StructKeyExists against a ,Net com object
I've found that the conversion process brings everything back as rootObject.Get_ObjectName().Get_Value() which blows up if the object is empty throwing an undefined error - However if I try and use isDefined(rootObject.Get_ObjectName) or StructKeyExists(rootObject,Get_ObjectName) - it just doesn't work - If I add in the () at the end - it blows up Coldfusion Use cftry/cfcatch around your calls to rootObject.Get_ObjectName().Get_Value() instead of trying to treat the values within your object as if they were structures, etc. Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ http://training.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software is a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) on GSA Schedule, and provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers, online, or onsite. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:339435 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
