I was doing that but I have multiple methods in my decorator. e.g:
getCurrentBlock() getCurrentBuilding() getBuildings() etc. I didnt want to have to do getLookupData() in every method. Therefore I now call the method to generate the lookup data when the object is retrieved from the service (with a check to see if it's already in the cached object). This way the decorator can just assume that the lookup data is all in place and use it. --- James Allen E: ja...@jamesallen.name Blog: http://jamesallen.name Twitter: @CFJamesAllen (Coldfusion / Web development) Twitter: @jamesallenuk (General) Lead developer of http://errrrrrr.com From: transfer-dev@googlegroups.com [mailto:transfer-...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Mark Mandel Sent: 14 April 2010 12:35 To: transfer-dev@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [transfer-dev] Re: Method to execute in decorator post-population On Wed, Apr 14, 2010 at 9:13 PM, James Allen <slingsho...@googlemail.com> wrote: Hi Mark, 14 hours day! Is that even possible!? You must be like a zombie. I know what you mean with the first request but I was finding that I kept having to put in the same method call in multiple methods to ensure the data had been processed. Confused by this statement - why don't you have: function getLookupData() { if(NOT lookupDataReady) { buildLookupData(); } return lookupData; } and if you ever only go to get - getLookupData(), noone will ever be the wiser. (Add appropriate locking as necessary). Mark I've now switched to simply calling the lookup creation method when I get the landlord object in the getCurrentLandlord() service call. Would be nice to have a method called automatically so I didn't have to worry about it but this fit's pretty well as I always have my object creation methods in a single place anyway. Thanks for the advice, James.
