ColdFusion framework 1- form action to to insert database

[Ram]

I am learning the framework1 and tried to do simple coldfusion program to insert data in to database after submitting a form.

my simple form  person.cfm is in views/main

    <form name = "savePerson" action="#buildurl('person')#" method="post">

In the form action I put controller "person.cfc" 

I have person.cfc in controllers folder with code in the component

    <cffunction name="person">

    

    <cfif isDefined("rc.savePerson")>

    

    <cfset variables.services.person.savePerson()>

    

    </cfif>

    

    </cffunction

and sql insert statement in person.cfc with function name = savePerson in the services folder.

Application.cfc has code

     function setupApplication() {

    

    var bf = new framework.ioc( "services" );

    

    setBeanFactory( bf );

    

     }

When I submit the form I get the error below

    Original exception in onRequest

    

    The action person.person failed.

    

    Element SERVICES.PERSON is undefined in a Java object of type class [Ljava.lang.String; referenced as ''

    

    (Expression)

but there is a person.cfc in  controllers, services. I don't know if I need a beans folder.

My question is what should I write for form action and how framework1 call the file in services folder to run insert statement via controller.

Thanks in advance!!

Hello. Have you had a chance to check out the documentation and the sample applications? I think those will go a long way toward helping you understand how the framework is designed.

Do you have a persons.cfc under services folder?

[Ram]

Yes. I have the person.cfc in the services folder. My question is how  can I call the service and the method in person.cfc?

[Sean Corfield]

You're probably missing this in your controller:

<cffunction name="setPersonService">

<cfargument name="personService">

<cfset variables.services.person = arguments.personService>

</cffunction>

That tells FW/1 & DI/1 that your controller wants personService (i.e., services/person.cfc) injected into it.

[Ram]

Thank you very much. 

I think I need to call the method (savePerson()) in person.cfc after this code, which insert the data into table in the database.

[Sean Corfield]

The setPersonService function I provided will tell FW/1 & DI/1 to inject the person service. That will solve the error you ran into.

You are already calling variables.services.person.savePerson() in your controller's person method - although you will need to add argumentCollection = rc if you want items passed to the service.

I would STRONGLY recommend you work carefully, step-by-step through the Getting Started guide since this will explain much of what you're clearly struggling with:

https://github.com/framework-one/fw1/wiki

It also explains the conventions that are normally used with FW/1: you'd normally have a model folder containing your services folder (and a beans folder).

You'll find life MUCH easier if you follow the documentation and get those examples working first.

Sure. Thanks a lot. I was reading the documentation and did hello series examples for last 3 days.  So I used the method variables.services.person.savePerson(). 

It did not worked  for me.

I read  some place accessing like: application.services.Person.savePerson(form). I am working with version.2.5 on windows 7.

 I will work on this tomorrow. I really appreciate your help.

The error you showed indicated services was not set in variables scope. Adding the setter I showed should have solved that but you'd be better off following the conventions of FW/1 and having:

/model
/services
person.cfc

in your file system and using property-based injection (and cfscript) in your controllers:

component accessors=true {
property personService;

function person( rc ) {
if ( structKeyExists( rc, "savePerson" ) {
variables.personService.savePerson( argumentCollection = rc );

I have tested today with the code you provided. It works like a charm. !!!  

Sure. I will follow the conventions. A big relief for weekend!.

Thanks, Ram

Yay!

The nice thing about following the conventions is that it will be easier for you to move to FW/1 3.0 (currently in beta) where you can just let FW/1 auto-create the DI/1 bean factory (so you could delete your current setupApplication() method).
