• Learning ColdFusion 8: Implicit Struct And Array Creation

  Posted on Feb 27, 2009 at 11:22 AM

  With 8.01 I'm trying to create a nested structure based on postprocessing a query and dynamically creating the keys and the following works fine with a single level structure with objQry being a valid query. However when I try a nested structure by uncommenting the commented lines I get a 'Invali... read more »

• Ask Ben: Extending OnSessionStart() In A Sub Directory Application.cfc

  Posted on Feb 16, 2009 at 6:14 PM

  @Ben Nadel, Probably so. Interesting that my Application.cfcs use the component mapping I just mentioned in the this.mappings to do a database lookup via a cfc in the onSession methods for the main and sublevel Application.cfc, but the extends is earlier at least in the sublevel Application.... read more »

  @Ben Nadel, Unfortunately you are correct. I just tested it and although it works with the Administrator Server Settings > Mappings page, it fails with the mappings structure in Application.cfc. However all my other mappings do work fine using that structure as follows in the Application.... read more »

  @dickbob, Sure. Also I've read you can now define your mappings in your code in Application.cfc (This.mappings). We're getting ready to move into an environment where I have no direct control over my Administrator settings and will probably use that.... read more »

  dickbob, I chose to create a path in my CF Administrator to my root area and use it for the extends, so it looks like: extends="MyAppRoot.Application" It seems cleaner and clearer. I didn't like the thought of an extra file whose purpose was for this and the other suggested tip us... read more »

  Ben, I think what shuns is getting at is what I experienced as well. Here's my solution. I started with your approach and it worked in part. However, when I entered the app from the homepage (fine), then to one of the sublevel pages (fine) and then hit a second sublevel page in the sa... read more »

  Posted on Apr 6, 2007 at 5:56 PM

  I have your wrapper (04/04/2007 version) working for reading my multisheet workbook and I was able to manipulate the query data. Now I want to overwrite the spreadsheet data back into the old spreadsheet (about the 4th sheet). I tried the WriteExcelSheet method, but realize that this won't work b... read more »

  I have used a number of the POI methods successfully, but I have been searching for a couple more or their equivelant without success. 1) Essentially I'm trying to do a copy and paste on a range of cells. The Excel Macro equivelant is: Range("D1:Q28").Select Selection.Cop... read more »
