Session not persisting

Posted 24 August 2011 - 01:02 PM

I have two probelms, one minor one not so minor. The minor on is that I cannot check for a previous session. CF is giving me an error on the code

<cfif struckeyexists(SESSION, “CFC” ) > 
<cfset session.CFC = structNew()>
</cfif>


The more important problem though is that I have a session variable that will not persist until the last page. I need it to make a sql update on the last page. The session var is session.CFC and I need session.CFC.eci on the last page. But on the last page session is undefined.

Here is the code for the three pages in the order that they go and the cfc file.

maguscrowley, for your first issue, do us a favor and tell us what the error message that you're getting says.

For your second issue:
  • you list a code page called session.cfc...where does that get called?
  • "CFC" may very well be a reserved CF word. Try calling your session.CFC struct something else like session.thisUser and see if that works
  • Since all you're doing is copying the value of a form variable into the session variable you're having trouble location...have you considered simply passing the form variable from the first form through to the second as another form variable (since you're using form variables in the same query you're trying to use the session var in)?

Other than that, it's tough posting 500+ lines of relatively uncommented code and ask someone to give much more than vague assistance/insight. For instance, since you're using CFCs you're also likely using Application.cfc wherein all kinds of things could be being done to the session scope that could be affecting your code.

Don't get me wrong: we're happy to help but few people have the time to parse through 500 lines of code across 4 pages to solve your problem for you. If you have an error, it helps to include the explicit text from the error message along with typical error message content like what broke and where (page name/line number).

Good luck!

Sorry for giving you trouble.

This is the error for the first problem:
Invalid construct: Either argument or name is missing.
When using named parameters to a function, each parameter must have a name.
The CFML compiler was processing:

An expression beginning with struckeyexists, on line 37, column 7.This message is usually caused by a problem in the expressions structure.
A cfif tag beginning on line 37, column 2.


The second error didn't give me a line number but simply a "Variable SESSION is undefined"

The reason for CFC is that it stands for Combined Federal Campaign. This is an internal app for federal personel to keep track of yearly donations automatically taken from their paychecks and to change those values in the database. It was my first assignment to try to recreate this. I have a working version but I'm trying to make better and better versions using more and more coldfusion. If I get something good enough this means this will go into production.

But anyway I tried changing CFC and it didn't do anything. The working version transferred the ECI number through invisible text fields submited with the other fields but my mentor wants to see me do it with sessions now.

Also, a good amount of this code and html comes from their flexweb framework. I barely understand the stuff they have in it. I just know enough to use the layouts. None of it came with comments or instructions.

I solved my problems. It was the fact that session was not defined because I needed to name session.cfc application.cfc in order for the line

<cfset this.sessionManagement="Yes">


to have effect. Thank you for your help though.
