'Next, we check to see if the directory list operation returned exactly two objects.
This is done using a cfif statement to evaluate the value stored in the RecordCount
query column. If the vlaue of RecordCount is two, we know that the directory is
empty,....'
it should say:
"Next, we check to see if the directory list operation returned zero
results. This is done using a cfif statement to evaluate
the value stored in the RecordCount query column. If the vlaue of
RecordCount is zero, we know that the directory is empty..."

Top of page, 3rd line of code. |
In the book, on page 527, line 3, it reads:
xaxistype="scale" yaxistype="scale" sortxaxis="No"
both instances of the word "scale" should be "category". As it is written, ColdFusion throws an error:
For input string: "Greg"
The downloadable source codes for this book do however use the correct syntax.

The entry for alnum should read:
[:alnum:]
Matches any letter or number regardless of the case used. Using alnum is
the same as specifying [A-Za-z0-9]. Using w produces a similar result,
but also includes underscores.

[^[digit:]] is missing a colon (under D).
It should look like this:
[^[:digit:]]

3rd paragraph |
You say that you can include code that makes up a method body within a cffunction and
then give an example where the included method body uses cfargument and cfreturn.
This does not work in ColdFusion as any code included with cfinclude must be valid
CFML in its own right. The example that you give causes a ColdFusion error stating
that cfargument and cfreturn must be used within a cffunction.
The example should look like this:
<cfcomponent displayname="Employee" hint="I'm for working with
employees">
<cfproperty name="dsn" type="string">
<cfset variables.dsn="programmingCF">
<cffunction name="getEmployee" returnType="any" output="no" access="public">
<cfargument name="id" type="numeric" required="true">
<cfinclude template="_methodGetEmployee">
<cfreturn selectEmployee>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
This gets saved as _methodGetEmployee.cfm (the example also inadvertantly leaves off
the file extension):
<cfquery name="selectEmployee" datasource="#variables.dsn#">
SELECT *
FROM employeeDirectory
WHERE ID=#arguments.id#
</cfquery>
AUTHOR: Note that I do not advocate coding your CFCs like this, but it is a valid
option if long CFCs are a problem for you.
