Solved! (I think I found a ColdFusion MX bug!) - RE: ColdFusion MX 6 1 windows problem This is so simple why doesn't it work?

I figured out the problem I was having... it turns out it had to do with one of the field's in my recordset that was generated with <CFQUERY>. One of the fields was called "URL" because it holds the URL of a web page that needs to get used on the front end. The following code fails in CFMX. Looking at it, I can't think of a reason why this code would fail. Clearly, this code is not useful but it shouldn't bomb. ----------- <cfquery name="bling" datasource="hooha">   select 'http://neverlandranch.foo' as URL </cfquery> <cfoutput query="bling">   #urldecode("michael jackson")# </cfoutput> ----------- -Jon work? When I run this page.... ----------------------- <cfquery datasource="bling" name="getRec">   select ...... (bla bla foo) </cfquery>   <cfoutput query="getRec">   #urlDecode('whytheheckdoesthisthowanerror')#   </cfoutput> ----------------------- I get ... ----------------------- Error casting an object of type to an incompatible type. This usually indicates a programming error in Java, although it could also mean you have tried to use a foreign object in a different way than it was designed. The error occurred in X:\xxxxx\editRecord1.cfm: line 27 Called from X:\xxxxx\x.cfm: line 33 Called from X:\xxxxx\xx.cfm: line 93 Called from X:\XXXXXX.cfm: line 94 ----------------------- Please help! (I watered down the query and the file names just to show you the root of the problem).... Thanks, Jon

URL is a reserved scope name. If you fully qualify the output, it should work, ie use queryname.url, not just url.
