Eris Solidity Tutorial: How to set the bank?

Question

In the Eris Solidity tutorial, a system of a Bank and a FundManager contract are developed. In the fund manager constructor

contract Bank {
    [Bank contract details]

    function setOwner(address newOwner) returns (bool res) {
        if (owner != 0x0 && msg.sender != owner){
            return false;
        }
        owner = newOwner;
        return true;
    }
}

contract FundManager {

    address bank;

    // Constructor
    function FundManager(){
        owner = msg.sender;
        bank = new Bank();
        Bank(bank).setOwner(address(this));
    }
}

one sets a reference to a Bank. When I deploy the contract and mine it in a private net and then check for the bank reference of the FundManager, no reference is found (so I can't deposit, because depositing requires a bank to be set).

Here's how I deploy:

var fm_arg = "fm";
var fm = contract_fm.new(fm_arg,
                    {
                         from: eth.accounts[0],
                         data: compiled_fm.FundManager.code,
                         gas: 1000000
                    }, callback);

I would think, I should now be able to call the bank variable:

> fm.bank
undefined

Why is the bank not set when I construct the FundManager?

Answer 1

You declare bank in FundManager as an Ethereum address:

address bank;

not an instance of the contract Bank:

Bank bank;
