• ColdFusion 10 - Selectively Exposing ColdFusion Component Behaviors With Closures

  Posted on Apr 11, 2012 at 2:15 PM

  Very cool example -- the syntax is definitely going to take some getting used to in CFML. In this example, could you not achieve the same result by having Account contain all three public methods, and then a CreditOnlyAccount extend Account and override debit() with a private version (or so... read more »

• ColdFusion 10 Beta - Closures And Components And The THIS Scope

  Posted on Feb 23, 2012 at 11:01 AM

  I'm probably behind the curve on this, but could this feature be used to call methods on a CFC dynamically? Instead of having a syntax like <cfset results = arrayNew(1) /> <cfset myObj = createObject("component", "cfcs.foo" /> <cfloop list... read more »

• Thinking About Encapsulation And Direct Object References

  Posted on Jun 13, 2011 at 9:48 AM

  Back in your home turf of CF, I always design my services with several "default" methods per domain object (okay, call it a "database table"): get{object}() takes the primary key of the table as an argument and returns a single record save{object} takes a single-re... read more »

• Seven Languages In Seven Weeks: Io - Day 1

  @Ben, Not being able to call methods directly (without using <cfinvoke>) on CFCs has been one really frustrating "feature" of CF for me -- good to read about other languages in which it's easy. As for the AI class...I almost took it a couple of years after you, but was... read more »

• Copy / Import XML Nodes Into A ColdFusion XML Document

  Posted on Mar 18, 2009 at 4:56 PM

  Ben, I may be missing one or two details, but would this version work? <cffunction name="XmlImport" access="public" returntype="struct" output="false" hint="I import the given XML data into the given XML document so that it can inserted into the node tree."> <cf... read more »

• OOP Getters() And Setters() - A New Programmer's Frustration

  Posted on Oct 14, 2008 at 11:07 AM

  <blockquote>In ColdFusion, there's really no difference between Ints, Doubles, Floats, and Strings (etc.), so simple-data-type encapsulation means nothing to me. Don't talk to me about what happens when a hundred references to an INT suddenly need to be a 100 references to a BIGINT. In a lo... read more »
