I liked the message (made me smile even!), but, even if you had some
method, say calculateTax, you would rather pass an entire form than just
pass form.priceWithNoTaxYet?

I've been playing with CFCs for a few months now, having just
converted an ASP ("OO") framework I developed (loosely based on a PHP
framework I studied) into CFML. In my weaker hours I may have possibly
developed constructs similar to the one above, but would not admit to
it on the grounds that someone may decide it's a bad practice (TM).
You will never catch me programming or condoning the practice of
passing in individual FORM elements to a function when I can pass in
the entire FORM structure.

Shrug ... you can just as easily accept a struct as an argument,
calling it something like arguments.submittedValues, and pass the
form scope to the function that way.
someService.processMyForm(form)
<cffunction name="processMyForm">
<cfargument name="submittedValues">

Someone recently asked if passing the form scope was a best practice.
I found an interesting method called ArgumentCollection, but I don't
know very much about it.
Q: If you have a ton of arguments, is using ArgumentCollection the best
practice?
