On my second day of using cfc's I've come to a point where I really want to overload a particular method. Is there even a way to do overloading?
The docs for cfargument say that if the type parameter is not one of the predefined types, CF will process it as a component. Unfortunately the docs don't elaborate (Where are the MX books?). If I use a cfc as the type parameter, what happens? I'm thinking CF will instantiate the cfc, run the constructor code, so there may be a way to determine the datatype of the argument passed. I want to do something like this. <cfset rs = insertEmail(emailAddressString)> or <cfset rs = insertEmail(emailAddressArray)> and in my insertEmail method <cffunction name="insertEmail" returntype="boolean"> <cfargument name="emailAddress" required="Yes" type="determineType"> What I am assuming will happen if I am reading the docs right is that the determineType cfc will get loaded, but is it possible to pass the actual argument back and forth between the cfcs, so I can determine the type? Can someone elaborate on exactly what happens when we use a component as the datatype? -- Jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
