Yes it is.
CFScript uses standard C/C++/Java/JavaScript syntax for switch/case, so the
cfscript equivalent looks like this:
switch (exp) {
case "a": { ; }
case "b": { .. do something ... }
case "c": { .. do something ... break; }
default: { ... do something ... }
}
The case expressions cascade, so from the point that your case evaluates, to
the point that you insert a break; in your case statements is what portion
of the code will execute, thus, if the value of exp is a or b, in the
example above, all of the actions ( or lack thereof in the case of a ) will
occur for cases a,b and c. If the value of exp is c then only the action for
c will occur. The default actions will not be processed unless something
other than a b or c is found in the value of exp because of the break; at
the end of the actions for c.
