I've run into this issue more than once, and am always not sure about the best way to go about this...
I have an app that will require a way to get a list of, for example all products, and the same app needs to be able to get just one of the products using the product id. The query to the database is very similar in both cases, the only difference being the Where clause in the latter query. The two options I see are to build two methods, one called getProducts() and another called getProduct(), or build one method called getProduct() and give it an optional argument for the product id. Building one method is quicker, and makes for a less complicated object model, but for some reason I feel like it starts a slippery slope to mixing the data layer and the logic layer. Maybe the feeling is unfounded though, but maybe not. I'm not sure... I'd be really interested in hearing opinions on which method you guys prefer. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
