Currently.. as a language that is one of ColdFusions weaknesses.
There are pretty much two ways to get functions out of ColdFusion..
The first is to encapsulate all the code in a Template and then
just CFINCLUDE the template.. the disadvantage is the page
does not have its own scope and can easily modify variables
that do not belong to it and kind of makes development more
tedious if you are not extremely careful.
The second method is Custom Tags.. Which in effect serve
as functions and get their own 'call space' all the variables
in a custom tag have their own scope etc, however doing
a call with a Custom Tag is a bigger penality hit than
a regular function in a regular procedural language
sucha s C/C++.. In fact its a big concern if performance
is an issue.
If you are really interested I recommend checking out the
Fusebox methodology as code reuse can be pretty high in a
big app written in Fusebox..

Hope this helps..

Hello everyone,
This may seem like a rookie question, but I cannot figure out a way to ma=
ke
my own function in Cold Fusion. Am I missing something? I have been
working with it for a month and haven=92t seen anything about it. Can I =
make
calls to a Java class or something like that?
Thanks in advance,
Brandon Behrens
