But (normally), extends should only be used to create a "Is A"
releationship. Settings doesn't match this rule. Just in case it
wasn't too obvious for others, here is a super simple example of what
I'm talking about. Please note I did not include attributes like
output=false, hint, var statements, etc, just to make things tighter:
settings.cfc:
<cfcomponent>
<cffunction name="getSettings" returnType="struct">
<!--- set a bunch of vars, or load them from the db, or an xml
file, or whatever --->
<!--- simple hard coded example here --->
<cfset var settings = structNew()>
<cfset settings.dsn = "moo">
<cfreturn settings>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
foo.cfc:
<cfcomponent>
<cfinvoke component="settings'" method="getSettings"
returnVariable="variables.settings">
<cffunction name="getStuff">
<cfquery name="stuff" datasource="#variables.settings.dsn#">
select whatever
</cfquery>
<cfreturn stuff>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
What's nice then is that your Application.cfm can use the same
cfinvoke statement to get global settings, although it would use
returnVariable="application.settings". So now both your CFCs and your
outside code all use the same method to get their settings.
