If you want to chain method calls on the same object, all of the methods in
question must return "this":
person.setFirstName("Sean").setLastName("Corfield")
In this example, you have a person component with methods setFirstName and
setLastName. Each of those methods is returning "this". The long way to
accomplish the above is:
person.setFirstName("Sean")
person.setLastName("Corfield")
In the other example posted, multiple CFCs are involved:
Name = Session.SessionCFC.getUserCFC().getName()
In this example, the getUserCFC() method belongs to the SessionCFC
component. It is returning a UserCFC component, not "this". The getName()
method belongs to the UserCFC component, not the SessionCFC component.
The longer way to accomplish the above would be:
User = Session.SessionCFC.getUserCFC()
Name = User.getName()
