The subject has been beaten to death in previous threads on this
list... it's always been this way -- afaik there aren't any _plans_ to
change it...
you might try this:
<cfswitch expression="#exp#">
<cfcase value="staticcase">...</cfcase>
<cfdefaultcase>
<cfif expression is othervariable>
...
<cfelse>
...
</cfif>
</cfdefaultcase>
</cfswitch>
Also note the delimiters attribute in the cf-case tag allows you to
specify multiple values for a single case statement -- which may or
may not help, dependent upon your purpose.
Also the cfscript implementation of switch-case follows the ecmascript
rules (which are also the same as switch-case constructs in C/C++,
Java, etc.)
switch (expression) {
case "val1": { ; } // this line will make val1 have the same result
as val1
case "val2": { ... break; }
default: {
...
}
}
