Continuing this thread here...
I like consistency too, and that's why I like to think of these as "UI
CFCs", and not just CFCs. I have business logic CFCs too, and they will
never return output directly. (I name them differently and put them in
a different location.) Custom tags are just too lame to force all
shared UI-related stuff to be implemented with them....
I started avoiding <cfinvoke> in favor or this style of calling:
<cfoutput>#variables.thingFormatter.outputTable(option1=x,
option2=y)#</cfoutput>
because you can't tell if the method will output directly or return a
string, but either way, it works. (I also like that you don't have to
use quoted/pounds around the arguments... option1=x above is nicer
looking to me than option1="#x#".)
Q: Is there no way to have a string returned by a cfinvoked method
automatically output? Do you really have to use returnVariable? Seems
like that would be a nice shortcut to have...
Thanks
Mark

As I often say, I like doing what fits the specific project best.
Consitency is more important to me. If I'm going to avoid output from
cfc's in a project, I'll avoid it consistently...
