The init() method might initialize all the properties and do any other
cleanup necessary to give us a new, empty component; so in this
example perhaps (some tag attributes ommitted because I'm lazy):
<cffunction name="init">
<!--- clear the name --->
<cfset VARIABLES.Name = "">
<cfreturn THIS>
</cffunction>
After this we'd need to call setName().
The other option is to require the name to be part of the constructor:
<cffunction name="init">
<cfargument name="name">
<!--- set the name, by calling the setname method so we can check
for validity etc --->
<cfset setName(ARGUMENTS.name)>
<cfreturn THIS>
</cffunction>
in both cases, setName() and getName() might be:
<cffunction name="setName">
<cfargument name="name" type="string">
<!--- any other input checking you need here --->
<cfset VARIABLES.name = ARGUMENTS.name>
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="getName">
<!--- this could be much more
complicated than this if necessary,
doing conversions,
security checks etc etc --->
<cfreturn VARIABLES.name>
</cffunction>
Finally, insertJob():
<cffunction name="insertJob">
<!--- get the name property via the method,
so our security checking or whatever else
we did happens here too --->
<cfset var thisThingsName = getName()>
<cfquery ....>
INSERT INTO blah blah
blah blah <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar"
value="#thisThingsName #">
</cfquery>
</cffunction>
Keep reading the references, there are people with far more OO
experience than I who will have better examples and better rules to
follow.
