Not the most elegant, but you can rock a try/catch:
<cftry>
<cfset lstFields = myobjext.getExtendedFields() />
<cfcatch>
<cfset lstFields = "" />
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
Other than that, you can probably try some sort of reflection (using all
the Java reflection stuff) but that is probably way overkill/??

Subject: test if method exists
I am working with a JAVA web service, and I get back an array of objects
with methods to access the data.
One of these methods is getExtendedFields() which will only exist if
there are any extended fields. So I need to be able to test if this
method actually exists before I bother trying to access its methods.
I thought I could do a structkeyexists, but that doesn't work <cfif
StructkeyExists(myobjext,'getExtendedFields')>
anything else I can do ?
