The problem I have with these questions is that it's a mix match of two different things. OO is a programming paradigm. Java, ColdFusion are programming languages. Two different things here, which is important. You can program java in OO or (god help you) procedurally, but that doesn't mean Java is OO or not. This would be sort like saying is Linux or Windows OO.
The question really should be phrase to say can you program or code ColdFusion to utilize the OO paradigm. Or even more precisely, does Coldfusion allow for the four basic components of the OO paradigm: Inheritance, Encapsulation, Abstraction and Polymorphism.

Hence Paul's comment that all this will do is cause "tail-chasing & purse-swinging". Because everyone has a different view of "OO", I think you're going to get a landslide of "No, CF is not OO", "Yes, Adobe should make it more OO", random - but generally low - percentage responses and who only knows what sort of random feature requests. That's what I meant by "loaded". Not biased, just loaded. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.
