"Remember : Just because you drive a crappy old banger, doesn't mean it aint a car" - agree totally but if you drive a motorbike although it still gets you to where you want to go it aint a car.
I know I keep harping on about VB but it's the ony arena where I've implemented "OO" stuff. I seem to remember if I dust the cobwebs out of my memory that in creating an instance of an object I was requied to implement all of the properties and methods exposed by that interface - which was the main beef of C/Java programmers as this wasn't inheritance as they saw it. Now I could still get to the same end as they could but I got there on a bike whilst they were driving a car. Appoplogies for probably the worst analogy ever! -----Original Message----- From: Neil Clark - =TMM= [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 30 April 2002 13:41 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: I like CFMX It all depends on what you/coders determine as true inheritance..... Sure CFC's provide a concept for inheritance in ColdFusion, but just because it doesn't fit into a dictionaty concept, does mean it is isnt inheritance : as Ray stated : to say that CFC's do not have inheritance is just plain silly. CFC's in my eyes and testing peform exactly on the basis of OOP : e.g. Object birthing (a .cfm page), a Class (calling say, a create new object method), and a SuperClass (the class which can provide default variables which can be overidden or appended to as instance variables). The example I posted yesterday shows just that. Just because it doesn't fit into the "Java" model of OOP, doesn't mean to say that it aint OOP. Sure it can be seen as more Object Based Development, but inheritance and encapsulation are still present. Remember : Just because you drive a crappy old banger, doesn't mean it aint a car..... its all in the perception.
