No, he just likes being anal about terms. I like being anal about evaluate. Whatever.
The point is this - I refuse to say "CFCs have this feature where it will run code every time you create an instance of it and it's kind of like Java constructors but not really." I will simply say CFCs have constructors. I think most people can grok that since it's NOT Java it's not 100% the same. If the Java police want to come arrest me, I guess that's fine, but I don't think I'm doing a disservice to the list readers. ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Macromedia Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda > -----Original Message----- > From: Jeffry Houser [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 8:08 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: Component Calls: What would you do? > > > When you first invoke a CFC any code that does not reside > within a method > (I.E. the cffunction tag) is executed immediately.
