which is the reason for the CFC viewer I expect - and the importance of documentation. (has everyon diligently filled out the displayname="" and hint="" within their cffunctions? no? tsk, tsk...) in .NET languages (speaking of VB.NET, esp) almost everything you want is already an object. that's what the "dot net framework" really is - thousands of pre built objects to do (almost) everything in Windows. MFC on steroids (or rebadged!) and (I'm reliably told) this is also true in Java (esp swing components, etc) using the documentation, you find out which namespace you're needing, then find the object dealing with what you want to do then find out what it takes to work and what it returns. without the documentation you're totally lost. The .NET language then acts as the glue to put it all together. in essence, CF is doing the same - gluing the underlying java objects together. sorry to state the obvious, but the API documentation is everything. without it you have (almost) no hope. just 2c worth barry.b -----Original Message----- From: Aaron DC [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 15 July 2004 1:51 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] Re: super.method() > I feel this list lately is very agressive, lots of attacking, denying, stabbing etc rofl That's a bit rich coming from someone who responds to opinion posts with "Not sure what your on about? Not sure if you know yourself?". Sheesh. Mind you, the whole CFC API thinger has given me good ideas :) So I think the discussion was well worthwhile.

I can think of a few CFCs already that could use the argumentCollection to do data validation for each CFC... Anyway, why make a longdrawn discussion out of this? I only asked if anyone knew why it didn't work, and now everyone is giving their opinion on why and why not and how come etc. which always ends in a "everyone should work the way they feel comfortable". I feel this list lately is very agressive, lots of attacking, denying, stabbing etc... Can we move back to the wonderful discussions we had on this list half a year ago? Or is it just me? Or is the winter that does this to us? Or am I just one paranoid CF'er ;-) --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/ --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/
