I see where the number two is coming from now, it's array index of the argument.
2 String PROPERTYNAME messageVersion Hmmm, that makes me think that the arguments.value is passed from the sub class. If I do a dump of arguments in the Boolean object I get DATATYPE boolean.YN PROPERTYNAME isTestTransmission VALUE [undefined struct element] The parent class of Boolean is Type, which has no init() and so super.init() from Boolean is the one that calls the init() in the Property object.... I am gob smacked, there is probably something stupid I have done, but I can't see it! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pat Branley Sent: Monday, 11 July 2005 2:35 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Puzzled by change of argument value check that your property class doesnt have its cfargument mixed up. ie. instead of type="string" default="" it might be default="string" type="" ? check that you are acutally passing arguments to super.init() (i dont think it gets the arguments by default, hence you getting the 'default' of the cfargument tag ? try cfoutput too instead of cfdump. you might be seeing the left hand side of the dump not the right. if you get my drift....its hard to explain but in some intances when you dump get the data type (ie. you are dumping a java.lang.string instead of the value) hope this helps Pat Taco Fleur wrote: > I have some CFCs that extend like the following > > > > YN extends Boolean > > Boolean extends Type > > Type extends Property > > > > Object > > -----Property ( has init() ) > > ---------- Type ( does not have init() ) > > --------------- Boolean ( has init() ) > > -------------------- YN ( has init() ) > > > > When I instantiate the object YN and pass the argument "arguments.value" > the following "Y" > > Arguments.value is not passed to super! > > > > If I do a dump of arguments.value before we call super.init() in *YN* > the argument is there, which is fine because its passed to that object. > > > > If I do a dump of arguments.value before we call super.init() in > *Boolean* the argument is undefined, which is fine. > > > > *Type* does not have an init() (but if I add one and do a dump the > argument is still undefined), so the init() method of *Property* is > really called by *Boolean*. > > > > This is where it gets weird, if I do a dump of arguments.value before we > call super.init() in *Property* it tells me that the value of > arguments.value is "String", exactly that "String"!..
