In just trying out the createobject(...).init(...) method of using a
constuctor, I accidentally missed the brackets off a method call. I
expected this to throw an error, but no...
contructortest.cfc:
-------------------
<cfcomponent>
<cfset instance = structnew()>
<cffunction name="init">
<cfargument name="arg1">
<cfargument name="arg2">
<cfset instance.arg1 = arguments.arg1>
<cfset instance.arg2 = arguments.arg2>
<cfreturn this>
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="getinstancevars">
<cfreturn instance>
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="somestaticmethod">
<cfargument name="arg1">
<cfargument name="arg2">
<cfreturn arg1 + arg2>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
constructortest.cfm:
--------------------
<cfset myobj = createobject("component", "contructortest").init("1",
"2")>
<cfdump var="#myobj#">
<cfdump var="#myobj.getinstancevars()#">
<cfset funcref = myobj.somestaticmethod>
<cfdump var="#funcref#">
<cfdump var="#funcref(123, 312)#">
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Check out the second section in the cfm file -- you can grab a reference
directly to a method within a CFC and then use that method outside the
CFC. I tried it using the getinstancevars() method but got a "Variable
INSTANCE is undefined" error, so obviously this is being used outside
the scope of the CFC.
Is this correct (and expected) behaviour?
