RE: [CFCDev] CFINVOKE vs. CFOBJECT -- which way and why?

[Hardy Jonck]

I prefer the less verbose option as long as it does not compromise on the clarity. Verbosity causes clutter, and clutter makes it more difficult to find the serious type bugs ( logical and higher order bugs as opposed to simple first or second order issues) Hence: <cfscript>   customerController =3D createObject("component","CustomerController");    // And some docstring if required   customerStruct =3D customerController.getCustomer(customerId = checkCustomer.customerID); // doc string ...... </cfscript> Rather than <cfinvoke method="getCustomer"     component="customerController"     returnVariable="customerStruct">     <cfinvokeargument name="customerId"         value="#checkCustomer.customerID#"/> </cfinvoke> The above verbosity makes it allot more tedious to read than the equivalent cfscript code. So where I can and where not HTML needs to be generated we stick to script where possible. Where possilbe stick to the Model View Controller paradigm (remember that the MVC paradigm is NOT an application architecture per se - it is just a minimum good practive pattern for business logic and interface seperation). But - ultimately each groups sorts out its standards - and the rest shoud stick to what is defined already - except if it is a bad habit...
