Re: [CFCDev] Code Reuse

[Marcantonio Silva]

Hi Paul,   It is possible and recommended. In fact, you shoudn�t have FORM or any other scope favriables inside your cfc, only arguments, thats the best practice.   Althou you may want to pass and get every argument independenttly, which seems more flexible and more OO.   As you mnay know, form, as all other scopes, is a struct. All you would have to do is duplicate your form struct and then pass it to the cfc call, something like:   <cfset customer = Duplicate(FORM) >   (you may use StructCopy, but this only duplicates the first struct 'level' and creates pointers to nested structures, don�t use customer = form, because this will only reference the form structure and any change made to the customer struct will change the value of the form).   Regards,   Marcantonio da Silva Diretor de Desenvolvimento de Produtos [EMAIL PROTECTED] Navita - http://www.navita.com.br 55 (11) 3365-2173  - (11) 9656-4634 ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Giesenhagen To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2003 5:43 PM Subject: [CFCDev] Code Reuse Ok, I am really trying to utilize CFC's and utilize their pronounced ability to handle alot of good code reuse.   I have a CFC that handles customer information.  And I have two ways that customer information can be populated and manipulated:   1) Through a form (form.firstName, form.lastName) OR 2) Though a struct being passed to the CFC customer.firstName, customer.lastName   It is possible (and good practice) to create 1 simple function that can handle both inputs?  How do you decern between the two scopes?   Any suggestions and help would be appreciated.   Also, are their any good resources out their for code reuse as it pertains to CFC's or even CFMX in general.   Paul Giesenhagen QuillDesign
