You can add methods at run-time to CFC instances, but I would tread very carefully into that terrain.
I don't know of a way to get to the attributes of CFFUNCTION programmatically outside of that tag -- I would not be surprised if it's theoretically possibly by accessing the underlying java object of a CF function, but that would be bad in at least two ways: First, the underlying java API could change, as it's most certainly not supported to manipulate it directly. Second, you might not understand assumptions being made in the underlying code and cause subtle bugs in your code causing unexpected behaviors. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Behalf Of Hardy Jonck > Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2003 3:14 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [CFCDev] Cf Script Methods and CFML Method attributes > > > Is it possible to set method attributes manually. > > For instance: <cffunction name='xy' output='Yes' > could one do something > like this: > function xy() > { > // Some Op > } > > function setCfAttributes() > { > x.output = 'Yes'; > } > > Also for component Y: > <cfcomponent name='Y'> > function x() > {} > > function z() > {} > > <cfcomponent> > > is there a way to get at y's class object to dynamically add methods like > this: > > function addMethodToComponent(methodName,method,component) > { > component[methodName] = method; > } > > Why would one want to do this you might ask?
