RE: [CFCDev] component extends object with relative path

[Jurgen Stillaert]

You can’t use a variable in the extends attribute. If you do, an error like “This _expression_ must have a static value.” pops up.   That’s a pitty. For development reasons, for me it’s a huge negative point in the Object Based approach of Macromedia. Another problem is the use of overloaded and overridden methods. I know the solution is to use optional variables, but that’s just good enough… Someone knows another solution for that?   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lucian COZMA Sent: maandag 24 mei 2004 17:17 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [CFCDev] component extends object with relative path   Hello all.   I want to create a cfc that extents another cfc located in a relative path (non-mapped) as shown below: /   models/porsche.cfc   vehicles/car.cfc I want that porsche.cfc extends vehicles/car.cfc: <cfcomponent extends="../vehicles/car> I know that it doesn't work , but is there a way of doing such a thing ? I cannot use full-package names (mysite.site1.vehicles.car), as the path is unknown and there is a whole lotta' mess in the placements of the components in the existing application . Should I extract the class name from the path and use it dynamically in the 'extends' attribute (like: extends="#myClassPath#") ? On the same page, a related question, is there any way of adding programatically a mapping (not using the Administrator) ?   Thanks, Lucian @ InterAKT Online
