Re: [CFCDev] Beans: Explicit vs Implicit arguments?

[Ken Dunnington]

Agreed! That's why the code I wrote doesn't write any files, just gives 
me a textarea with its output, ready for perusal (I'd need to modify 
anything that required a data member that wasn't numeric, string or 
date). My coworkers use WYSIWYG HTML editors - believe me, I'm all too 
familiar with the evils of auto-generated code ;)

In any case, the main reason the question came up is Mach-ii's 
<event-bean> mechanism appears to require explicit setters for all 
fields you want to use, so if you have 15 string members in your bean, 
and one list member, it's nice to only have to write one function. :)

Now let us never speak of it again.

Say I need custom getters for 50% of fields, but I want to use getters 
for
everything, just to be consistent, and to isolate the object from 
future
implementation changes.  Chances are remarkably good that that the 
generated
function will remain almost entirely unchanged; just the CFRETURN tag 
will
need modification.

I agree that mindless get/set methods are bad, particularly when they 
are
autogenerated, but that doesn't mean that I can't use autogeneration 
to get
95% of the way to what I need.

If the getters and setters are so easy to script up then they
shouldn't be
there in the first place. Using getters and setters is a
debatable practice
to being with, but when you throw code generation into the
mix the practice
is surely bad; some would even say the practice is evil.
