approach 3:
create getters/setters in CFC for all fields. Values are set either
directly into variables scope, or into an instance struct within the
variables scope.
CF code would then be: objContacts.setName("Joseph");
The data members should definitely be in the variables scope and not
the this scope, and I don't like the dollar sign nomenclature because to
me it means an inner class (and to CF when working w/ java objects).

This is a request for comments about an approach I am considering for
CFSQLTool's code generation for CFC.
Background. Currently the CFC code generated with CFSQLTool does not
include a feature that does instance variables for a table's CRUD CFC.
I
would like to add that feature.
Example.
SQL Table: Contacts
ContactsID
Name
DateCreate
File: Contacts.CFC
CF: objContacts = createObject("component","Contacts");
Problem. CF with getmetadata or cfdump makes no type distinction
between
variable and function namespaces.
Approach 1. Create a structure, instance
instance = StructNew();
instance.Name = "";
So in code say, objContacts.instance.Name = "Joseph";
Approach 2. Use the this scope with $ var name
this.$Name = "";
So in code say, objContacts.$Name = "Joseph";
Currently, I like Approach 2 the best. It distinguishes variables names
from function names. Less coding than an instance structure. But I
would
like to hear other comments or other approaches.
