Hi Jim, How would you go about doing this? I sorta disclaimed my post with "unless the setter calls the appropriate property-specific setter" piece...I assume that's what you're talking about doing?
I've been required to provide these methods before, and implemented them by making sure set#arguments.propertyName# and get#arguments.propertyName# existed, were functions, and then calling them appropriately. But at that point, why use the generics? -joe On Mon, 2 Aug 2004 09:22:13 -0400, Jim Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Both of these issues can be resolved if the generic getter and setter are > intelligent enough. > > Jim Davis > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > > Of Joe Rinehart > > Sent: Monday, August 02, 2004 8:34 AM > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: Re: [CFCDev] Comment requests CFC instance vars > > > > I've generally avoided the set(property, value) and get(property) > > style construction unless the setter calls the appropriate > > property-specific setter (i.e., set("Name", "joe") calls > > setName("joe")). > > > > The reason's I've avoided it: > > > > 1.
