CFML's private is roughly the same as Java's protected.
CFML does not have an equivalent to Java's private.

Java's protected means: can be accessed only by the component *and itse inherited descendants*.
Java's private means: can be accessed only by the component.
C++ uses the same terms. I think C# does too. CFML is the odd one out.
This is something to be aware of since we (CFers) don't want to make fools of ourselves by using CFML terms in front of Java / C++ / C# developers and not knowing that those languages use different terms! -- Sean A Corfield -- http://www.corfield.org/ Team Fusebox -- http://www.fusebox.org/ Breeze Me! -- http://www.corfield.org/breezeme Got Gmail? -- I have 1 invite
