If you think about it, this is really what you would expect. Take the following example ...
You have a security guard 'object' If you tell him to 'getKeys', he should return to you a set of keys If you tell him to 'checkSecurity', he should return nothing - i.e. void the fact that the building is secure is expected if something is wrong, he should throw an exception as it is an exception to the 'norm' I don't know if there is anything magic to this reasoning, it was just the way it was explained to me at one point and it made sense. -- Jeff -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dawson, Michael Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2005 11:33 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Method Question (was RE: [CFCDev] OO Security?) Roland, this is a bit off-topic, but in your checkUserPubAccess() and checkUserRights() methods, you set them to return VOID. When you call these methods, do you assume that if they don't throw an error that everything is OK and you can proceed? I guess you would have to. BTW, this is a great document! I appreciate you sharing it with us. Thanks M!ke ---------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to cfcdev.
