RE: [CFCDev] LTOs

For me, it's mainly the difference of typing obj.getFirstName() and obj.firstName.
 
I like the structure-like obj.firstName, with the safety of having no setters.
 
I'm aware of the ways to currently handle this in CF, I just wish we had VB-like property setters and getters.  That is my Christmas wish.

if you use some sort of code generator to create your LTOs u could create them as getVarName() in the same time as it would be to create the 'this' scope variables.

or just create your bean with gets and sets, then generate your LTO from the bean and change all the sets to private. This is in essence is what a TO is isnt it ? a read-only bean ?

If that is not possible, then I would like VB-similar setters and
getters where you call:

<cfset obj.varName = "mike">

Where CF "knows" that I just called the "setVarName" method in "obj".
