You should not use the "this" scope for variables because it makes
variables public accessible. Rather, use "variables" scope because it
makes the variables private. You will have to use a getter method to
retrieve the private data.
<cfcomponent name="Log">
<cfscript>
variables.DEBUG = 0;
variables.INFO = 10;
// and so on..
</cfscript>
<!--- GETTER METHOD --->
<cffunction name="getInfo" access="public" ...>
<cfreturn variables.getInfo>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent name="Log">
You should check out www.cfcpowertools.com. It's a web based GUI for
generating CFCs. It will generate getter/setter methods for your
properties.

Subject: [CFCDev] "public static final" in CFCs?
Hello all.
What's the closest thing CF has to "public static final" in java?
For example, I am writing a logging compoent, and I want to declare some
constants:
<cfcomponent name="Log">
<cfscript>
this.DEBUG = 0;
this.INFO = 10;
// and so on..
</cfscript>
</cfcomponent name="Log">
The idea being that in the client code, I can do something like:
myLogInstance.setLogLevel(Log.DEBUG); // I'm aware that Log.DEBUG
will
// fail, as CF doesn't have
static
// vars either
Now, the trouble with using /this/ is that someone can come along and
reassign the values and it will all end in tears.
What practice does the Rest Of The World use for similar situations?
