RE: [CFCDev] Inside the CFC: use Getter/Setter or Instance Scope

[Gurevich, Gerry (NIH/NIEHS)]

I have getters and setters.   My question is specifically targeted for when you are inside the CFC.  Shouldn’t the methods inside an object have direct access to that object’s properties?   ----------------------------------- Gerry Gurevich Application Development NIEHS ITSS Contractor Lockheed Martin Information Technology 919-361-5444 ext 311 From: Cody Caughlan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 12, 2005 2:10 PM To: CFCDev@cfczone.org Subject: RE: [CFCDev] Inside the CFC: use Getter/Setter or Instance Scope   Always use getters/setters. This allows for encapsulation.   I use "variables.instance.propertyA", "variables.instance.propertyB", etc. and then getters/setters for each, e.g.   <cffunction name"getPropertyA" access="public" returntype="WHATEVER">     <cfreturn variables.instance.propertyA /> </cffunction>   And then you write a function similarly for the setter...   BTW, "Rooibos Generator" by Peter Farrell, accessible at:         From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gurevich, Gerry (NIH/NIEHS) Sent: Wednesday, October 12, 2005 11:01 AM To: cfcdev@cfczone.org Subject: [CFCDev] Inside the CFC: use Getter/Setter or Instance Scope If I’m inside a CFC and I’ve created an instance scope, how should I access the properties of the object.   this.getBlah  or instance.Blah   Any thoughts?   ----------------------------------- Gerry Gurevich Application Development NIEHS ITSS Contractor Lockheed Martin Information Technology 919-361-5444 ext 311   ---------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to cfcdev.
