For me it definitely started out as this - no doubt (and to my knowledge CF still doesn't have this although I've only just started with Eclipse). But now there's some neat stuff in there - just having the various type checking and access checking done automatically is very nice. You also have (I think) much more useful metadata and introspective documentation generation (that link to the component I published is generation dynamically based in part of the property definitions). Remember also that this is purely optional - IF you want to use it (and get automated type checking, meta data generation and so forth) then great, if not then your own getters and setters will be called with very little overhead. For me I find it simpler on several levels. Jim Davis ---------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to cfcdev.
