If you can simulate it (as in the example I just showed), does it really
matter if it makes it into CF8?

I agree, it would so good if we could create methods with different
arguments. I have flagged this as a wish, so I doubt it will make
CF8... But who knows...

I have a question that could be answered with method overloading but
since CFML is dynamic we don't have that option. What I do you
suggest
I do instead?
In my service layer I have a method called saveObject(). At present it
takes an object as the argument and does this simple bit:
return variables.objectDAO.save(object);
At times, it seems that I can pull more logic out of the controller
and placing it in my service layer by passing in parameters for each
property of the object. Then in the saveObject() method I would have
the following:
object = createObject("component","path.to.object ");
object.setProperty1(arguments.property1);
object.setProperty2(arguments.property2);
....
return variables.objectDAO.save(object);
Both of these approaches are valid and have their place. If we could
do method overloading I would create both methods and the problem
would be solved. Since we can't, what do you suggest I do instead?
Obviously I have to abandon one in favor of the other. Which approach
do you use and why?
Thanks,
Aaron
