Aaron,
I think your suggestion is a very good and practical one. Because I
don't know how we could achieve method overloading directly within CF
itself since by nature it is dynamic (though Sammy had some good
ideas), I think your suggestion is the next best thing. Now I just
have to decide if I want all of the methods in my service layer of if
I should put saveStruct() and saveObject() in my DAO whilst the
generic save() method alone is in my service like so:
<cffunction name="save" output="no" etc>
<cfargument name="theThing" type="any" required="yes">
<cfargument name="theBits" type="any" required="no">
<cfargument name="theOhterBits" type="any" required="no">
<cfif isStruct(arguments.theThing)>
<cfreturn objectDAO.saveStruct(arguments.theThing)>
<cfelseif isObject(arguments.theThing)>
<!--- check arrayLen(arguments) etc --->
<cfreturn objectDAO.saveObject(arguments.theThing)>
<cfelse>
etc
</cfif>
</cffunction>
Thanks,
Aaron
