Well that's what I thought and I did state in true inheritance, private methods are not accessible to children.
CFC's are not true OO to begin with, so you can't expect it to confirm to true inheritance. Or interfacing for that matter. Maybe one day, maybe not J I know there is some more, but for the life of me I can't think of them off the top of my head right now. Andrew Scott Senior Coldfusion Developer Aegeon Pty.

Yes, a superclass's private methods are available to subclasses, so in that respect they are actually mimicking the "protected" access modifier that one might find in Java.

It can be done using the following line of code. <cfcomponent extends="component.facility.staff"> </cfcomponent> However true inheritance, means so much more than what Coldfusion offers. Was that what you mean, so if teacher has overridden a class you can do something like this. <cffunction name="someMethod"> <cfargument name="arg1" /> <cfargument name="arg2" /> < cfset Super(arg1, agr2) /> <!--- I think that is right, off the top of my head -à <!--continue with your function à </cffunction> HTH? I will ask one question before I go and double check it, if a cfc is extended from another. Does the parent's private methods still become available in the child cfc? I know in true inheritance this is not the case, but for the life of me I am having a mental blank on that one? Andrew Scott Senior Coldfusion Developer Aegeon Pty.
