>- see footer for list info -<
Thanks everyone for your replies - clearly a lot of opinions and I like them
all. So what do I do? Since my app is for the biggest project I've ever
worked on in my life I can appreciate the benefits of using this
encapsulated OOP approach. But I also love Russ's approach (or attitude!)
:-)
Returning a structure hasn't been as bad as I first thought. It's only 2
extra lines of code and if it keeps things tidy, allows encapsulation/OOP,
and will mean future programmers won't need to open up CFCs then I'll go for
it. Can I just check my code is saintly enough - I think this is what
Dominic was explaining. This CFC gets 2 queries in one go.
In the CFC:
<CFSET result=StructNew()>
<CFSTOREDPROC blah blah (SP returns 2 queries in 1 go)>
<CFPROCRESULT name="result.query1" resultset="1">
<CFPROCRESULT name="result.query2" resultset="2">
<CFRETURN result>
In the parent page:
<CFSET obj=CreateObject("component","myCFC")>
<CFSET result=obj.myFunction(args)>
<CFSET query1=result.query1>
<CFSET query2=result.query2>
Ta-daa! I think this combines the simplicity that THIS gives with the
benefits of OOP. Do I pass? ;-)
Cheers all,
Gary.
