Umm just hold on here a second... The DRK(s) contain a selection of components created either for or by Macromedia and are being sold as a commercial product (developers need to get paid you understand)
The Developers exchanges (http://www.macromedia.com/exchange) are still chocked full of Freeware/Shareware/Cardware and commercial components created by independent developers (like you) for the benefit of all (and the kudos) So yes, there is a small outlay, but there is goodness in there... Now as for helping developers, we are all for helping struggling developers. Infact we are working on a package as we speak to give you more for even less... Stay tuned!

I guess bread needs to be put on the table though and the publisher needs to get paid. One of these days though I look forward to a download button provided by some new Mr Carnegie from where you can download most if not all scientific/technical books for free. I suppose if I had a bigger budget to afford them I`d be complaining less, .......donations to me at ......:-)Here's the key to the car you've just bought, now outside I would like to show you a nice selection of engines to go with it, I suppose though they charge extra for accessories, I`m wandering off, back to work, liked your article on CFDJ on arrays, nice idea in CFDJ to concentrate as well on the middle ground as well as the cutting edge and do in depth stuff on tag sets, gotta go cheers Colm -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 21 January 2003 12:24 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] Collection object (cfc) Sheesh, they're two completely separate things, Colm. How many books have you bought that have a workbook attached? Usually, publishers won't put things like workbooks out because they won't sell enough, so we developers keep getting the same books with an encyclopaedic scope but that don't dig into any one subject. It's not the authors fault; the publishers insist that "big books sell". If you want to argue that both should be cheaper (although $10 is pretty danged cheap), that might be a good argument, but not that we wrote a book -- and then a separate workbook.

Hate to plug Helms again since the auld scrooge charges an extra $10 for his workbook after you pay for his book "Discovering cfc`s", or does that make me one for compalining about it :) You'll have to consult his book for more on it, but here is an intro. Persistance is based upon the principle of inheritance in such object oriented languages such as c++ and java. He has an example, Employee.cfc that extends another cfc, Person.cfc Say Person.cfc is <cfcomponent> <cfset this.gender = "null"> <cfset this.firstname = "null"> <cfset this.lastname = "null"> <cfset this.dateOFBirth = "null"> <cffunction name="getFirstName"> <cfreturn this.firstname"> </cffunction> </cfcomponent> And another cfc, Employee.cfc that extends Person.cfc <cfcomponent hint="I am an Employee" extends="net.cbweb.CFCs.Person"> </cfcomponent> The really cool thing about cfcs and persistance and inheritance is that once you have the employee blueprint created above, through inheritance you get access to all the variables, functions of its parent, Person.cfc you can set up a test file in the same cfc's directory as follows, <cfset missWorld = CreatObject('component','Employee')> <cfoutput> My first name is #missWorld.getFirstName()# </cfoutput> and cause Employee extends Person through inheritance it has its variables and methods and supertypes borrowed from Person and can output this as My first name is null so Employee has made getFirstName() function as part of its own scope also the variables available to that scope, its OOPS(object oriented processing of variables,methods) rgds Colm http://www.cbweb.net -----Original Message----- From: Justin MacCarthy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 20 January 2003 11:26 To: Cfuk Subject: [ cf-dev ] Collection object (cfc) Hi all, Has anyone written a generic collection component (cfc)? One that can contain other cfcs etc. Share the code? How did you deal with persistence?
