Just curious if anybody has looked at the difference between
using the <cfparam> tag and using the isDefined() function.
For instance: in the Application.cfm or the app_global.cfm file.
If I have a global variable that I would like to prevent from setting
and resetting everytime the file is executed. Would I be better off using
<cfparam> or isDefined().
example:
global variable: client.example
<cfparam name="client.example" default="am i faster">
OR
<cfif not isDefined("client.example")>
<cfset client.example = "or am i faster">
</cfif>
My thought here is that internally the <cfparam> tag
is really a kind of isDefined() function. Yet, being
that this will execute for every single page catches
my curiousity.
Any thoughts?????
Thanks,
