My application is in testing right now. I'm working out how I am going to distribute it (I hope to have it a standalone app. I'm looking into using Jetty or using Blackstone's WAR file process - this part is new to me). I have not set pricing just yet. I hope to have this part finalized soon. I'll keep you posted and thanks for the interest.

The Getter and Setter school of thought is kinda hard to understand at first but once you get use to it, it pretty straight forward. Also Tom, I'm very interested in you cfcpowertools, how much does it cost? Thanks Sophek "Schreck, Tom" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] ser.com> To Sent by: [email protected] [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc fug.org Subject RE: CFC Super.init 01/13/2005 07:46 AM Please respond to [email protected] Daniel- Yes, Honda will have access to the instance data and methods in Car. The instance data would be data you would place in "this" or "variables" scope. There is a difference between "this" and "variables" scopes. "This" scope makes the variable data placed in "this" scope accessible outside of the CFC. "Variables" scope makes the variable data placed in "variables" scope private to the CFC. There are different schools of thought on how to handle instance data. Some people subscribe to the thought that all data of a CFC should be private and only accessible via getter/setter methods. This school of thought would use the variables scope. Others prefer the openness and ease of use of accessing the instance data directly. This school of thought would use the this scope. I'd like to take this moment to plug my application, cfcpowertools (www.cfcpowertools.com). My application is a web based GUI for creating CFCs. Here are some highlights: Concept: - GUI for creating CFC, database backend, and data entry form all at the same time. - when defining a CFC, you can choose the type of instance data (this or variables) and identity type (integer or guid). Identity type controls if the identity field should be an integer or a guid. - choose to have getter/setter methods to be automatically created for each property - define a property as how it should be defined in the database and how it should be displayed in a form - comes with SQL select, insert, update, and delete methods - builds database table to hold instance data - right now supports SQL Server. Other databases comin in the future I will be presenting my application at the February CFUG.

Lets say I have the following: - 2 CFCs, one called Car the other called Honda - Honda extends Car - Car.init sets two 'this' scoped or 'variables' scoped variables (hopefully it doesn't madder in this example) - Honda.init calls super.init() Shouldn't all of Honda's methods have access to the 2 variables set in the Car init() method, either directly or via Car's getter methods? If not, how do you get this functionality and is this a common design pattern? Am I designing things the wrong way. Thanks, I can really use the help.
