Now if only ColdFusion would support method overloading. ;)
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Matt Woodward Sent: Monday, April 11, 2005 1:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: CFC Bean Getter I think the tricky part is accessing a specific array element on the same line of code because of the notation that would be involved: <cfreturn getSomeArray()[1] /> That doesn't really fly. A getter can certainly return an array (a getter can return ANY type of object and can even return arrays of objects specifically by using myObject[] as your return type), but typically you would set that to a variable and then access the element you need. If you have to do this frequently you might add another getter to your bean that would allow you to get a specific element so you could return the element directly (at which point you're not returning an array but rather whatever type of data is in that element of the array), but both because I haven't determined a way around it and also in a lot of cases to make the code more clear, when a getter returns an array and I need to get at specific elements I usually set the array to a variable and then use array notation on the variable. Let me know if that doesn't make sense or if I'm misunderstanding your specific situation.
