You can alos do it this way <cfobject component="com.locavista.location" name="objLocation"> <cfset objLocation.init(156537)>
<cfoutput>#objLocation.getName()#</cfoutput> <cfoutput>#objLocation.getXXX()#</cfoutput> -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Chiverton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 26 March 2003 12:02 To: CF-Talk Subject: CFCs - get'ers Vs. return object I'm just starting to write my first CFC in anger, as it were, and was curious about what others were doing. Are people writing a number of of getX,getY,getName,get.... methods, each returning a string/numer and then using <cfobject component="com.locavista.location" name="objLocation"> <cfoutput>#objLocation.getName(156537)#</cfoutput> OR writing a single get that returns a query or custom object, and then using <cfinvoke component="com.locavista.location" method="get" iLocId="156537" returnVariable="objLocation" > <cfoutput>#objLocation.description#</cfoutput> Obviously, no difference in output, but writing lots of get'ers is time consuming, though provides better abstraction from the datastore. Also, each getX will make a database query, so outputting a list of the objects will be much slower using the first method than the second, as I see it. So I'm plumbing for doing it the 2nd way - is there any sort of consensous on this ? -- Tom C "Land of the free, home of the brave... you have to be brave to live there and enjoy the freedoms" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
