I wouldn't call that a pseudo constructor. I do realise thats what has been adopted, does it make it right. No I don't believe so.
Because technically it is not.... I do know that is what people are saying, and for the life of me I do not know why. Consider this then.. <cfcomponent> ..... Set some local variables ..... Some private and public methods. </cfcomponent> By such definition, if we instantiate the above code and the cfcomponent is a pseudo constructor. Then by that same definition we would then have to say that the methods are now a nested class. just because Coldfusion doesn't have a constructor by default, doesn't mean we should make it more confusing than it already is. i understand why people are thinking this way, but I don't believe it should continue in that manner either. Just my opinion.
