So, if the type isn't what you want, you're planning to throw an exception, right?
As Charlie mentioned, I would suggest that you embrace type="any". This is known as 'duck typing'. If it looks like a duck, and if it walks like a duck, and if it quacks like a duck, it must be a duck! You're expecting the components in the array to have a particular API, right? So if one is called that does not have the correct API, an exception is thrown automatically, right? Whether you throw the exception manually because the provided component is not the "right type", or whether CF throws the exception because the provided component does not have the requested API, an exception is still going to be thrown, and you're still going to have to address the issue prior to moving on. In short, duck typing is your friend. (Yes, I realize how funny it is that a guy with my last name would talk about duck typing.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:321205 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
