I'll repeat, in case the point was missed: if the concern here is that structkeyexists doesn't do the job, note again that the arguments struct can be treated as an array as well as a struct. And the arrayisdefined function (new since 8) can test for the existence (or not) of an element in the array-and there will be no element in the array for an argument which was defined with cfargument but not passed in on the call (which was the concern originally presented). Hope that helps someone.

Unfortunately it's too late to strive for consistency at this point. The odd behaviour of structKeyExists is due to the underlying Java implementation, the inconsistent handling of null values in Adobe CFML, and backwards compatibility concerns. CF structs are special Java objects that implement the java.util.Map interface. The method to retrieve a value in a Map is get(key). Map.get(key) returns a Java null if the key does not exist in the map. However if the <snip> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
