Here is my call on it (although I have not tried to see if this makes a difference or not)...... In a <CFCOMPONENT> you can use a mechanism to have a (or several) member variable of the object map to a method....... <CFSET this.myFunc = theRealFunctionName> (where theRealFunctionName is a <CFFUNCTION>) In the method itself, you could use displayName="myFunc". I have used this approach (not the displayName - but the assignment feature - to help provide a way to be able to call base class methods in descendants but still have "overrides" in the descended classes. Having said that - the mechanism I described above is not sanctioned in any of the doco I have read - so I am still stumped as to exactly what the displayName attribute is for.
