Stacy I utilize a similar framework for my auction manager. However
where mine differs is that I have a function which determines the name
of the object to be called.
So for example
<cfset bid = createObject('Component', determineBidType(
arguments.bidType ) />
where determineBid is as follows:
function determineBid() {
arguments name="bidType"
var bidName = ""
<cfswitch expression="#arguments.bidType">
<cfcase value="1">cfset bidName =
"model.english_bid"></cfcase>
<cfcase value="2">cfset bidName =
"model.buyNow_bid"></cfcase>
</cfwitch>
return bidName
}
This way your CFCs can have more meaningful names than just something_1
BTW pardon my mix of Actionscript and CF in the above function but I
hope you get the general idea.

Subject: [CFCDev] Modeling CFCs, basic example Part II
I've got a "Report" object which has properties & methods such as:
set/getHeader
set/getRecordset
set/getFooter
set/getTitle
set/getColumnOrder
etc
I've got a "ReportManager" which adds a persistence option when invoking
the Report. i.e. The report may be created for a CSV dump or rendered as
a pageable recordset for use in HTML display.
Where I'm stuck is how to properly model the database query. I was
planning on extending this generic Report object for each report type we
require. Each subclass would most likely contain a method or two that
deal strictly with excuting the SQL or proc and populating the
"recordset" property of the Report object in question. (this make
sense?)
If this is a sound approach...I'm wondering if I can have the
ReportManager accept a "reportType" as a parameter and have it
dynamically formulate the target subclass as follows:
CreateObject("component","com.terrapayments.reports.#arguments.ReportTyp
e#").init()
This way I can add a new report just by dropping in a new subclass of
Report and not have to touch any other components going forward.
Good or ugly? Appreciate ur insights as always. ;)
