Code inside the cfcomponent tag, but not inside a cffunction is executed when the component is initialized. You can make a very good argument that this is not a constructor since it isn't a method, but no one ( at least not yet ) has dictated why using this method is considered bad. Having no code, would be akin to having a blank constructor.It's not bad. I do it all the time in Java. For example the following...
public class Foo {
private String bar = "foobar"; public Foo() {
// do something
}
}The private string bar will most certainly be created prior to the constructor being called.
