Basically, this is the same for me - except I call the LTOs (lightweight
transfer objects) as a distinction from java TOs. I'll paste an example
below:
<cfcomponent displayname="phoneTo"
output="false"
hint="A LTO that model the phone form.">
<cffunction name="init" access="public" output="false"
returntype="phoneTo">
<cfargument name="phone_id" type="numeric" required="false"
default="0" />
<cfargument name="statuscode" type="string" required="false"
default="" />
<cfargument name="phone_call_type" type="string"
required="false" default="" />
<cfargument name="phone_number_type" type="string"
required="false" default="" />
<cfargument name="phone_area_code" type="string"
required="false" default="" />
<cfargument name="phone_number" type="string" required="false"
default="" />
<cfargument name="phone_ext" type="string" required="false"
default="" />
<cfscript>
this.Phone_id = arguments.phone_id;
this.Statuscode = arguments.statuscode;
this.Phone_call_type = arguments.phone_call_type;
this.Phone_number_type = arguments.phone_number_type;
this.Phone_area_code = arguments.phone_area_code;
this.Phone_number = arguments.phone_number;
this.Phone_ext = arguments.phone_ext;
return this;
</cfscript>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
I feel that I gain a few things over a simple struct. When init()ing a
LTO, I can easily see what arguments I need
