Re: [CFCDev] Question About Invoking/Creating CFC Objects

[Matt Williams]

Don't forget argumentcollection as an alternative.
<cfset args = structNew() />
<cfset args.myVariable = "some value" />
<cfset args.myOtherVariable = "another value" />

<cfset myObject = createObject('component','myObject').init(myDSN) />
<cfset qry_Products = myObject.getProducts(argumentCollection=args) />

This method can be nice if you want to pass in an entire form. Say you have a search form. It's field names match those of the parameters in your search function in your CFC.

Then after instantiating you can do
<cfset qry_Products = myObject.getProducts(argumentCollection=Form) />
Excess Form Fields such as the Submit button or the FieldList are just ignored.
