Say you have the following abc.cfc :
<cfcomponent>
...
<cffunction name="x">
<cfargument name="a">
<cfargument name="b">
<cfargument name="c">
<cfargument name="d">
...
</cffunction>
...
</component>
Ang you going to invoke in from somewhere else. Depending on the situation,
sometimes you'll have different combinations of the arguments (for example
maybe your using the same function to run some user search for both a simple
and advanced mode) . Using argumentCollection, you can avoid the hassle of
having to pass in blank values so that the positioning is right - you would
doing something like:
<cfset i = structnew()>
<cfif simple_case>
<cfset i["a"] = form_imput_A>
<cfelse>
<cfset i["b"] = form_imput_B>
<cfset i["c"] = form_imput_C>
<cfset i["d"] = form_imput_D>
</cfif>
<cfset results =
createobject("component","path_to_cfc.abc").x(argumentCollection=i)>
That certainly isn't an in depth example... but hope it helps some!
