How to specify argument attributes in CFscript? (CF9)
- by Henry
In CF9 doc: Defining components and functions in CFScript, it says:
/**
*Comment text, treated as a hint.
*Set metadata, including, optionally, attributes, in the last entries
*in the comment block, as follows:
*@metadataName metadataValue
...
*/
access returnType function functionName(arg1Type arg1Name="defaultValue1"
arg1Attribute="attributeValue...,arg2Type
arg2Name="defaultValue2" arg2Attribute="attributeValue...,...)
functionAttributeName="attributeValue" ... {
body contents
}
How do you specify arg1Attribute? I tried this:
public void function setFirstname(string firstname="" displayName="first name"){}
but it does NOT work.
Also, how do you translate this to script-style?
<cffunction name="setPerson">
<cfargument name="person" type="com.Person"/>
</cffunction>
I tried:
function setPerson(com.Person person){}
and it does NOT work either. "You cannot use a variable reference with "." operators in this context" it says.
