BeanFactoryAware in cfscript

[Tony Nelson]

Random question, but is it possible to make a component written in
script aware of the bean factory? My first thought would be something
like:

component {

public void function setBeanFactory(required
coldspring.beans.BeanFactory beanFactory) {
variables.beanFactory = arguments.beanFactory;
}

}

Doing that will cause a syntax error saying "You cannot use a variable
reference with "." operators in this context". Is it possible to use
periods in argument types? If so, what's the syntax?

If I remember correctly, you will need to go:

import coldspring.beans.*;

component {

       public void function setBeanFactory(required BeanFactory beanFactory) {
               variables.beanFactory = arguments.beanFactory;
       }

}

Although I can't remember if the import statement goes inside or outside the component definition.

I believe the fact you need an import is a bug on the tracker...

Will that work with ColdSpring though? If I remember correctly, ColdSpring will check the component's meta data look for a "setBeanFactory" function that has 1 argument with a type of "coldspring.beans.BeanFactory". Will importing coldspring.beans.* have an effect on the meta data of the function's argument? At first glance, I would assume it wouldn't.

You could always try it ;o)

But yes, it will return the same meta data. The import statement allows 'BeanFactory' to be resolved to 'coldspring.beans.BeanFactory'. The metadata should be identical.
