I found a neat little feature in Railo 3.1 which I myself is calling multi-variable assignments.
Let’s say you want to assign a value to multiple variables in coldfusion. You would usually do this:
Name = "Luis Majano";
ColdboxAuthor = Name;
CodexAuthor = Name;
AwesomenessAuthor = Name;
That is really neat right, well, Railo makes it fun!
Name = "Luis Majano"
ColdboxAuthor = CodexAuthor = AwesomenessAuthor = Name
How about that!! I can assign values to multiple variables, by just concatenaning the equals. Keep exploring Railo and you will find some nice hidden gems.
I *think* I read that you can do this in CF9, when it comes out. Sure does look familiar.
Eww.. don’t like it at all.
I’ve always liked the java way of doing things:
myVar, myVar2, myVar3 = 0;
Sadly I’ve been waiting since CF6 for this to work
