ColdFusion MX 7 -- Passing parameters in direct method invocations -- Version 7

Passing parameters in direct method invocations

ColdFusion provides three methods for passing parameters to CFC methods in direct method invocations:

You can pass the parameters the form of comma-separated name="value" entries, as in the following CFScript example:

authorized = securityCFC.getAuth(name="Almonzo", Password="LauRa123");

You can pass the parameters in an argumentCollection structure. The following code is equivalent to the previous example:

argsColl = structNew();
argsColl.username = "Amonzo";
argsColl.password = "LauRa123;
authorized = securityCFC.getAuth(argumentCollection = argsColl);

You can pass positional parameters to a method by separating them with commas. The following example calls the getAuth method, and passes the name and password as positional parameters:

authorized = securityCFC.getAuth("Almonzo", "LauRa123");

Note: For more information on using positional parameters and component methods in ColdFusion functions, see Creating user-defined functions.

Missing quote:

argsColl.password = "LauRa123;

Documentation bug (#60467) has been entered so that the missing quotation mark will be added in the next release of ColdFusion.

Documentation Says there are 3 ways to pass arguments to CFC methods, but technically there is another one similar to the name=value, but instead of using the '=' equals sign, you use a ':' colon instead, which does the same thing:
i.e.
authorized = securityCFC.getAuth(name:"Almonzo", Password:"LauRa123");
