Given this interface:
~~~~
// IAdditionalOptional.cfc
interface {
public numeric function f(required numeric x);
}
~~~~
This CFC's f() method *does* fulfil the contract:
~~~~
// AdditionalOptional.cfc
component implements="IAdditionalOptional" {
public numeric function f(required numeric x, numeric y){
if (structKeyExists(arguments, "y")){
return x * y;
}else{
return x * 2;
}
}
}
~~~~
The requirement is that f() is defined and will take a numeric argument x. Which it does. Job done. Note that the y argument is *optional* so f(x[,y]) can indeed be used in any situation where f(x) is the requirements.
You're being too literal in what interface contracts are for, and overlooking that CFML has optional arguments.
