Problem:
ColdFusion 8 and now 9 do not allow access to private and package functions through the "this" scope even when the function called from within the component definition that defines the package or private function.This limits the ability to chain methods together and makes CFML much more verbose than it needs to be. It is very convenient to return this (<cfreturn this />) and to use that return object to call more methods. i.e. myPage.setTitle(“My Page Title”).validateTitle().save()
Method:
Create a component and define two functions, one private and one public. From the public function call the private function with this.PrivateFunction(). Create a template to create the component object and request the public function.ColdFusion will throw an invalid function access error reporting that the private function cannot be called even though it is being called from within the component definition.See the CFML Compatibility Report for more information on this: http://bit.ly/info/o7zLq
Result:
Access was to the function was restricted
