cfml

If I have an instance of a component in java using `lucee.runtime.Component` how do I access a variable set in the `variables` scope from inside of that CFC? I tried `get` but it is deprecated and will return null

You may want to provide a code example. I don't think there is any reasonable way that will allow you to access to the private scope of a java class.

<@U94SSGH8C> To be clear you want to snag out the variables scope without modifying the actual CFC?

This can easily be done with a mixin injection

```function spy() {
  return variables;
}
c = new Component();
c.spy = spy;
dump( c.spy() )```
and boom, you've dumped out the private variables scope of that CFC

When the spy method is added onto the CFC, it's reference to the `variables` scope will change to the variables scope of the CFC it now lives in.

Note, you must use a normal UDF as a closure will keep pointed to the `variables` scope of the location it was declared due to lexical scoping rules.
