Copy code
component accessors=true {
private property name="settings"; // <-- do not allow setter/getter publicly
property name="a"; // this is ok publicly
}b

05/19/2022, 9:53 PMthats how I initially created it and I used the setter and getter for it. but then i used the setter from another cfc and caught myself. I should protect it.

05/19/2022, 9:59 PMwell I guess there isn't any. I'm just used to using getSettings() and setSettings( ... ) instead of just
settings = ...b

05/20/2022, 3:38 PMI should have tried that. I thought those attributes would also remove the implicit getter/setter within the cfc. Coding...
