Passing a Structure

• Passing a structure, or even a query, to a custom tag is also easy

• Two modest challenges

  • refer to structurename in custom tag via name of parameter passed
    • Person, in example
  • Not name of the structure as created in caller
    • Emp, in example
  • Also, remember to use structure notation in attribute.variable references

<cfset emp = structnew()><cfset emp.fname=“charlie”><cfset emp.lname=“arehart”>

<cf_doit6 person=“#emp#”>

<CFOUTPUT> Hi, #attributes.person.fname#

#attributes.person.lname#</CFOUTPUT><br>

Hi, charlie arehart
