Strict components in ColdFusion


I am preparing for the ColdFusion 9 exam (9A0-127) and find one question that I can't find answer to. In the exam guide point 10 is a question:

10. Tuning application performance • List and describe the features, benefits, and restrictions when using strict components.

Does anyone know what a strict component is?


Solution

  • Based on the context of the question, I'm going to say it was intended to be "script components"

    • "Script components" actually are a thing in CFML
    • They do have some benefits and some restrictions (missing functionality)

    It's also possible that it was intended to be strict type checking, as Peter alluded to in his comment:

    cfc type checking option in CF Administrator


    For your sake, I'd say just be familiar with both features. Good luck on the test.
