In the order of most efficient to least efficient: CF9 implicit getter/setter > getter/setter function > CF8 onMissingMethod() I usually use cfscript for getting and setters, then if I happen to upgrade to CF9, i just set accessors=true and delete the getter/setter cfscript block. Just have to make sure you use variables scope instead of variables.instance.

We can't really wait that long. :-). Joel Henry,

Interesting – but as coldfusion8 took 2 years to arrive here. We can’t really wait that long. :-) .

They were unconvinced, so I found a few backup sources. I think its a great feature :-) I thought you would, I was trying to convince a few people at work that a couple of implicit getters and setters would help us.

As such, I completely misunderstood what they were for (and was a bit misinformed as well). Since that post, I have come to rather like onMissingMethod() and use it for fun and profit (as Dan Wilson would say).
