Passing parameters in direct method invocations

ColdFusion provides three methods for passing parameters to CFC methods in direct method invocations:

1. You can pass the parameters the form of comma-separated name="value" entries, as in the following CFScript example:

   authorized = securityCFC.getAuth(name="Almonzo", Password="LauRa123");

2. You can pass the parameters in an argumentCollection structure. The following code is equivalent to the previous example:

   argsColl = structNew(); 
   argsColl.username = "Almonzo"; 
   argsColl.password = "LauRa123"; 
   authorized = securityCFC.getAuth(argumentCollection = argsColl);

3. You can pass positional parameters to a method by separating them with commas. The following example calls the getAuth method, and passes the name and password as positional parameters:

   authorized = securityCFC.getAuth("Almonzo", "LauRa123");
