| A wrapper is a piece of code that wraps or abstracts the use of another piece of code. For example, say you wrote a set of Java classes to handle temperature conversion. Now you want to use these in your ColdFusion application. But you don't want any of your CF developers to worry about how the Java classes are implemented, or even require them to know that Java classes are being used at all. You could write a CFC that uses the Java classes, and then all of your developers would just use your CFC. Your CFC is a "wrapper" for the Java classes. |
