The Arguments scope

The Arguments scope exists only in a method, and is not available outside the method. It contains the variables passed into the method, including variables passed in the following ways:

• As named attributes to the cfinvoke tag
• In the cfargumentcollection attribute of the cfinvoke tag
• In cfinvokeargument tags
• As attributes or parameters passed into the method when the method is invoked as a web service, by Flash Remoting, as a direct URL, or by submitting a form.

You can access variables in the Arguments scope using structure notation (Arguments.variablename) or array notation (Arguments[1] or Arguments["variablename"]).

The Arguments scope does not last between calls to CFC methods.

These variables are available to pages included by the function.
