Using an alternate constructor

The following ColdFusion page explicitly calls one of the alternate constructors for the Employee object:

<html>
<body>

<cfobject action="create" type="java" class="Employee" name="emp">
<cfset emp.init("John", "Doe", 100000.00, 10 )>
<cfset firstname=emp.firstname>
<cfset lastname=emp.lastname>
<cfset salary=emp.GetSalary()>
<cfset grade=emp.GetJobGrade()>

<cfoutput>
   Employee name is  #firstname# #lastname#<br> 
   Employee salary #DollarFormat(Salary)#<br>
   Employee Job Grade  #grade#
</cfoutput>

</body>
</html>

In this example, the constructor takes four arguments: the first two are strings, the third is a float, and the fourth is an integer.
