init(); in the object.

I was looking at this link and it mentions to put INIT(); into the object so when ever you create the object it would auto init();

So if I do this below as my employeeService and

/*

  • Employee Service
  • @accessors true
    */
    component employeeService output=“false” {

init();

/*

  • init
    */
    function init() output=“false” {
    var oEmployee = createObject(‘component’, ‘testObjects.model.employee.employee’).init();
    return oEmployee;
    }

}

My Employee Object

/*

  • Employee
  • @accessors true
    /
    component employee output=“false” extends=“testObjects.model.user.user” {
    /     properties */
    property name=“rank” type=“string”;

/*

  • init
    */
    function init() output=“false” {
    super.init();
    //department=“HR”;
    return this;
    }

}

and then in my test page put this call to it.

session.oEmployeeService = createObject('component', 'testObjects.model.employee.employeeService');

Am I misunderstanding or shouldn’t it auto init?

I even copied their code.

<cfset init()>

<cfset session.myCart = createObject(“component”,“testObjects.model.shoppingCart”)>

It still does not seem to work.
