Description of bug: Struct key case is preserved when array notation is used, but is lost (key is upcased) when dot notation is used. This happens when using either cfset or cfscript. <cfscript> myStruct = structNew(); myStruct.dotNotation = 'UPCASED key'; myStruct['arrayNotation'] = 'CasePreserved key'; </cfscript> <cfdump var="#myStruct#" /> This snippet outputs a dump screen similar to this: struct DOTNOTATION UPCASED key arrayNotation CasePreserved key

Comments: This only causes problems when using struct keys as visual elements on a page -- or, less obviously (so more difficult to troubleshoot), when using Flash Remoting (since ActionScript is case-sensitive) and perhaps other webservice-like applications. Bug is present in all versions of CFMX; have not verified if present in CF5 and earlier. If this is intended behavior, the struct documentation should be amended to indicate that.

C O M M E N T S Comment display is being revamped. We apologize for the delay. Validation   [Steven Erat]   [Thursday, May 10, 2007 01:02 PM] I agree that this should be documented better and will open a CF bug for this. It has been known behavior since the release of CFMX 6.0 in 2002, and by known I mean most developers have been aware of this for a long time. Thanks!
