cfscript and cfc not working

I have a line

variables.usps = New usps(isProduction=true, isSecure=false, uspsUserID=variables.uspsUserID);

variables.RateV4 = variables.usps.RateV4(
	Service = 'FIRST CLASS',
	FirstClassMailType = 'PARCEL',
	ZipOrigination = '99212',
	ZipDestination = '22193',
	SIZE = 'REGULAR',
	Pounds = '0',
	Ounces = '3.5'

that works just fine in development (which is CF9) but when I load this to live it doesn't work (which is CF8). Why doesn't that work on CF8??

As usual - thanks for the help! Wandering between CF10 and this old CF8 site is a huge pain! Completely missed it. Now the problem is the CFC was written for CF9 so I have to fix that stuff too!

I hear you! I really wish they would make older versions available for developers, so they don't have to depend on the "publish-it-and-hope-it-doesn't-break" method ;-)

So I am working through this mess and getting the error: Variable SETURLTEST is undefined.

<cffunction name="init" access="public" returntype="USPS" output="false" hint="Initializes the USPS CFC">

Which line is throwing the error? I don't see anything that looks CF9 specific, so I'm guessing the problem is in one of the functions. Any chance this CFC is public btw - so I could look a the whole thing?

It is - on GitHub - https://github.com/matthewriley/USPS-CFC . My testing file is https://www.appa.org//bookstore/testu.cfm

Hm... I wonder if it's cfproperty stuff. I know in later versions it creates the setters/getters automatically. I don't remember how it behaved in CF8.

Edit: Yeah, that's the problem. You'll have to create the getters/setters manually.

Edit: Yeah, that's the problem. In CF9+ cfproperty creates the getter/setter's automatically. Not so much in CF8 :/. You have to create those methods manually.

<cffunction name="setURLTEST" access="public" returntype="void">
    <cfargument name="value" type="String" required="true">
    <cfset variables.URLTEST = arguments.value />
