I have a siteoptions bean which holds session variables that are unique to each user. I use roobies cfc bean generator to create a bean which gives me get and set access to variables which essetially match the form on my website that I use to collect the information.
How can I store this information in the database to persist it between visits for my users? The obvious answer would be to have a matching table in the database which has a corresponding field for each form field. I could use transfer for this and it would work great and I understand that. But would that be a good thing? Or is there I way I can take the bean and just save it to the database as one object, easily retrievable for the next session. I guess now that I think about it, either way I will have to have a db table, so there goes that advantage. But if the bean were to grow or change The db wouldn't have to if I was able to save the whole object. Anyone have any thoughts on these ramblings? -- David Mineer Jr --------------------- The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It's as simple as that.
