I haven't seen performance tests. Anyone? >Now isn't using a CFC instead of a UDF just like using a custom tag? I think it is not. A custom tag is a single entity. You can pass values in and pass values out. It has no state. A CFC is a collection of UDFs (I.E. methods). And between each method call, you can save "state" values if need be. CFCs are also security conscience and integrate with CFMX new security model. UDFs are not. >We >still have a central "black box" if you will and we still have inputs and >outputs? On a very high level, this is correct. I think it is the nitty gritty that makes things different. Can you accomplish everything you can do with a CFC using a custom tag? I'm sure you can. That doesn't mean that one negates the use of another. -- Jeffry Houser | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Need a Web Developer? Contact me!
