Ah! ... OK, so I use cfset then... I did intend to manage a ('private')
property with set and get methods as you suggested...
My tests of using cfset in the 'this' scope have failed to get
persistence btween calls to remote methods. For example, I 1)
initilialize this.lasterror before any function tag 'declarations', 2)
change the value in one method, which also puts the proof into cflog, 3)
then call another method (using the same line of code).... blotto! The
value gets re-initialized just b4 the second method call...
I just read Forta's latest article on CFC's CF Dev Journal and it leads
me to b'leave that the only way to persist variables btwn method calls
is to store the object in a scope that the CF architecture already
defines as persistent, like session or client or application. So you use
<cfobject component="" ...> syntax then attach it to client or something.
Thanks for the response... I'll briefly summarize the results of my
suffering later...hook or crook
