Well, you can't store complex data in client scope. You *can* store CFC instances in session scope (and other shared scopes) although you cannot generate output from a CFC in a shared scope (see many other threads on this issue). I didn't see Ray's post about this (or wherever he said it was possible). > Interestingly, I could not find any mention of using the client scope > with > CFC's from macromedia. Does this mean it is not supported?

Well, using J2EE sessions allows you to leverage the underlying application server's machinery so you can take advantage of JRun's session management. That's the route my team are going, looking to use session fail over etc. We're not using client scope at all (partly because we don't want the overhead associated with DB access, partly because we want to store complex data in session scope).
