All, Thank you for your patience with my current component problems. I will admit, my primary background is in compiled programming environments. I have been able to work in a pure HTML/CGI environment for web apps using ASP with few conceptual issues. But the mixed environment of web-based applications that have some OOP capabilities is giving me some fits. I did some tests originally that showed I could access scoped variables (APPLICATION, CLIENT and SESSION) from within a component. My further work, I think has determined that you can only access the scoped variables when the method calls are to the cfc file directly as opposed to an instance of the object. REQUEST scope variables only exist for the duration of a single client-server request. My question is, how do you get access to persistent variables, i.e. those that would normally be in APPLICATION, CLIENT or SESSION, from within instantiated components? I have resolved the issue for static variables by creating a base object that all other objects extend containing the static data. But this does not work for variable data; at least I can't think how to make it work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Robert J. Polickoski Senior Programmer, ISRD Inc.
