Taking your example a step farther, lets assume that the determined logic is that the method's will automatically save it once a minimum amount of correct information is set. How would you maintain the object's state? Through either session or user variables? Using fields instead of objects, one could just used hidden fields to pass the information from page to page.

It depends on what makes sense for you. Here is just one example: Article.cfc Article has a method, load, that accepts an ID as an argument. This will read from the db and set info in the CFC instance like title, body, etc. Article has methods to set title, body, etc. Now, for each of these, you could set it up so that each time you set a property, you update the database. You may instead decide to have a method, save, that will update everything at once. If you need to set a lot of properties, this would probably be a bit quicker. You could also ensure that everything is set right. (For example, maybe someone only set title, but not body, and you would not want partial data in the db.) Again, though, you need to do what makes sense for your app. This is just an example. ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Mindseye, Inc Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW : www.camdenfamily.com/morpheus Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda > -----Original Message----- > From: Andy Ousterhout [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, February 04, 2003 9:12 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: CFC set's & get's > > > Do you put the database selects & updates/inserts and the > logic on when to save/read into the set's & gets or do you > have separate methods for reading & writing to/from the database? > > Andy > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
