It does improve performance. However, I (and others) have found issues with CFCs that are cached and under load. (And I don't mean big honkin amazon.com load, just medium level load.) Issues like:
1) Methods not working anymore - in other words, you call foo() and the CFC forgets it has foo() (This happened on my blog.) 2) Method blah() has a query inside. It returns the query. I kept getting errors stating that it wasn't returning a query, however, I never saw any db errors. For some reason, the cfquery would run, make a recordset called whatever, whatever exists, but wasn't a "real" recordset. (Happens on cflib.org.) Both issues disappeared if I remove the CFC from cache. I can also say MACR knows about these issues, so I bet they will be fixed soon. I bring them up because they are the worst kind of bugs... bugs that don't happen 100% of the time. :) (And if you don't know it already, Red Sky will have LOADs of CFC fixes, check out my mx on the rocks preso for more info. And yes, I was given permission to mention this.) ======================================================================== === Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Mindseye, Inc (www.mindseye.com) Member of Team Macromedia (http://www.macromedia.com/go/teammacromedia) Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Blog : www.camdenfamily.com/morpheus/blog Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda > -----Original Message----- > From: Rich Z [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, July 03, 2003 9:45 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Caching cfc objects in the application scope > > > Is this worth doing?
