Some thoughts, never tried any of these. It may be possible to use the cfapplication tag within your cfc, giving you access to application and session variables. Although using CF session variables for a web service might needlessly complicate matters. It would be quite an interesting hack though if you got session vars working though, would have to pass cfid/cftoken or uuid back and forth in some way...
If that doesn't work, the server scope might. If all else fails...use the file system to manage state, using wddx if complex types are necessary. -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Thursday, August 7, 2003, 8:12:37 PM, you wrote: kr> Well, I'm not sure it warranted an "of course not", seeing as how it did work fine when called from ColdFusion (I assume CF does not access it through the "web service" channels, even though it's kr> stated to be a remote function).
