Just a FYI. There is a mailing list at cfc.org
<http://www.cfczone.org/> http://www.cfczone.org/ where cfcs are
discussed in depth. I think Raycamden also posted a link to an archive
somewhere. Finally to the original poster - what version of CF are you
using?

Subject: RE: CFC's

Just starting to mess around with CFC's and have a few questions:

1) Can the template set a session variable and the CFC read the values
from that session?  And can a CFC set a session variable and the
template then read those variables .. I have been having some trouble
with this and wanted to clarify.

Yes, it can - what kind of trouble have you been having?

2) We have two session variables that somewhat interact.  One is an
array populated with structs while the other is just a struct.  relating
to my 1st question, can you manipulate both of those session variables
in one function and then return back the output?

Yup.  I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "return back the output"
however.  Are you passing the session variables into the method or are
you manipulating them directly from with it?  What are you returning?
Once you make your return, what are you doing with it?

3) Is there a good website that gets into the heavy details of CFC's,
with some good examples of manipulating sessions and other variables ...
dealing with queries is easy enough.

Well - I'm going through them myself now so while I think I may a little
ahead you can still me clearly.  ;^)  Once I figure it out myself I'd
like to publish some of what I've found - but that doesn't help you at
all.

There are some sites that touch on them more or less.  One to keep an
eye on is www.cfoop.com <http://www.cfoop.com/
<http://www.cfoop.com/%3e> >  - its a little light
right now, but has the focus.  Many of the MM folks blogs are also CFC
heavy (to a greater or lesser extent).

Right now one of the best places to go is the MM support/developer's
area.  Even that's a still light however.

Even this list, normally chock-full of responses tends to peter-out when
CFCs are mentioned.  Or maybe it's just my questions.  ;^)

It seems to me that many of us (myself included) waited until RedSky to
even look at CFCs and we are now, as a community, going through a large
learning process.

I fully expect CFC information to explode sooner than later as the
user-base gets more and more familiar with them.
