best served by just the key stored in the session scope (i.e. the iso
code, or how the locale is identified). Then a UI cfc in the app scope
could get the locale-based ui-element names, for instance.
I think it is much clearer by an example where the CFC models a
"real-world object". A shopping cart for instance. The cart.cfc is
instantiated at the beginning of the session, and is gone by the end of
it (it is of course possible to make it persistant between the sessions
as well). During the session the cart is (hopefully) manipulated by
accessing various methods and properties.
By using the "Session Facade" pattern, the cart.cfc can be ignorant on
what scope it is in.
See Sean Corfields development guide for Mach-II for a little more
information (the above info is bascially from there). I think I also
read a Sun page about that pattern -- I am no OO specialist! :)
