Ray, doesn't this break encapsulation by putting the cfinvoke call _inside_ another component? I'm still trying to learn the OO way, and I keep flip-flopping about best-practices and/or easier programming.

Settings doesn't match this rule. Just in case it wasn't too obvious for others, here is a super simple example of what I'm talking about. Please note I did not include attributes like output=false, hint, var statements, etc, just to make things tighter: settings.cfc: <cfcomponent> <cffunction name="getSettings" returnType="struct"> <!--- set a bunch of vars, or load them from the db, or an xml file, or whatever ---> <!--- simple hard coded example here ---> <cfset var settings = structNew()> <cfset settings.dsn = "moo"> <cfreturn settings> </cffunction> </cfcomponent> foo.cfc: <cfcomponent> <cfinvoke component="settings'" method="getSettings" returnVariable="variables.settings"> <cffunction name="getStuff"> <cfquery name="stuff" datasource="#variables.settings.dsn#"> select whatever </cfquery> <cfreturn stuff> </cffunction> </cfcomponent> What's nice then is that your Application.cfm can use the same cfinvoke statement to get global settings, although it would use returnVariable="application.settings". So now both your CFCs and your outside code all use the same method to get their settings.
