Right, that's a typical - and understandable - mistake that folks new to CFCs tend to make. Too many objects. Don't worry, it takes time to find the right balance. > BUT, whenver I get data on a user, a company, etc., I'm abiding by Ben > Forta's use of the this scope in both the CFWACK and the Advanced book > by using the THIS scope to contain cf-accessible values. Unfortunately Ben's book was written for CFMX 6.0 and was not updated for CFMX 6.1. CFMX 6.0 had a bug that prevented "variables" scope from being used in CFCs. Hal Helm's "Discovering CFCs" suffers from the same problem. They both contain a lot of code that is terrible bad practice based on a fundamental bug in CFMX 6.0. > And, for that matter, do the proponents of the encapsulation > methodology propose a round-trip to the DB for each value, or do they > propose a collection of private instance data to be delivered to the > screen by a special method? DAOs, Gateways and other design patterns address this issue. -- Sean A Corfield -- http://www.corfield.org/ Team Fusebox -- http://www.fusebox.org/ Breeze Me! -- http://www.corfield.org/breezeme Got Gmail? -- I have 6 invites to give away!
