This is probably a *really* stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyway...
If I make a call to a <cfcomponent>, specifically as a web service, the object that it instantiates only persists for that single page request, correct? Meaning, there is no simple way to make 1 web service call to instantiate the object, and then make subsequent calls against that particular instantiation later, right? It would appear that two <cfinvoke> calls, one right after the other on a page, and calling the same remote web service, creates a new session each time on the remote server. So, I couldn't even set the object to a session scope variable if I wanted to--at least not easily. It doesn't entirely sound like any of what I suggest is a good idea to begin with, but I just need to make sure I understand this point. Also...if I invoke a cfcomponent locally (not as a web service), does the object still only last for that one page request? I assume if I call it locally that I would have an easier time setting the object to a session variable (even if that's still a bad practice), right? Thanks in advance, and be gentle.
