If you use <cfobject> or createObject(), you can store the object instance in the application or session scopes for later use. That will let you use the objects on subsequent requests.
If you don't name the instance, or don't use the named instance, CF will create new calls to the objects in later code/pages. M!ke -----Original Message----- From: Ben Mueller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2005 1:18 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: cfcomponent state persistence 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.
