The URL just worked for me... but it's a long one. Here's a tiny one: http://tinyurl.com/dxkd4 The problem I'm having however is on a different, non-public server. > I stand by my "no inheritance" statement.

Again, composition rather than > inheritance. I'm not sure... these are "extensions" (for the most part) not "Utilities". I want to use the "setProp" method for all CFCs - so I remember to extend this root one. Otherwise I'd have to create every CFC with properties as a composite... doesn't seem right to me. Something like a generic getter or setter (which I know is probably controversial in it's own right), a "clone" method or certain other things seem to work best to me as methods of the object rather than properties of a composite object. These are the kind of things I'd add to the Object prototype in a language like JavaScript - but CF doesn't allow for that kind of thing so I'm left with inheritance. But at the same time you might be right about NOT doing it with WebServices (just to keep them simpler)... still, regardless of the choice I end up making it would be nice to know why this is causing an error...
