Michael, Putting aside any questions of "best practices,"
On 10/3/05, Michel Deloux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote > > Why? That cfc returns a query right? Well, no. It doesn't return anything. You've defined "returntype" as "void." <cffunction name="getAllNames" output="true" access="public" hint="Get all names" returntype="void"> If you want it to return a query, the returntype will need to be a query. And you'll need a <cfreturn> statement, like: <cfreturn session.qryListNames /> But whether you return it or not, you need to get the query results into the session scope. You never set the results of the query into the session. I don't know for sure, but I don't think naming the query with "session" will touch the session scope. Whether you do it inside the CFC or outside, you should run the query (and probably not use "session" in the name), then explicitly set the results into a session variable with a <cfset> statement. There's nothing inherently wrong with accessing the session scope inside a CFC. It's almost unavoidable in a CFC-based application. What you may be thinking of is the use of a "session facade" design pattern to avoid the need for other components to know they're using data stored in the session scope. Also, you may have been quickly typing sample code, but your session variable names don't match, and you've got a missing pound sign. -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool http://www.mediumcool.com 530 Means St NW, Suite 110 Atlanta, GA 30318 404.589.0560 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
