This may be obvious but I'm a bit confued about what you're asking. I think it's important to note that CFCs are not merely "method libraries" as you might create with UDFs.
They are best used when you create a CFC that represents a real-world class of objects (e.g. contacts), and you instantiate it to represent an individual object belonging to this class (e.g. "Michel"). The methods are then things like getFirstName(), setEmail(), serialise(), delete() -- i.e. they are actions you perform on the object. I would generally create a contact cfc for working with just one contact, and a contacts cfc for working with aggregate contacts -- browsing, searching, etc. The contacts cfc would generally simply return a query record set. -----Original Message----- From: Michel Deloux [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 21 October 2005 7:16 a.m. To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CFC - separate or all in one?
