Hi Mike, Not that I'm aware of... I'd be willing to bet that the problem you're having with the null pointer error is a result of this somewhere in your cfc: <cfargument name="x" required="false"> Null pointer errors happen a lot when a default is not specified for a cfargument tag. This to me is the most frustrating thing about the lack of nulls in recent versions of CF -- not that we can't use them in general (although that's frustrating) but that there is an _EXTREMELY_ common circumstance which causes them OFTEN and is neither intuitive nor well documented. If the error occurs while creating the object (before init) I would bet that it calls method in the soft-constructor which doesn't provide a not-required argument with no default value -- and then of course attempts to use that undefined argument which results in the null pointer error. s. isaac dealey 434.293.6201 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:234688 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
