Your best bet is to create an global struct (I call mine "instance") in my init() method and store the instance variables in there. Then I have a method call getInstanceData() which is just a return of variables.instance. So, for example, you'd have something like: <cfset variables.instance = structNew() /> <cfset variables.foo = "bar" /> <cfset variables.poo = "stinks" /> and then a method like so: <cffunction name="getInstanceData" returntype="struct" access="public" output="false" hint="I return a snapshot of the instance variables." /> <cfreturn variables.instance /> </cffunction> You'll find that if you work in a clustered environment that this approach will be immensely helpful because CFCs are not sessionable (so you need to get snapshots).
