I am not one to give guidance since I am new to all this myself, but... I don't use an object factory. Instead I init all of my services, gateways and DAOs in Application.cfm. This provides the same benefits Adrian mentioned for using object factories (there are probably other benefits to using object factories that my approach does not benefit from). I have also chosen to place Application.cfm files in each directory. That way I am only initting objects that will be used in that directories files. If all of my objects for the entire application were initted in one Application.cfm there would a rather long delay when someone first visits the site. On the other hand, Phill Nacelli has created an object factory that looks pretty good. I was going to use it but he took a while to post an explanation about it on his blog and I had to continue developing my application so... maybe next time. He has since blogged about it here: http://www.phillnacelli.net/blog/index.cfm/2006/11/21/ObjectFactory-Explained HTH, Aaron ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
