I'd like to know what's wrong with putting CFCs into the session scope too.
There are SOME CFCs that dont belong there, but i'd have thought there were some that DO belong there. For example I quite often collect information about the user and their session in a userbean.cfc. I'd have thought the session scope was the perfect place for that. On the other hand i often use a CFCFactory.cfc which instantiates CFCs as and when required. That belongs in the application scope I'd have thought. Whats wrong with putting CFCs in the session scope? The way you said it, Neil, it looked like you were saying CFCS should NEVER go into the session scope. Did you mean it that way?
