I need to check weather a user is logged in so is it ok to check for the session scope within this cfc? like this <cfif structKeyExists(session,"userID")> <cfset var userID = session.userID> </cfif> or should I handle this check within another cfc that is invoked directly (by form post) and then pass the result onto the cfc in the application scope?
