Also, be very careful because if you have serialized versions of CFCs in the database and then you change the actual code for the CFC (add a method, etc.), you are going to have major problems because your application code will be out of synch with the serialized CFCs. Which means if you add a method and then deserialize the CFC, at best any code in your app that uses the new method will blow up when it hits your out-of-synch deserialized CFC, and at worst it might not even deserialize at all.
