Isn't that kind of dumb? Everything I've thought about cfparam since I first learned of it was that it essentially was the same as doing an "if this doesn't exist, then set it to this default" without it actually evaluating the default if it wasn't necessary. My whole world view has been turned upside down. Thanks, though. I'll have to keep that mind in the future. > Does your sessionGateway's getById() method automatically assign > session.userBean or does it only return a value? Is it perhaps writing > over a value passed by reference instead of value? It returns a bean object. But, if the passed in value is 0 [as it is with the default in the cfparam], the bean gets init-ed and returned. The init is what's setting all the default values. (that init was one of the things that was changed as part of the rollout last week -- it was part of a process to try to help performance by only instantiating our CFCs once, instead of every time it was called.) For now, I guess I'll stick with my workaround. -- ----------------------------------------- Scott Brady http://www.scottbrady.net/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:305817 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
