I've done this and have no complaints thus far. The CFC's I cached were all
data layer components as well. The only tip I that seems important enough
to share is that you should code in a way that lets you ignore the cache or
even rebuild it so things are more convenient during development. I did a
this:
<cfset bUseappcache= 1>
<cfif not isdefined("APPLICATION.CFC")>
<cfset APPLICATION.CFC=StructNew()>
</cfif>
<cfif (NOT bUseappcache) OR (StructIsEmpty(APPLICATION.CFC)) OR
(isDefined("URL.killCFC"))>
<!--- Put the components into memory --->
<cfobject component="Components.ResourceLocator.category"
name="APPLICATION.cfc.category">
<cfobject component="Components.ResourceLocator.feedback"
name="APPLICATION.cfc.feedback">
..... <!--- lot's more components --->
</cfif>
During development bUseappcacheis 0 so that changes made to the components
show up immediately. In production bUseappcache is 1.
