If you're going to end up instantiating this component anyway (which based on that construct, it seems you'd do) why not do the caching outside the component?
Also, can you explain why the this = server.foo would be necessary in that case? Once you are in the component, why are you wanting to replace itself with an old instance of itself? > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Behalf Of Brad Howerter > Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 12:37 PM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: [CFCDev] Caching a CFC > > > I'd like to have a CFC put itself in cache, and then replace itself with > that cached object whenever it is created. > > Is that possible?
