Okay, thank you, I think I get it: the newer object is referred to by 'this'; I'm just breaking that reference, not replacing the new object.
Actually, I don't need to do a deep copy. I can just use 'instance' instead of the 'this' scope and then set this.instance = server.foo.instance. -----Original Message----- From: Sean A Corfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 15, 2003 12:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [CFCDev] CFC Persistance On Friday, Aug 15, 2003, at 11:09 US/Pacific, Brad Howerter wrote: > But it doesn't work when you try to replace an object with an older > cached > version.

Because all you're doing is setting the "this" reference to the older object - you're not updating the newer object with the data from the older object. What you need to do is a deep copy of the cached object - however that will be expensive. Almost certainly as expensive than initializing the object in the first place...
