"This whole thing about trying to replace an object with some cached version is the unnecessary complexity. If your plantSet is meant to be a Web Service, it should be stateless - have no instance data - and simply manage the cached data (in server scope, for example). No "this" scope stuff, no "variables" / unnamed scope stuff - stateless CFCs don't need that."
Just a as a follow-up to make sure I understand. If I have a bunch of service-type methods in either the application or server scope, how do I ensure that any services they perform (such as data retrieval) don't keep a lot of unwanted data hanging around when it won't be used again?
