Yeah Ray, I meant that this point is brought up regularly on this list and explained away without any talk about inheritence and it might lead one to believe that ONLY a Jedi instance is applicable. I have chatted with you so I thought you could point this out as you now have. Now if you would have explained how to allow multiple unrelated CFCs to be returned you would have come full circle to returnType="component" from Mr. Gibbs example... ;-)

Consider: A Dog is a Poodle. Not all dogs are poodles. If you set returnType="dog" and return a poodle, it's ok. If you set returnType="poddle" and return a dog, CF will throw an error. In your specific example, it will work fine since all JediMasters and Jedi Apprentices are Jedis. I blogged about this as well. ======================================================================== === Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Mindseye, Inc (www.mindseye.com) Member of Team Macromedia (http://www.macromedia.com/go/teammacromedia) Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Blog : www.camdenfamily.com/morpheus/blog Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brendan O'Hara > Sent: Monday, September 22, 2003 2:17 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [CFCDev] Storing Objects in App Scope > > > > Ray, > > What about inheritence? > > Say you have a JediMaster CFC and a JediApprentice CFC which > inherit from the parent Jedi CFC.
