Re: [CFCDev] Basic CFC Design Question

[Matt Liotta]

Not to digress into arguably useless discussions, but the note below 
reminded me why I took such offense to people coming up with rules like 
"you must always lock shared variable scopes" in the pre-CFMX days. All 
those people who memorized that rule are now confused with CFMX because 
there is no rule. If people had taken the time to explain why locking 
needed to happen then people would be better prepared to handle the 
situation with CFMX, which of course now requires people understand 
when and where to lock.

gut
instinct is still to lock everything.  Without asking you to write a
tome, can you (or Sean or Matt or anyone who knows) boil it down to a
few bullet points or tips?  What needs to be locked and what can be 
left
unlocked, under what conditions?

Thanks,

Sorry for the late response on this, but I wanted to be sure
of one thing. Barney, you aren't saying that all uses of data
needs to be locked, right? I guess I'm asking you to define
"appropriately." Some people (based on life during the cf5
times) still say, "LOCK EVERYTHING OR DIE!", and certainly
that is not the case anymore. You can have instance data in a
persistant CFC that is NOT in danger of race conditions, and
of course would not need to be locked.
