Yes, I've done unit testing on my model components and all came through
fine. But I'm doing some things like instantiating instances of some
components in the constructors of other components and then 'local scoping'
them within functions. For example:
<cfcomponent>
<!--- include a copy of the common cfc functions here --->
<cfset common = createobject("component","common")>
<cfset error = createobject("component","error")>
<cfset transferBean = createobject("component","transferBean")><!---
this is a cfc used for moving return values between cfc's --->
<cffunction name="myFunction">
<cfset var transfer = transferBean>
Function stuff...
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
So, I instantiate an instance of transferBean once in the constructor, then
I scope it locally within the function, saving subsequent instantiations of
it (so I think). Conceptually, I'm going for the 'a generic instance is
there in the cfc, just rip off a copy within the functions and go'. It has
worked awesome during my development, but it's a bit hard to see if its
meeting the requirements for thread safety. This is the first time I've
tried this, so I have no real world experience with its performance.
Still looking for some sort of approach or methodology that I can use to
test the thread safety.
Thanks,
Kevin
