You could also just create an instance variable that holds your UDF CFC in your init() function.
<cffunction name="init"> <cfset variables.udfObject = createObject( 'component', 'udf' ).init() /> <cfreturn this /> </cffunction> vs. <cffunction name="init"> <cfargument name="udfObject" type="udf" /> <cfset variables.udfObject = arguments.udfObject /> <cfreturn this /> </cffunction> The answer probably depends on whether you use the UDF CFC elsewhere. If you use it elsewhere, you may want to create it elsewhere and just pass a reference to your session CFC. If you only use it in the session CFC, you might want to initialize it within the session CFC's constructor. Either way, your session CFC would then have a data member that holds a reference to an instance of your UDF CFC. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of Jim Davis > Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2004 12:24 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [CFCDev] Function Libraries > > You might instantiate the CFC into the Application scope.
