I know that when using J2EE session clustering, CFCs cannot be placed into the session scope since CFCs cannot currently be serialized. I'm curious to know if anyone knows if CFC serialization is on the horizon or not. If so, I am considering building a sessionFacade.cfc to "fake" a user CFC being stored in the session scope by passing memento data back and forth in the session scope.
It'll likely have some (unknown) impact on performance, but if I can do this it leaves my change point very small once serialization is introduced. I've attached a little sample of the userFacade.cfc in case I've been unclear on what I am doing. Does anyone have any comments? Has anyone tried this before? Is serialization on the horizon? Will Brenda and Dylan ever get back together again? -Cameron PS: We are using J2EE session clustering and I would prefer not to use sticky sessions. ----------------- Cameron Childress Sumo Consulting Inc. http://www.sumoc.com --- cell: 678.637.5072 aim: cameroncf email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <cfcomponent displayname="User Facade"> <cffunction name="init" access="public" returntype="userFacade"> <cfreturn this /> </cffunction> <cffunction name="getUser" access="public" returntype="user"> <cfscript> var user = createObject("component","user").init(); if (not hasUser()){ setUser(user); } user.setMemento(session.user); </cfscript> <cfreturn user /> </cffunction> <cffunction name="setUser" access="public" returntype="void"> <cfargument name="user" type="user" required="true" /> <cfset session.user = arguments.user.getMemento() > </cffunction> <cffunction name="resetUser" access="public" returntype="void"> <cfscript> var user = createObject("component","user").init(); setUser(user); </cfscript> </cffunction> <cffunction name="hasUser" access="private" returntype="boolean"> <cfreturn (isDefined("session.user")) /> </cffunction> </cfcomponent> ---------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to cfcdev.
