The LTO is basically a CFC based transfer structure with public properties. The LTO does not provide encapsulation since all variables can be publicly accessed. Basically, the LTO models a structure and provides a nice interface [it's the developer's responsibility to use the LTO as read-only].So when is it appropriate to use the 'this' ope rater when dealing with cfc's?It was always easy to figure out in java because it either worked or it didn't. Now with cf I'm finding myself writing inconsistent code because I don't have a good enough understanding of when you should and shouldn't use 'this'. Any suggestions about reading materials or just any general standards advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Best, .Peter -- Peter J.
