Are you a C programmer by any chance?
ColdFusion sits on top of Java, so you can't explicitly destroy objects.
Java takes care of destroying objects that are no longer in use based on
a complex algorithm that I think few people understand. If you need to
get rid of the instance data for an object, you can write a clear()
function to clear any instance data. However, with your example code,
it's not really necessary since the variable (in the var scope) x only
lives for the life of the function. So, the short answer to question one
is, you don't need to explicitly destroy objects after you've created them.
I think that your second question is a matter of personal preference. I
use createObject, but it's more of a personal preference than anything else.

Hi:
from my test.cfc I do have the following function.
<cfcomponent >
<cffunction name="fnhello" returntype="string" access="private">
<cfset var x="hi">
<cfreturn x>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent >
from my cfm, I called my test.cfc by doing the folloing code
<cfset o=createObject("component", "test")>
<cfset oFn=o.fnhello()>
Question number 1?
Once, I called or created an object named "o", Can I destroy the object by
doing so? or by other methods?
<cfset o=null>
Question number 2?
Would you used "cfinvoke" or cfobject/createObject to call your cfc?
thanks
Seng
