Hi Geoff, I have a SiteUser.cfc which is session scoped (the equivalent of your User object). In my e-commerce applications it has a composed Cart object and has methods for interacting with and exposing that cart. In my system, I persist carts in the DB between visits (running "garbage collection" on the DB based on business rules to kill old carts automatically). Because of this, SiteUser is aware of CartService which actually handles providing the correct cart to the SiteUser on session-start.
