That shouldn't be an issue since it won't be reading or writing to shared scope variables.
----- Original Message ---- From: JON SMITH <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2007 2:16:59 PM Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] application-scoped function Scenario question: Suppose I have a function called calcArea that takes in a length and a width and returns a calculated area (it does not change any variables; it simply returns a result). I am considering placing it in the application scope for ease of use and faster response time. I can find online that I need to lock any calls to an application variable to prevent race conditions; does that same logic hold true for an application-scoped function that simply returns a result as well? Will my application fail out if two different users try to call the application-scoped calcArea function at the same time without calling a cflock first? I realize one function like this could be easily placed in the Application.cfm, but if I were to create a full blown object with a few dozen calculation functions in it, I would think it would be faster to scope it than to recreate the object over and over. Any advice appreciated.
