Thanks to this list, Sean Corfield, Ben Forta, Hal Helms and the rest of the FB/CF community I'm starting to get my hands dirty using CFC's in my FB apps. I'm not sure if the problem below is due to my lack of understanding of CFC's or OO in general. Maybe you can help.
In my fb4.1 circuit file I have something like: <invoke class="member" methodcall="get(url.memberid)" returnVariable="myMember" /> Now, I know I can do: <instantiate class="member" object="aMember"> <invoke object="aMember" methodcall="get(url.memberid)" returnVariable="myMember" /> and this should accomplish the same thing. I also read BF's article on using CFC's where he says to initialize the CFC only once and then test to see if it was initalized on subsequent method calls. What I'm confused about is if I have to initialize the CFC for each user or only once for the 50 concurrent members I may have on my site at one time. That is, can I just use instantiate or cfobject in my fusebox.init file, create it once, and then do method calls to grab data for any user currently on the site or do I have to instantiate a member object for each user separately? I'm trying to avoid using the session scope. Right now each user has a two cookies with their id and login status which I use to mimic a session state. Would there be any difference in the way I should handle this if I was using the session scope?
