You'll be fine. In fact, you may be better off creating the objects once and storing them in session scope - otherwise you'll be relying on much heavier garbage collection to reuse all the memory you create on each request! > Also, I was thinking about attending CFUNITED in the DC area this summer > (in which case I'll buy you guys a beer or five!) but was hesitant to > because of what seems to be a lack of CFC sessions in the topics area. > I was delighted to see numerous topics on Fusebox, FLIP and design > patterns in general though. Your thoughts? Should I wait until the > "official" CF conference by Macromedia? CFUNITED is *the* CF event and it's by developers, for developers. MAX is great too but if your budget is for one conference and you're focused on Fusebox / CFCs, then I think you'll get more value out of CFUNITED. I think there are some sessions that will suit your CFC needs: Glenda Vigoreaux - Leveraging Web Services with ColdFusion Hal Helms - Creating a Domain Model Simon Horwith - Design Patterns and CFML You will probably also enjoy these talks that touch on CFCs: Jeff Tapper - Using Event Gateways with CFMX7 Sean Corfield - Frameworks: Mach II or Fusebox 4.1? I'm sure several others will also have CFC-related code in them - I'll bet the speakers are so used to people using CFCs these days that they just don't mention them in their talk blurb! And of course there's the Fusebox and FLiP stuff too. You might also consider some of the pre-conference classes where you'll get a lot of good CFC exposure: http://www.cfunited.com/classes.cfm Designing and Developing OO Applications with CFCs - Hal Helms - Monday or Roll Your Own API - Maximizing Code ReUse with CFCs and Custom Tags - Simon Horwith - Monday "Forms and Beans" applying simple OO principles to standard CF forms methodology - Joe Rinehart - Tuesday -- Sean A Corfield -- http://corfield.org/ Team Fusebox -- http://fusebox.org/ Got Gmail? -- I have 50, yes 50, invites to give away!
