Sophek, I wouldn't follow OOP practices verbatim or with religious zeal. Do what works best for your application. If you do it wrong, you'll learn from it and choose wiser next time. This way you'll learn to "see" OOP value.
The arguments scope is thread safe, as it is created per-method call. So you don't need to copy it into the var scope. As for performance, structs as passed by reference, not by value, so your performance might actually go up. But I hope your not worry about that part, as we are talking about nanoseconds here.

Thanks AHMED, I know in the OOP world, I should also have getters and setters, seems to me CF becoming something other than CF. thanks Sophek On 9/7/06, AHMED EL-RASHEEDY <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I have done this before and found no performance issues with it. The only short coming is if someone else would want to reuse your CFC or method and the struct and its keys are not documented. It would be a good idea to put in the hint or some comment for the cfargument to explain what is expected in the passed struct. Also, it is good idea to copy the struct to a var scoped struct in case you will change any of the values in the keys. Ahmed.
