Thanks for you reply!! I think I have been doing things wrong... I have been using my service layer (myServiceObject.cfc) for Purely SQL...
I have an order component/class that contains methods such as getGross getVat getOrderref etc However... the logic for building up my order object is quite complex (lots of coniditionals and getting various other sets of data) Since you would suggest that this business logic should go in the service layer... Where would I put my SQL methods.... would they also go in the service layer? If so would it be best to have them in seperate files (abstracted out form the other business logic) Just trying to get an idea on file structue eg OrderListener.cfc - contains the getOrder method which takes in event varaibles then calls the service OrderService.cfc - Performs all the business logic and builds up the order object ??????.cfc - Contains the SQL methods for getting data related to an order from the database. Hope my questions make sense and thanks in again for your first response.
