Besides the code being reusable, is there a specific reason why I
should use a CFC rather then a CFM file?
I mean, from what I understand about CFC's, they use the same
processing power as a file cfincluded. Am I incorrect in this? Is
there a compelling reason to use CFCs instead of normal code?
Just a quick thought: If, for example, you are building reusable,
singleton components (sorry for the OO buzzwords, but it is descriptive
terminology), then you can load those CFCs into Application scope and have
them exist in memory only once but still be used across all requests in the
Gotcha. Thanks. :)

That is a wonderfully expressive metaphor (and accurate to the example,
too!)

Peter,
I understand the singleton pattern. It's lovely, on a cloudy day or sipping
some tea or whatever, but in CF, don't you think that implementing the true
singleton pattern is overkill and generally unnecessary? Consider our lack
of true constructors, the stateless nature of the web, and
Thanks for the replies guys. I have currently the task of converting
over a straight forward web app to fusebox. The app already has allot
of repeat code and this isn't something that is going to be easy at
all.
One thing I have going on is that I have LOTS of cfcs. I mean, LOTS of
them (over
Hi Nathan,
Yes, this bit:
Or, are you just saying we throw the word around like candy at a parade and
should stop before we hit someone in the eye?
Though this one is not just the CF community - plenty of people all round don't
really know what Singletons (and even design patterns in general)

I think that one of the best uses of CFC's (and UDFs and custom tags) is to
abstract or hide a lot of code behind simple function calls or custom
tags so you can make changes in one place and have of in effect globally. Or

Phillip,
One of the things that CFC's can do is encapsulate repetitive code, you can
write a function one time and call it multiple times.
I personally like knowing what I actually send to a cfc. With an
