So I don't want to harp on this, but are you saying it is a bad idea to build a light weight solution? If I wasn't clear in the documentation, I will correct that, but I stand by my design decisions here as, again, it was meant to be quickly deployed for multiple small projects. > > As for using WDDX.

I think that a CFC, when it throws an exception, should use a particular format for the TYPE attribute. For example, if the CFC is called Foo, the type would be Foo, or Foo.SUBTYPE (ie, Foo.Authentication). By using the method, I enforce the syntax on the type value. That's it. I'm not sold on the technique, but it was the thinking I had. -Ray ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:138697 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
