i cant fathom a reason not to. its probably just a prerogative choice for a developer to make.
but then again...im sure someone will come up with a reason, albeit obscure, there might be one :) cheers... oh, and my wife...loves when im working...she talks, i nod and sometimes she quizzes me on the details...im about 95% winning percentage on the short term memory skills test ;) later -----Original Message----- From: Mike Kear [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 25, 2003 11:24 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Logging users in with CFC Tony, to be honest, I'm not sure. It's just that I haven't seen any examples of CFCs being used for that functionality, so I wondered why. It seems that one of the ways to collect all the functionality related to users is to have a users.cfc where you'd have a method called login, one called listusers, one called updateprofile, one called emailpassword etc, and then all the database access, and action related to user access is in the one place. This is what's advocated in other applications about CFCs, but I haven't seen login, authentication, updating last login date, number of logins etc - all that user access stuff - gathered into a CFC. So I wondered if that was because people have always done it without CFCs and therefore old habits are at play, or whether there was a logical reason not to include this stuff in CFCs, that I wasn't seeing. (Believe me there's a LOT about my world that I don't see. Just ask my wife!)
