Actually, you usually DO pass in server, application, session, and client variables into a CFC. Part of encapsulation is isolation from the environment. What if I switch from client to session variables? Do I really want to have to go change every CFC?
Same with your form CFCs. Chances are good they'll never be used for anything except form processing, but what if you need to expose a bit of functionality with a web service? Suddenly no more FORM scope. Oof. If you plan ahead and make your CFC just accept a struct parameter (which you can pass the FORM scope as), then you can just pass in your arguments from your web service method invocation, and not have to change anything. cheers, barneyb On Mon, 17 Jan 2005 18:07:50 -0500, Michael Dinowitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This is where I disagree with the whole OO approach and what people consider > no nos.
