There was a thread not long ago about storing them in the application scope. It sounded reasonable but I havent tried it so I can't elaborate on any performance issues it might cause or clear up. You should be able to find the thread in the archives.

Bobby Hartsfield http://acoderslife.com -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Duckworth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 06, 2005 5:54 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: cfscript Common Functions and Best Practices Currently we have many functions that we use within cfscript. We are storing them in the request scope (see 2 examples below). Here is what I am don't like about this approach: Every page hit from every user is loading these common functions. I personally am not convinced that the request scope is the best place for these types of functions. I'm sure that many of you out there use functions of your own and from www.cflib.org. Is the server scope a better place for these? Should we only reload the functions if they are not already defined in the server scope? Thanks, Ryan <cffunction name="abort" output="false" returnType="void"> <cfabort> </cffunction> <cffunction name="sleep" access="public" returntype="void" output="No"> <cfargument name="milliseconds" type="numeric" required="No" default="1000"> <cfset createObject('java','java.lang.Thread').sleep(arguments.milliseconds)> </cffunction> <cfscript> request.abort = abort; request.sleep = sleep; </cfscript> Call from within cfscript tag: request.sleep(3000); request.abort(); ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
