Hi Michael, There are a couple of issues with copying my persistent variable to the request scope.
First of all, in this particular case, the main reason for persisting the object is purely performance. Its an object that gets extremely often and persisting it saves a lot of milliseconds. So copying it on every request would defeat the whole purpose of persisting it. Secondly, it's not so easy to clone CFCs. You would need to write a custom function that again would be killer to performance. Thanks for the suggestion anyhow, Baz -----Original Message----- From: Michael Traher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 11:42 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CFCs, TAGs, Locking maybe you could make a copy of your object in the request scope onRequestStart and then work with request.OrderObj On 1/18/06, Baz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Let's say you have a display TAG called DisplayOrder.cfm that accepts as > an > argument OrderObj.cfc.
