It's basically a global UDF library that stores no data. Is it ok to store this CFC in the SERVER scope rather than the application scope? Is using a named lock for this ok: <cflock name="ServerUtils" type="exclusive"> <cfset Server.Utils=createObject('Component','SystemUtils') /> </cflock> Cheers, Baz ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:232884 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
