Right, and that's the rub... I do a lot of code audits these days and I see this cropping up over and over again: too many developers can't resist the "convenience" of accessing other service's data via the shared scope facade instead of going about it the "right" way. So I push hard to eliminate the temptation in order to break them of their bad habits :) > OK, I'm sold. ;-) Cool! > Still, if you could comment on your approach to dealing with the session > scope in your services I'd be interested. Do you use a direct reference to > the session scope? Or some other approach? In general, I isolate it into one private method that has a direct reference to session scope. The exact mechanism depends on what the cached object is and how it is initialized. For mock testing, just extend that service CFC and override that one method. That one method is often responsible for creating the cached object on-demand so the extended mock can double up as both a mock for the cache access and a way to substitute the creation of the cached object.
