Well you've run into the big problem with using ColdFusion and objects. The object instantiation speed in ColdFusion is unacceptably slow, when you get up into a large number of objects.
The best solution to this problem that I've found is the IBO (iterating business object). Essentially, rather than instantiating a large number of objects, you create a single object which has a struct of arrays to contain the query data. It takes a while to wrap your head around it, but it's well worth the effort. For more information do a search for Peter Bell ColdFusion IBO. He's the one that came up with the idea when he ran into the same problem. -- Josh -----Original Message----- From: Donnie Carvajal [mailto:donnie.carva...@transformyx.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 25, 2009 12:56 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Multiple Record Queries and CFCs I have been trying to write my applications using the 3 tiered method of development, presentation layer, business logic layer and data access layer. I am having trouble coming up with an efficient method of displaying information returned in a query that has multiple records. Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't all data be placed into an object based on a component so that the business logic can massage the data and return valid inforamtion based on business rules. If I am correct that that means that I should create an object for every record of the query before I display the data. Doing this slows down my web pages by 100-200% going from fractions of a second to around 20 seconds for a query that returns 100 records. All of the examples that I have come across on the web run the query in the data application layer and then in the presentation layer, loop over the query and output the data straight from the query (i.e. #qEmployees.firstName#). The problem I have with outputting the data straight from the query is that I will have to have business logic in 2 places. In the business logic component and the data access component. How are you (anyone who would like to reply) handling this scenario and keeping the integrity of the business logic? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:320964 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
