It certainly couldn't hurt. I chose to do it the way I did because I wanted it to be completely self-contained and drop-in friendly regardless of the settings on the site/server it was deployed to. Making the structure permanent also encourages it to be used as the primary means of protection for a long period of time. It's designed as quick front-line protection until the application itself has been updated and protected from within. Putting the structure into an application variable would help speed up subsequent page loads, but the performance gain would probably be negligible. -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:321950 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
