I think the question can be made a bit more broad - what is better: 1) <cfinvoke component="test" method="x"> or 2) <cfset x = createObject("component","test")> <cfset y = test.foo()> In general my feelings are that if you are going to do anything more than call one method, you should use #2. It should be quicker (since you have the object already), but more than that, it's handier to have the object around I would think. Of course, since CFCs have been out for just a little while now, what I think makes sense now will probably change by next Tuesday. ;) ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Macromedia Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 10:08 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Opinion: CFC / Request scope question. > > > So, I'm pretty familiar with CFCs and getting it to work, > etc. I learned > that you can actually store a function within the variable > scope (in fact, > I learned that when you create a UDF, it's actually placed in > the variable > scope).
