No. What I mean is this: When you create a variable, in a CFC, in the
variables scope, it is available to all other methods of a CFC. So, take
this simple example
<cfcomponent>
<cfset variables.name = "Jedi">
<cffunction name="test">
<cfreturn variables.name>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
In this example, I create a variable, variables.name. Since it exists in
the variables scope, any method (in this case, test) can use it.
Now let's take a look at anther example using queries. Warning, part of
this is pseudo-code:
<cfcomponent>
<cffunction name="getCart">
<cfif not isDefined("variables.cartQuery")>
run a query. name is variables.cartQuery
</cfif>
<cfreturn variables.cartQuery>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
This component will only run the query once. However, the cfc itself
must be cached. For example:
<cfif not isDefined("session.cart")>
<cfset session.cart = createObject("component","cart")>
</cfif>
<cfset mycrap = session.cart.getCart()>
Does this help some?
