That should be:
init(datastore) {
variables.instance = structNew();
instance.prdData = arguments.datastore.getProductsCache();
}
It should also probably be done using cffunction so you can specify stuff
like returnType, hint, access, roles etc. if you ever need to, but that's a
bit of a contentious one with a lot of people and not really relevant to the
question you asked.
The Controller should probably get the datastore from a façade that handles
all access to the application scope, or it may itself be the façade.
The idea being that if you ever change how or even if you cache the
datastore that is the _only_ place you need to worry about making changes.
With your method, it is very possible to forget about one of the places
where the application scope is directly referenced. That leads to increased
maintenance overhead.
Having said that, creating a façade is an initial overhead so, as with most
things, it's a trade off that only you can fully evaluate.
