OOP new guy here, but I would say the benefits of having an INIT method even on small CFCs would be:
1. Get in the habit of having it 2. If you needed to have code in the INIT method in the future, all the calls to it would already be in place. My 2 cents. ......................

Always before I have called <cfset var SortMaster = CreateObject("Component", "CAMSymphony.model.util.SortMaster") /> Many of the framework and OO oriented CFC patterns that I have seen actually have a init() method and are created like this: <cfset var SortMaster = CreateObject("Component", "CAMSymphony.model.util.SortMaster").init() /> I understand the purpose in the frameworks for using this pattern, but in a simple cfc is there a purpose for this? Any advise would be great. - JS ------------------------------------------------ Joshua Scott Resonant Media Technologies, LLC. http://www.resonantmedia.com | http://ponderings.wordpress.com "It is impossible to get out of a problem by using the same type of thinking that it took to get into the problem." -- Albert Einstein ---------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to cfcdev.
