_____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of J MacKay Sent: 19 March 2007 20:17 To: [email protected] Subject: [CFCDEV] Newbie - Utility cfc's in application scope Hopefully someone can answer two newbie questions .. I've read a few blog entries about storing general utility components in the application scope so they can accessed anywhere within the application. <cfif NOT isDefined("application.Utilities")> <cflock scope="application" type="exclusive" timeout="10"> <cfif NOT isDefined("application.Utilities")> <cfset application.Utilities = createObject("component", "Utilities")> </cfif> </cflock> </cfif> <cflock ...> <cfset Request.Utilities = application.Utilities> </cflock> It makes sense to instantiate the component once and store it in the application scope, but 1) why copy it back into the Request scope ? So it will be available to custom tags? 2) Why is it necessary to use a lock when copying the component into the request scope? _____ No need to miss a message.
