Re: CFC is server scope and session calls to it...
Thanks all, that is what I figured just wanted to make sure my thinking was on the right path and a small part want to see if I could be a bit lazy lol. ~| CF 8 â Scorpio beta now available, easily build great internet experiences â Try it now on Labs http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs_adobecf8_beta Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:284277 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Lol I'm not sure what you mean exactly by passing session.user.ident explicitly, but I assume that you mean something like this: That would be strongly preferable to referencing the Session scope directly within your CFC instance, since doing so tightly couples your component to its caller.

Re: CFC is server scope and session calls to it...
Definitely I would either just pass the entire user object in or use a session facade to instantiate the user ubject from within the server scoped CFC. The primary reason I would choose one over the other would be that explicitly passing in the user object would allow you to potentially pass in ANY user object (logged in user or not), while using a session facade pretty much will tightly couple that server scope CFC to the logged in user and you will have to refactor to allow it to support other user objects. -Cameron Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX) wrote: > I would, if at all possible for designs sake pass in the session data as an > argument and to not use / explicitly reference the session scope within. > > -Original Message- > From: John Skrotzki > To: CF-Talk > Sent: Fri Jul 20 22:45:39 2007 > Subject: CFC is server scope and session calls to it... > > Hi!

Re: CFC is server scope and session calls to it...
I would, if at all possible for designs sake pass in the session data as an argument and to not use / explicitly reference the session scope within.
