Ok, I must be missing something here, but I specify my datasource in my Application.cfm file (in the request scope, framework was written in CF5 days) and I can reference it just fine in a cfc as #Request.Datasource#. Mike > well here is the reason why i ask > (raymond hasnt blogged about using

Mike, It can be referenced fine from within the CFC, but it's probably not a good idea. A CFC shouldn't "reach out" to external data, but instead be told what it needs to know. Doing otherwise breaks what's known as 'encapsulation' in the OOP world. Basically, it lowers the reusability of your

Joe that seems a good point. One that had slipped by me until now. is there a shorthand way to pass the datasaource name to CFCs or do you have to include the datasource name as one of the arguments every time you instantiate a CFC? Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia AFP Webworks http:/

Where applicable (on createObject/cfobject instead of cfinvoke), I make an init() method that sets a local variable for a dsn. Init methods look like: function init(dsn) { variables.dsn=arguments.dsn; return this; } then to instantiate the cfc, it's like this: myCFC = createObject("compo

Hey Mike, I'm with Dave W. - it should probably be the argument to a method. One thing a number of us have been doing (some people like it, some people don't) is adding a method called "init" that takes initialization parameters for a CFC and then returning the cfc itself. It acts sort of like a
