[thelist] CF: Keeping CFCs in application scope. Good or bad?

[Mark Mandel]

Frank,

There should be no major problems with putting your CFCs in the application
scope.  You can easily store thousands of them (depending on your ram
limits) in there without too much difficulty.

Be aware that when you put CFCs in the session scope, every unique session
will get a copy of those, so I would limit those to CFCs that represent your
session state, i.e. something like a User object, etc.

You may want to look at a dependency injection framework like ColdSpring (
http://www.coldspringframework.org/) to help you organise your CFCs as well.
