Usage
When the
cfobject
tag creates an instance of the CFC, ColdFusion executes any constructor
code in the CFC; that is, it runs code that is not in the method definitions.
On UNIX systems, ColdFusion searches first for a file with a name that matches the specified
component name, but is all lower case. If it does not find the file, it looks for a file name that
matches the component name exactly, with the identical character casing.
Example
<!--- separate instantiation and method invocation; permits multiple
invocations --->
<cfobject
name="quoteService"
component="nasdaq.quote">
<cfinvoke
component="#quoteService#"
method="getLastTradePrice"
symbol="macr"
returnVariable="res">
<cfoutput>#res#</cfoutput><br>
<cfinvoke
component="#quoteService#"
method="getLastTradePrice"
symbol="mot"
returnVariable="res">
<cfoutput>#res#</cfoutput>
Attribute
Req/Opt Default Description
name
Required
String; name for the instantiated component. The name must not
