You can restrict the list of CFCs according to whether the functions in a CFC are remote,
public, or private.
A sample element of the list appears as follows:
The first line of the listing contains the path. The second line includes the name of the CFC.
The next two lines contain the names of the functions in the CFC. The function name is
followed by any argument, a colon, then the type of the return value. The listing
echo(echoString):STRING indicates that the
echo
function has an argument named
echoString
, and that it returns a string. The myCFC CFC appears as follows:
<cfcomponent>
<cffunction name="echo" output="No" returntype="string">
<cfargument name="echoString" required="Yes">
<cfreturn "echo: #arguments[1]#">
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="getArtists" returntype="query" hint="query the database
and return the results.">
<cfquery name="artists" datasource="cfcodeexplorer">
