Mark,
That may be true, and I do not have enough OO experience to answer if this is a
good method or not. But I am trying to use CFC's as a common, reusable action
for forms. The documentation says that if you have a form that calls the cfc
in it's action attribute and has a hidden field that names the method to call,
that is what will be used to process the form.
<form action="myFormAction.cfc....>
<input type="hidden" name="method" value="theMethod"...>
This actually sends the browser to the CFC; to go someplace afterwards, one has
to have a <cflocation...> in the method. This particular use of a CFC does not
utilize <cfreturn aValue>. So, if one wants to have access to any data created
in the cfc, it needs to be stored in a persistent location.
This seems to work just as expected if the CFC in question is in the directory
structure of the website. But, if it is indirectly in the directory sturcture
vis-a-vie a virtural directory, the behaviour changes.
I would guess this my be a more procedural way to use CFC's, but that should be
alright. My question is, is there some logical reason I'm not aware of that
there is a difference if the Action.CFC file is in the website directly or
indirectly?
