Actually, this is quite a bit easier that I thought. This function
will output the names of all the variables (I think) that reference your
component, given a scope. I got the idea for inserting a UUID from
looking at cfcUnit, so I gotta give credit there. Of course, it will
need to be in your component.
<cffunction name="getTheNameOfTheVariableThatContainsMe" output="true">
<cfargument name="variablesScope" required="true">
<cfset this.testkey = createUUID()>
<cfloop list="#structkeylist(variablesScope)#" index="name">
<cfif isStruct(variablesScope[name]) and
structKeyExists(variablesScope[name],"testKey") and
variablesScope[name].testKey eq this.testKey>
#name#,
</cfif>
</cfloop>
<cfset structDelete(this,"testKey")>
</cffunction>

Hi
Quick question. If you store an object in a variable like this:
<cfset myObject = createObject("component","testObject").init()>
Is it possible to interrogate some method or metadata associated with
testObject in order to find out what variable name it has been stored within
(myObject in this case)?
Thanks for your help,
Ed
