sorry I meant
<cfset server.myVar = createObject("component","foo")/>
<cfset server.myVar.thing = handleToSomething>
<cfset server.myVar.startupip = "192.168.1.11">
<cfset server.myVar.init()/>

I'm curious. Can anyone explain to me why createObject() isn't enough to
instantiate the object? I mean, why it is that <cfset server.myVar.init()/>
would even be required here? It seems to me like the init() could just as
well be an assumed part of a constructor for the object/cfc/etc... And
better still because it would be less code and less prone to screw-ups that
way.
