CFCs can go in 3 places: Webroot (and under web root) CF mappings folders Custom tag paths
Where you put them depends on how you want to use them. If you plan on using Flash Remoting (or using the CFC as a web service), you need to put it under the webroot. p.s. You can also build a CFC to handle remote calls that works as a 'broker' for your CFCs not under webroot. I believe SCorfield has an article about that on macromedia.com. ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Mindseye, Inc Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW : www.camdenfamily.com/morpheus Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda > -----Original Message----- > From: Andy Ousterhout [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 6:17 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: CFCs - property access best practices > > > Where do I put my CFC files so that CF finds them?
