CFINVOKE and createObject are very different beasts. CFOBJECT and
createObject are the same, but CFINVOKE creates and instance of the
CFC, calls the specified method on it, and then lets the instance
disappear, with no hope of holding on to it for future reuse.
Here's two examples of creating an object instance:
<cfset i = createObject("component", "test") />
<cfobject action="create" type="component" name="i" class="test" />
And here's two examples of calling a method on a CFC, without creating
an instance:
<cfset r = createObject("component", "test").testMethod() />
<cfinvoke component="test" method="testMethod" returnvariable="r" />
