Yeah, sorry -- should have been more clear. As others have pointed
out, you can simply create an instance into a local variable and then
use that variable in the cfinvoke tag. Why would you do that? I guess
just preference (I use cfscript/cfobject everywhere, so this isn't
personal experience -- just pointing out that you could do it this
way).
