In retrospect I believe the cfinvoke tag will allow you to execute a method of
a CFC without invoking the CFC, so I take back what I said before about the
server scope CFC being the closest thing to static... Retain the method, and
use this to return the "public static final" variable:
<cfinvoke
component="my.component.path"
method="getStaticVar"
returnVariable="staticvar">
Yea, it's longer syntax... The price paid for being fastidious I guess... :)
OR
<cffunction name="invoke">
<cfargument name="component" required="true">
<cfargument name="method" type="string" required="true">
<cfargument name="argumentCollection"
type="struct" default="#structnew()#">
<cfset var rtn = "">
<cfinvoke
component="#component#"
method="#method#"
returnVariable="rtn"
argumentCollection="#argumentCollection#">
<cfreturn rtn>
</cffunction>
<cfset static = invoke("my.component.path","getStaticVar")>
