As a native function? Not that I'm aware of. I created this UDF a long
time ago to solve this exact issue, and it works like a charm. Feel
free to steal it.
<cffunction name="isInstanceOf" output="No" returntype="boolean"
hint="I check to see whether a given object is an instance of the
specified instance type.">
<cfargument name="obj" type="Any" required="Yes" hint="Any CFC
instance." />
<cfargument name="name" type="string" required="Yes" hint="The name
to check against." />
<cfreturn (not
compareNoCase(listLast(getMetaData(arguments.obj).name, "."),
arguments.name)) />
</cffunction>

Dave.
