Well - I think I've figured it out...
The situation is this:
The folder "c:\CFC\cfc_DepressedPress" contains various core files and
libraries. There is a ColdFusion mapping, "cfc_DepressedPress", but no IIS
mapping to this folder.
The folder "c:\CFC\cfc_CPU" contains the service files and some support
files for them. There is a both ColdFusion mapping, "cfc_CPU". There is
also an IIS mapping to this folder but this is called "Services".
Note that last bit.
In this configuration the line:
<cfset variables.Broker = CreateObject("Component",
"cfc_CPU.DB_Test.ReferenceData_Broker") />
Caused an error when called in a WebService saying that
"cfc_CPU.DB_Test.ReferenceData_Broker" is an unknown data type.
However if I either add an IIS mapping to "cfc_CPU" or change the "Services"
mapping to be "cfc_CPU" everything works.
For some reason the IIS mapping matters here - although I can't for the life
of me see why.
But anyway... that seems to be the reason.
