i believe you'd need a <cfinvoke> for your init() method.
so you need to insert <cfinvoke> before the one you have listed.
<cfinvoke component="gateway" method="init" dsn="#application.dsn#" />
just out of curiousity...any reason you want <cfobject> over the
createObject() way? I'm sure when it all boils down you'll have 6 of
1, half-dozen of the other...but at the very least, the createObject()
allows the method chaining so it's easier to invoke the init() when
you first instantiate your CFC.
I've also read (I think Sean C. said it) that the method chaining
syntax is a little "tighter" as it prevents any race condition issues
that may arise (especially if you're creating your CFC into the
application scope).
