Jason,
You can post directly to a function from within a CFC if you specify
'access="remote"' in the function tag (then set your form to post to
"mycfc.cfc?method=postMyData"), but for many reasons, in most cases,
it's better to call the function from within your .cfm. Something
like this:
<!--- If we're posting our form --->
<cfif isDefined('FORM.submit')>
<!--- Create our Component Instance and Post the Data --->
<cfset dataposted = createObject("component","cfc.mycfc").postMyData
(FORM)/>
</cfif>
As you can see, you can accomplish all of your actions within a few
lines of code in your template. Here's a good article from Ben
Forta on the subject: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/
articles/intro_cfcs.html
I also suggest reading the chapter on Coldfusion Components
thoroughly in your CF WACK book.
