Scott,
There are two answers to your question. You can call methods in other
CFCs in two ways. The first way is through Inheritance, take the
following example:
<cfcomponent displayname="ObjectA">
<cffunction name="aFunction">
<cfreturn "A" />
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
<cfcomponent displayname="ObjectB" extends="ObjectA">
<cffunction name="bFunction">
<cfreturn "B" />
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
Based on this example you could call ObjectB.aFunction() and it would
return "A".
The other method for this is through composition. A quick example of
how this would work is:
<cfcomponent displayname="ObjectB">
<cfset variables.objectA = createObject('component',
'ObjectA').init() />
<cffunction name="bFunction">
<cfreturn "B" />
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="aFunction">
<cfreturn variables.objectA.aFunction() />
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
In this example, Object B contains a copy of Object A and when
ObjectB.aFunction() is called, it simply passes that call on to its copy
of objectA.
