Having spent this morning looking at ColdSpring and AOP, I take the liberty to write an alternative to your initial reply. Hopefully my intitial objections will be clear (the use of the words 'hack' and 'correctly').
New response: David, you can do 1 of 3 (or more) things: 1. Create a mapping using the ColdFusion server administrator. Use that to reference the component. 2. [Link to Ben's post] This works, though is very limited in scope. It's benefit is in portability in that it does not require any further server setup to work. 3. Use ColdSpring to manage your components. Even if you are unfamiliar with the concepts, with very little work you can have it just invoking components for you in very little time. You will then be in the position to utilise all of its goodness as your knowledge expands.
