That was my first assumption and I put the CFC in my web root right next to the cfm file. But this cfm file calls a custom tag that builds my bask HTML page with the usual <html><head></head><body></body</html> and associated parameters of a good xHTML compliant web page. So I put the <cfajaxproxy...> tag in this custom tag.
I was confused by the 'relative' to the calling page this tag was expecting. Just putting the CFC name into the cfc parameter ended up with a 'Can not find CFC' error. Any combination I tried did not work. Putting the CFC next to the custom tag template in the 'custom_tags' directory worked for the <cfajaxproxy...> tag. It could find the CFC and generate the JavaScript logic, but it assumed this location was the web root, which it is not, and made the path accordingly. I stumbled upon a working combination by creating a 'Services' directory under my web root and putting 'Services.purDAO' into the cfc parameter of the <cfagaxproxy...> tag. This is now working properly and I am returning data to my user interface. I still do not understand the in's and out's of these settings. I would like to know more if anybody has a good under the hood type information source. I suspect that my original location would have worked if I had put 'edit/purDAO' into the cfc parameter, but the documentation was rather vague on what is a relative and what is a absolute path from what starting points. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:298122 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
