Nope. Just like the error says, you need a constant value for the returntype. Variables are not allowed.

Here is a small chunk of code: <cffunction name="getDatasource" access="public" output="false" returntype="sagp.datasource"> <cfreturn variables.datasource /> </cffunction> In the "returntype", I would like to reference a variable instead of hardcode the component reference. So, I would like to end up with this: <cffunction name="getDatasource" access="public" output="false" returntype="#application.components#.datasource"> <cfreturn variables.datasource /> </cffunction> I get an error of "This expression must have a constant value." Is this possible? I would appreciate any help!
