After working with CFCs these are my notes
CFCs invoked as webservices ignore "Coldfusion mappings" configured via the
admin. This is a known issue. (Odly any application.cfm available and
processed prior to the instantiation of the webservice happily uses cf
mappings as per usual)
if your webservice needs to reference other CFCs (or any other code like a
custom tag via cfmodule, or code via cfinclude) which are outside the web
accessible directory structure thus normally requiring a mapping you *must*
add the mappings to the jrun-web.xml file ( or create a virtual directory in
the webserver like IIS see further below).
<virtual-mapping>
<resource-path>/mapping</resource-path>
<system-path>C:/mapped dir path</system-path>
</virtual-mapping>
(I add one of these for each cf mapping i make)
Be aware the "resource-path" matching is case sensitive unlike anything
else, so after the above addition (and cf service restart)
<cfobject name="myObject" component="mapping.myComponent"> will work
<cfinclude template="mapping/myCode.cfm"> will work
<cfobject name="myObject" component="Mapping.myComponent"> will NOT work
<cfinclude template="Mapping/myCode.cfm"> will NOT work
often people don't notice these issues because their CFCs are in the web
accessible directory structure, just like their images and so their
component paths resolve easily
if you are unable to change the xml config file you can also make a virtual
directory called "mapping" (in the case of the above example) and point it
at the CFC(or code) directory. If you feel unhappy doing that, the virtual
directory can have no READ permissions and the mapping will still be
determined correctly (only tested in IIS). It doesn't need the url access
just a way of resolving the mappings.
Changes to webservices which involve a change of the wsdl (ie added
functions, changed parameters(arguments) ) are often not immediately
visible.
The following bit of undocumented magic will clear the cached info (CF admin
shows the list under webservices). I use this at the start of any code
testing the WS during development.
<cfobject action="CREATE" type="JAVA"
class="coldfusion.server.ServiceFactory" name="factory">
<cfset xmlRpc = factory.getXMLRPCService()>
<cfset services = xmlRpc.mappings>
<cfloop item="service" collection="#services#">
<cfset xmlRpc.unregisterWebService(service)>
</cfloop>
Hope this helps you guys starting with webservices.

Hi Ray,
I just set up my machine to test this.
I'm not having any problems at all...
My URL is:
http://mydomain/webservices/helloworld.cfc
My test script is:
http://mydomain/webservices/invoker.cfm
My Directory structure is:
C:\sites\dev\mysite\www
I am using Apache 2.048 and I have about 15 virtual hosts.
The website I tested it on is not the default host.
I don't seem to need the jrun-web mapping either.
I'm suspicious about your file path having '.' in it.
I remember having issues with that in the past, but I can't remember exactly
what they were.
Spike

Shoot, I renamed the root folder. I removed my jrun alias to kinda restore
me back to my original state. Now I'm back to the class not found error.

Well crap. So I tried it on another machine that has a fresh install of MX
6.1 and it works ok. I guess the next thing to do is uninstall/reinstall on
the original machine to see if it works.
