All of my database processing is done through CFCs. Basically, I have an action.cfm page where I invoke a series of CFCs and call specific functions of those CFCs. I tried wrapping <cftransaction> around function calls in my action.cfm page thinking it would roll back any changes made in the called CFCs. But that is not the case.
If I moved the <cftransaction> down inside of CFC, then that does me no good because it has no control over subsequent CFC calls. So, from my perspective, cftransaction is useless.

The CFTRANSACTION tag only affects database interaction using the same database connection. It doesn't affect what happens with CF code, specifically. So, unless your CFC invocations and method calls do nothing but database interaction, CFTRANSACTION will not roll their changes back. In addition, there have been some known issues with using CFTRANSACTION to roll back database changes made using CFCs. I don't know if they've all been resolved. I would generally recommend that you perform transactional logic within the database rather than within CF if possible.
