(I'm
resurrecting a thread from 2003, sorry)
Hi.
So
ages ago a namesake of mine was asking about getting the CFC *path* from within
the CFC itself. Same-named people think alike (in my case it's nothing to
do with "great minds", anyhow(*)), so here I am asking the same
question...
Now, I
know that I can do this:
getMetadata(this).name;
That's
OK, but if the CFC was instantiated using just it's filename, then that's all
one gets back in that NAME property. I don't want to get what name the CFC
was instantiated with, I want to get its full dotted path:
"com.adam.rubbish.myComponent" or whatever (you know, as per the top of the API
docs one gets when browsing straight to the CFC).
It's been suggested to loop over the path value and do some
jiggery-pokery to contrive a dotted name, but... really... seems like a lot of
work for something that should "just be there"?
I'm
*guessing* there's a good (-ish) reason... probably something to do with CF
mappings or... something like that.
I
guess what I'm asking is whether someone's found a way to just pull this value
out by magic, or am I stuck with either not bothering, or looping over the path
[etc].
Cheers
for any thoughts.
