And just to clarify, here is an example of the type of error that may pop up:

Error Occurred While Processing Request
The value returned from function init() is not of type
ModelGlue.Core.XMLModelGlueLoader.
If the component name is specified as a return type, the reason for this
error might be that a definition file for such component cannot be found or
is not accessible.

Now the crazy thing is that if I were to go into that init() method and dump what it is returning, it IS of type ModelGlue.Core.XMLModelGlueLoader! That's the problem. Again, clearing the template cache solved the problem in that case.

No, the error happens on a fairly random basis (I think I've seen it happen 3 or 4 times on different machines) so there is no way for me to create a reproducable case. I know though from reading the Model-Glue and Reactor lists that other people are also seeing this on occasion. I'm running CFMX 7.0.1 with the latest hotfixes (basically it is fully up to date).

I am thinking it is a mapping/path problem in resolving the CFC types. Changing the type to "any" for that method will avoid the error for that method, but then another method will give the same error becuase the problem spans beyond a single method. Also I can't just go through, say, the entire Model-Glue or Reactor framework CFCs and change all of the return types to "any".

As I said, manually clearing the template cache DOES seem to solve the problem, but I'm more interested in understanding why it may be happening and whether there is a way to avoid it in the first place. Like I said, clearing the cache on my local machine is fine, but if this happens on a production machine there are many more hoops to jump through.

Thanks,

Brian

Can you put together a simple example of what you are talking about
and get the error?  also what version of cf are you using?

Are you thinking its a mapping or path to cfc problem?  sometimes it
can be a little difficult to figure that out.  Does changing the
return type to "any" help?
