Well... that's where I started. Same thing. And that's what led me to
simply try viewing the interface itself (not something I do normally).
So then I removed the web-inf mapping and tried this:
<cfset obj = createObject("component","component")>
<cfdump var="#obj#">
<cfset obj = createObject("component","web-inf.cftags.interface")>
<cfdump var="#interface#">
component was created fine, but for interface I got "could not
find....". if I add the mapping back, it finds "interface" but I get
a more reasonable error ("interface cannot extend itself").
Now... if I try creating "web-inf.cftags.component", it doesn't find
it without the mapping. So it's as if, under the hood, "component" is
special in that CF just knows about it, but that interface isn't so
special. I can't createobject on it directly without the web-inf
stuff. for example:
<cfset obj = createObject("component","component")>
<cfdump var="#obj#">
<cfset obj = createObject("component","interface")>
that will create component just fine, but i get "could not find..."
for the interface one.
Now, I only bring up all this malarky in an effort to figure out how
to get CF to recognize interface without the need for a mapping. As I
said, it's not that big a deal, it's just a setup/deployment problem
that I'd prefer not to contend with. In fact, probably the way I'll
deal with it is just put web-inf/cftags/interface.cfc into my webroot
at deployment, since that's just a once-and-done solution with ANT.
Still annoying, though.
