Oh, ok, so CFINVOKE is overkill. Got it.
I do have the components created in application.cfc ie. <cfset
Application.dns = CreateObject("component", "admin.cfc.dns") />
So where I have
<cfinvoke component="admin.cfc.dns" method="dnsParseURL"
returnvariable="dnsParseURL" url="#cgi.server_name#"/>
What would I do in it's place? The idea is to pass an argument named
'url' to the method, and return a structure containing several
variables generated by stripping down the url. (domain, subfolder,
etc)
Should I set the variable name to what I set as returnvariable? Will
this new variable be the structure that the function produces?
<cfinvoke component="admin.cfc.dns" method="dnsParseURL"
returnvariable="dnsParseURL" url="#cgi.server_name#"/>
vs.
<cfset dnsParseURL = Application.myCFC.dnsLookup(cgi.server_name) />
