The tag-based invocations should be in there, too.

Adding the query="#yourQueryName#" attribute to cf_DisplayList will bypass
DatabaseBlocks.cfc in favor of the query object referenced, which can be
supplied from anywhere, like a call to the component invocation or
GetQueryStub().

If you want to bypass DatabaseBlocks.cfc for add, edit, and delete forms,
just modify your action pages such that you keep the ValidateForm and
ValidateInput custom tag calls, but replace the InsertRecord, UpdateRecord,
or DeleteRecord custom tags and their associated child tags with the
invocation call to your stored procedure.

In addition to this instruction, I have just added an extra tutorial to Plum
Help that teaches developers how to retrofit Plum applications to use stored
procedures.

Do you see what your input gets you?  We really want Plum to be what the
ColdFusion developer community wants in a RAD tool, so we'll respond quickly
to what we can and plan to tackle we immediately can't.
