Because it represents the package and the component instead of the directory and the file, i.e. it represents a logical hierarchy instead of a physical one. One might even say that you are not supposed to know something as mundane as a filesystem location (an implementation, let CF figure out where it is), and should just work with the exposed functionality (the interface).

Re: CFINVOKE - Component Location
In all my work with CF, I have always housed my CFCs in a dedicated root directory (typically named CFC), and I just set up the path alias in CF Admin, so that all I ever have to use in the component attribute of the tag is the actual name of the component: CF knows where to find them. I only use dot notation when I have developed a full-on component "package" (which I have done a lot of). For example, we have a package here called RevCore, which is a component tree contained within a mapped directory (as above), where the leaf nodes are up to 5 levels deep, and everything extends a parent component, all the way up to the root RevCore component. The individual components are then addressed as such: -Christopher >Why would CF begin to use dot notation for cfc's instead of sticking >with the familiar "../", etc, syntax? > >The dot notation has been a pain in my rear on more than one occasion. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:350987 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: CFINVOKE - Component Location
Continuing on that thought (hit [send] too soon)... On the other hand, *.cfm "templates" match up with a standard file, and therefore use the traditional web separator, the slash (/).

Re: CFINVOKE - Component Location
CFCs have used dot notation since Day 1 of their existence. The reason is because CFCs (loosely) represent classes, which are grouped in packages. In other languages, like Java - which CF runs on top of, those packages are always denoted in dot notation. For example: java.util.List java.net.InetAddress java.io.File HTH On Thu, May 3, 2012 at 12:38 PM, Rick Faircloth wrote: > > Just for clarification... > > Why would CF begin to use dot notation for cfc's instead of sticking > with the familiar "../", etc, syntax? > > The dot notation has been a pain in my rear on more than one occasion. > > Rick > > -Original Message- > From: Raymond Camden [mailto:raymondcam...@gmail.com] > Sent: Thursday, May 03, 2012 1:01 PM > To: cf-talk > Subject: Re: CFINVOKE - Component Location > > > On Thu, May 3, 2012 at 11:29 AM, Jenny Gavin-Wear > wrote: > > > > Then I tried running the cfinvoke as follows, but it appears I have some > > syntax wrong. > > > > > > No, you use "dot" notation for CFCs. > > Try > > > > -ray > > > > ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:350985 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
RE: CFINVOKE - Component Location
Just for clarification... Why would CF begin to use dot notation for cfc's instead of sticking with the familiar "../", etc, syntax? The dot notation has been a pain in my rear on more than one occasion.

RE: CFINVOKE - Component Location
Hi Ray, Thanks for your reply. Yes I could use a cfmapping, however I'm a bit confused as I thought the cfmappings were for accessing files outside the web root or its sub-directories. I read "By default, ColdFusion MX defines a mapping for the web root (/). You can define additional mappings to allow access to pages outside of the web root." So I don't understand why I can't use this default mapping- I realise I can't bit I also realise I need to understand why. I created a cfmapping pointing to a directory inside the webroot of the application called /gallerycomponents. Then I tried running the cfinvoke as follows, but it appears I have some syntax wrong. I read up in your book, CF 7 Construction Kit, that a mapping can be used when invoking the component, but there wasn't a syntax example using a mapping.
