I copied the component from the networked server to the calling server and created a mapping for it in the cfadministrator. I was then able to call the containing CFC using the standard <cfinvoke> syntax, and the second component (the one with the CF mapping) was executed properly. This also worked when the mapping referenced the networked server.
Calling the parent component (parent - for lack of a better word - the 2nd component is contained within this top level component) as a webservice, again resulted in a template not found error. Even with the component being local, but still using a mapping. I moved the component into the same directory as the webservice component, removed the mapping and referenced it directly. This worked! So, it looks like the CF Mapping directive/instructions are not available to web services. On this note, I have become reliant on referencing our component collection(s) with CF mappings. What is the other way to reference components? For example, how do I reference I component one directory up. Or how do I reference a component that needs to use a UNC path?
