If you use a cfinvoke or cfobject tag, or the CreateObject function to access the CFC from a CFML page, ColdFusion searches directories in the following order:
1. Local directory of the calling CFML page 2. Directories specified on the ColdFusion Mappings page of the ColdFusion MX Administrator 3. Web root 4. Directories specified on Custom Tag Paths page of the Administrator So no relative paths allowed. http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/buildi12.htm On Fri, 29 Oct 2004 00:13:41 -0400, bryan. rice <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi All, > > I know this is a simple question, but I can't seem to get it working: > > I have a CFC, hosted at MediaTemple, that lives at > http://www.twoedge.net/clients/tpg/seavestinc/webservices/com/ > seavestinc/property_explorer.cfc > > When I call methods on it from Flash I use the service name > "clients.tpg.seavestinc.webservices.com.seavestinc.property_explorer" > and it works fine. > > Now I have a .cfm document that lives in a different directory from > which I want to invoke a method of my cfc.
