[jQuery] Re: Coldfusion: using $.get() to directly call a CFC living outside of the webroot

[Josh Nathanson]

Andy, Ben Nadel has some information about calling CFCs outside the webroot, 
without a mapping, on his blog.  It may be of help to you.  I think there is 
still some mediation that happens but I don't think you have to use a 
middle-man file.

  Subject: [jQuery] Coldfusion: using $.get() to directly call a CFC living 
outside of the webroot


  Right now m JS looks like this:

  $.get("psychic.cfm", {method:idArr[0],key:idArr[1]}, function(data){
      //do some stuff
  });

  psychic.cfm contains the following code:
  <cfset VARIABLES.ps = CreateObject("component","includes.salesman")>
  <cfparam name="URL.method" default="">
  <cfparam name="URL.key" default="">
  <cfset func = VARIABLES.ps[URL.method]>
  <cfoutput>#func(URL.key)#</cfoutput>

  It's the only way that I can think of to call a CFC outside of my webroot. I 
don't like having to do this as it requires a middle-man page. The upside is 
that it works flawlessly.

  I do have a mapping to the CFC directory (not the one above):
  apps.cfcs.theCFCinQuestion

  Is there any way to call against that CFC directly instead of having to use a 
middle page?
