Re: Invoking component
The only real advantage that I'm aware of is that CFINVOKE allows you to dynamically specify the target component and method. I use it when I need that capability, but otherwise I find it too verbose. On 10/10/07, Bruce Sorge [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: OK, so I see that there are at least three ways to invoke a component.

RE: Invoking component
Cfinvoke _generally_ is only used when you want a single call against an object. If you want to store that object in memory then it's common to use CreateObject() with either a cfset or a cfscript call. Those last two are equivalent. -Original Message- From: Bruce Sorge [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2007 10:49 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Invoking component OK, so I see that there are at least three ways to invoke a component.

RE: Invoking component
Using the CFINVOKE tag, CFSET and wrapped in CFSCRIPT. So what is the best method? They are all equally good. Or are there different situations where you would use one or the other? Yes, although you could simply use one in all cases if you really wanted to. If you're creating objects, you'll probably want to use CreateObject; if you're just invoking a method without explicitly instantiating an object first, you might prefer using CFINVOKE.

Re: Invoking component
Use CFINVOKE to invoke static UDF in a CFC, without CreateObject? Henry Using the CFINVOKE tag, CFSET and wrapped in CFSCRIPT. So what is the best method? They are all equally good. Or are there different situations where you would use one or the other? Yes, although you could simply use one in all cases if you really wanted to. If you're creating objects, you'll probably want to use CreateObject; if you're just invoking a method without explicitly instantiating an object first, you might prefer using CFINVOKE.
