I've tried all the normal ways and it keeps telling me it can't find the component. Even hard coding the full path does not work. This should be clearly explained in the documents.

In other words, if you do not include it, the template will be blank in design view.

Try this:<br /><br /><cfobject component="VCPTemp.Components.Installation.cfc.Installation" name="myComponent"><br /><br /><cfinvoke component="#myComponent#" method="doLogon" returnVariable="logonId" userLogin="#FORM.txtUsername#" password="#FORM.pwdPassword#"><br /><br />The component attribute expects the name of a component or reference to a component instance. There's an implicit invocation of components using cfinvoke and a component name, so I highly recommend the syntx above as it instantiates the component using cfobject and then access a method of the component using cfinvoke - without re-instantiating. If you were to use more cfinvoke's on the page, you would still access the same component instance without taxing the CF server with additional instantiation.

The error is:<br /> Attribute validation error for tag CFINVOKE.<br />The tag requires the attribute(s): METHOD .<br /> <br />The error occurred in D:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\VCPTemp\Components\Installation\cfc\FormProcessing.cfm: line 156<br />Called from D:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\VCPTemp\Components\Installation\cfc\FormProcessing.cfm: line 150<br />Called from D:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\VCPTemp\Components\Installation\cfc\FormProcessing.cfm: line 1<br /><br />154 : <!--- DBLOGIC: doLogon - check the login data, and return -1 if incorrect... or userid if successful ---><br />155 : <cfinvoke component = "VCPTemp.Components.Installation.cfc.Installation" method = "doLogon" returnVariable="logonId"<br />156 : userLogin="#Form.txtUsername#"<br />157 : password="#Form.pwdPassword#" /><br />158 : <br /><br />But, as you can see the tag has the METHOD attribute. Using the alternative syntax involving <cfinvokeargument> tags produces the same error. How can I resolve this? davcamer 0 0 2005-08-30T11:35:15
