As a matter of fact, this question is straight out of a BrainBench test and right now I don't have the choices. It seemed that the choices were very similar and I guess the answer is 'using dot notation starting from the cold fusion server root'. The part that throws me for a loop is the one, 'when called by tags or functions'. I mean, I've used CFC's a bit but always from a cfm file and never had to invoke them using a tag or function. I may be over-thinking this thing. The article you provided was great but nothing that I did not know. When I get the choices I'll post them so you can let me know what you think.
