Coldfusion component not found problem
Posted on 2011-02-20
I am using version 9, IIS, and testing on my local machine. My virtual dir points at (local path) c:\inetpb\wwwroot\gpsv2\we
my cfm file is a the top level.
My cfc that I want to use is down two levels "store\app\login.cfc".
When I try an <cfinvoke component="web.store.app.l
I have also tried GPSV2.web.store.app.login and just store.app.login and I get the same component not found error.

I suggest you one way!
Application.cfc, Store your complete website path in Application CFC
just like thi!
<cfset Application.cfcPath = "web.store.app">
and then using this:
<cfinvoke component="#Application.cf
This is the way i use my CFC's no matter how often they are nested, it works flawlessly, but make sure that your folder path is correct

You need a web-root relative pathing, or a mapping-relative path.
Example of paths
YOUR CFC -> C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\web
TEST page here -> C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\web
Invoke your component like below
<cfinvoke component="web.projects.cf

You can also create mapping in CF ADMINISTRATOR for you components,
Server Settings > Mappings
Logical Path --> any name you want to give to remember components, say "components".
Directory Path -->c:\inetpb\wwwroot\gpsv2
Then you can invoke your component as
<cfinvoke component="/components.log

Then you can invoke your component as
<cfinvoke component="/components.log

use the CGI Scope from the debugging from where your path is actually coming from and then you can use the Path and add in the Application.CfcPath and then you can run your CFC, this way you can make it working
if you have have access to the CF Admin, then you can use the following <cfdump var to find the CGI Scope and check what is actual Path in there
and if you have acces to CFADMin the you can use the Mapping Functionality as said above by brijesh

cfc path's are always from the webroot down
so if your cfc is located here... "store\app\login.cfc"
and "store" is a folder in the ROOT of your website
then you should be able to access it using this
<cfinvoke component="store.app.login
But it sounds like you are using a virtual directory, which coldfusion doesn't see. So you want to setup a codlfusion mapping for "web" to "c:\inetpb\wwwroot\gpsv2\w
Then you can use the code as you "web.store.app.login"
My problem was that I had a <cfobject> tag that needed to be changed also. I did not look at the error message closely enough.
component="store.app.login
brijeshchauhan - your suggestion might mislead as you are suggesting a physical path.
myselfandhawa - thank you for the code organization tip.
component="store.app.login

No I am NOT, /components, is the LOGICAL path to ALL you components if you want to keep them at one place..
Then you can invoke all your components using this logical path which points to CFC's
<cfinvoke component="/components.log
<cfinvoke component="/components.com
anyways.. your issue is resolved which is what was required...

brij, I don't believe you can use the "/" in component="/componets
it would be just component="components....
The path always starts at the root, so there is no need either way
Yes, you can use.. try it out.. !!
I always keep my components at a place, then create a mapping to them in CF admin and invoke them, it is much shotter then calling store.app. .... you can just remember the mapping and use it..
I have been using the same way, just a personal preference..

The DOC says..
You need a web-root relative pathing, or a mapping-relative path.
There is nothing wrong in what I have suggested, but as I said, the user issue is resolved which is what is required...

I tested it, it seems that the slash / will work in the first position even though it's supposed to be dot notation
yes, it works because /components is the LOGICAL PATH in your CF ADMIN.. so you can always refer it with a slash...
I have my components in a dir path like /opt/commercecreators/appl
