Hi. This is probably a code issue but reading the web isn't finding me the answer.
I found a neat cfc online I wanted to use. I have only used a cfc with CFGRID, where it has a "bind" attribute, so I didn't know how to call it. After awhile of reading I concluded I should be using "CFINVOKE" for this and finally worked out a simple call to the CFC.
I have a simple form which asks for a word or phrase. It submits (form post cfform) to a tempate which sets a variable of "myidea" (string).
In that template, it then calls the cfc, like so:
<cfinvoke
component="cf_googleImages.cfc"
method="getImage"
returnVariable="myImage"
Search_Criteria="#variables.myidea#"
>
|
The CFC file is sitting IN THE SAME DIRECTORY with this little CFM template. But it's not finding it! Gah! It's driving me mad!
So I made the component filename include a full path from the root of the server (C:\...) and that doesn't work either. So I made a URL-style path from root (http://...) and that doesn't work either. So I went back to just being the filename in the same directory and it still doesn't find it. The error I get is:
Could not find the ColdFusion Component or Interface cf_googleImages.cfc.
Ensure that the name is correct and that the component or interface exists.
The error occurred in C:\{path\filename}: line 27
25 : method="getImage"
26 : returnVariable="myImage"
27 : Search_Criteria="#variables.myidea#"
28 : >

Maybe I shouldn't use CFINVOKE? Maybe I'm supposed to be adding some kind of BIND parameter to my actual form text field, or submit or something -- is that possible to do this kind of thing that way?? Maybe there is something special I need to do related to the cfc?
I would hugely appreciate any help. Man it drives me nuts when some stupid little stuff just stops me in my tracks!
Best,
Palyne
