| Usage
When the cfobject tag creates an instance of the CFC, ColdFusion executes any constructor code in the CFC; that is, it runs code that is not in the method definitions. On UNIX systems, ColdFusion searches first for a file with a name that matches the specified component name, but is all lowercase. If it does not find the file, it looks for a filename that matches the component name exactly, with the identical character casing. |

Example<!--- Separate instantiation and method invocation; permits multiple invocations. ---> <cfobject name="quoteService" component="nasdaq.quote"> <cfinvoke component="#quoteService#" method="getLastTradePrice" symbol="macr" returnVariable="res"> <cfoutput>#res#</cfoutput><br> <cfinvoke component="#quoteService#" method="getLastTradePrice" symbol="mot" returnVariable="res"> <cfoutput>#res#</cfoutput> |
