ColdFusion not finding cfc's

Given the direction of the questioning here I copied and pasted my project folder to the TLG folder and all seems to work now.

My question now is why does the release build have a cfc folder with my cfc's in it if that is not going to be used? It's great that things are working now, but I am still confused by the process. I thought that the release build would transfer everything that it needed without me having to do an extra step of copying the project folder as well.

Thank you for guiding me. I'm not sure I would have figured this one out on my own.

I did my release build to another folder #web_root#/TLG and the cfc folder is under the TLG folder

#web_root#/TLG/cfc/ClientsGateway.cfc

And the file #web_root#/Darren21/src/cfc/ClientsGateway.cfc exists ?

Oh, but it is. Look. That's why this has me so confused.

<mx:RemoteObject id="clientFormRO" destination="ColdFusion"
source="Darren21.src.cfc.ClientsGateway">
<mx:method name="oneClient" result="oneClientHandler(event)"
fault="faultHandler(event)"/>
</mx:RemoteObject>

<mx:RemoteObject id="sro" destination="ColdFusion"
source="Darren21.src.cfc.ServiceGateway">
<mx:method name="getService" result="getServiceResult(event)"
fault="fault(event)"/>

Mostly like because that's where you told him to look: the cfc that is
called is configured by the src attribute of the RemoteObject mxml tag.

It's not a CF error, the path to the CFC is wrong in the mxml file (it's
not the correct path for the release build).

Below is the ClientsDAO (partial code) that shows the createObject section that you mention and the ClientsGateway (partial code)

I'm not sure what you mean by what is the calling code that's generating that error. The title of the error box is Server.Processing if that is what you mean.

When you go to the website it gives me the same error 4 times then changes to say it can't find SerivceGateway, then when you say OK, it gives the can't find ClientsGateway error once more. Hit OK and the website is shown, but the connection to the database doesn't work.

It'll be looking where the calling code tells it to. If it's looking in
ProjectFolder.src.cfc.ClientsGateway, it suggests you have this sort of
thing:

myObj = createObject("component", "ProjectFolder.src.cfc.ClientsGateway");

(or <cfobject>, <cfinvoke> or what-have-you).

What's the calling code that's generating that error?
