Problem with bind in a CFSELECT

Question

I am trying to get a CFSELECT to populate using bind. If I use:

<CFSELECT bind="http://www.myDomain.com/CFC/file.cfc?method=getSizes({materialColor})">

</CFSELECT>

my bind works... somewhat.

But if I use:

<CFSELECT bind="cfc:myCFC.file.getSizes({materialColor})">

</CFSELECT>

I get:

"The specified CFC myCFC.file could not be found. The path to the CFC must be specified as a full path, or as a relative path from the current template, without the use of mappings."

The Coldfusion exception log says the same. myCFC is setup as a mapping to the D:/wwwroot/CFC directory in Coldfusion Administrator. I've tried putting the .cfc file in the same directory as the .cfm that calls it but I get the same error. It seems no matter where I put it and tell Coldfusion to look for it, unless I use http: I get that error.

I've tried using the cfdebug parameter on the page after enabling debugging in Administrator but it doesn't seem to do anything.

I'm using Coldfusion 9 Developer with Apache 2.2.14 and PHP 5.2.11.

Thanks for the help.

What you describe should work. I only have doubts about D:/wwwroot/CFC.

I successfully tested with something like this:

1) Component: c:\Coldfusion9\wwwroot\CFC\file.cfc

2) In the mappings page Administrator

Logical path: /myCFC

Directory path: c:\Coldfusion9\wwwroot\CFC

3) <CFSELECT bind="cfc:myCFC.file.getSizes({materialColor})">

</CFSELECT

<CFSELECT bind="http://www.myDomain.com/CFC/file.cfc?method=getSizes({materialColor})">

<CFSELECT bind="cfc:myCFC.file.getSizes({materialColor})">
