Please elaborate how many ways are there to call a CFC function from a .cfm page?

Hi,

Could you please elaborate  how many ways are there to call a CFC function from a .cfm page?  And I have one more doubt. Can I create a cfc function without creating a cfcomponent? Thank you.

There are at least a few: cfobject and cfinvoke (and their cfscript equivalents), as well as the createObject function, and the new keyword.

As for your last question, you can certainly create a function in a cfm (without a CFC) using the cffunction tag or script function statement. That could be called from that cfm or any that included that file.

Thank you Charlie for replying. Can i create  functions alone in  a .cfc file without creating the cfcomponent?

[Charlie Arehart]

Well, a CFC *IS* a cf component. Your questions are implying you have in mind either some challenge or something clever that you're considering. Can you please elaborate?

No, I'm was thinking if I can create a cffuntion inside cfc file (without a cfcomponent). And one more doubt please. If I use cfinvoke to call a function in cfc and pass argumentCollection(#Form#) , how should I receive it in the cffunction? Should I create an cfargument for it inside the cffunction?
