External Components

Hi, I have an application that uses CFC's extensively. I have one function
that puts user info into a database and then redirects them to a page. Before
redirecting them, though, I have another CFC that scores my database that I
want to run. Currently, the system is setup for that scoring CFC to run daily
as a scheduled task. I also want to be able to have it run when new user info
comes in. Do I use CFINVOKE for that, before I redirect, or some other
mechanism? Thanks.

If I understood correctly, you are trying to execute, from one component, a
function in another component. if so, you can do a regular <cfinvoke
component='SCORE_CFC' method='SCORE_FUNCTION'> from the function that inserts
the user info. or you can also extend the component. and just call the
function as if it was inside the same component <cfcomponent
extends='SCORE_CFC'> this is the CFC with the functions to insert the user info
<cffunction name='INSERT_USER_INFO'> your code <cfinvoke
method='SCORE_FUNCTION'></cfinvoke> </cffunction> </cfcomponent>

Thanks.

I tried the first approach and it seems to work. I think I had tried that in the past and it didn't work - probably related to some mistake I made.
