|
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 lower case. If it does not find the file, it looks for a file name that matches the component name exactly, with the identical character casing.
