Calling functions between components in Coldfusion

Question

Say I have a project, I have several CFC's in that project. For the sake of the example, I have a debugging function general.cfc and I want to use that function in mandrill.cfc without having to copy and paste the code into the latter cfc. I've googled this until I can google no more and I know I need to post it here.

Anyone care to take me to school?

Answer 1

This is how I would do it

<cfset var objGeneral = createObject("component","general")>

Then if you have a function in general.cfc called getName() you can call it by saying objGeneral.getName()
