90 Chapter 2: ColdFusion Tags
Usage
If you specify the extends attribute, the data and methods of the parent component are available
to CFC methods as if they were parts of the current component. If the managerCFC component
extends the employeeCFC component, and the employeeCFC component has a
getEmployeeName method, you can call this method using the managerCFC, as follows:
<cfinvoke component="managerCFC" method="getEmployeeName"
returnVariable="managerName" EmployeeID=#EmpID#>
This tag requires an end tag.
If you specify
style="document", ColdFusion MX publishes the CFC as a document-literal style
web service. For more information, see “Publishing document-literal style web services” in
Chapter 36, “Using Web Services” in ColdFusion MX Developer’s Guide.
porttypename Optional Specifies the name attribute of the porttype element in
the WSDL. If you don’t specify this attribute,
ColdFusion MX derives the value from the CFC class
name.
This attribute applies only when
style="document".
bindingname Optional Specifies the
binding attribute of the port element in
the WSDL. If you don’t specify this attribute,
ColdFusion MX derives the value from the CFC class
name.
This attribute applies only when
style="document".
wsdlfile Optional A properly formatted WSDL file to be used instead of
WSDL generated by ColdFusion MX.
This attribute applies only when
style="document".
displayname Optional A string to be displayed when using introspection to
show information about the CFC. The information
appears on the heading, following the component
name.
If the
style attribute is set to document,
ColdFusion MX uses the
displayname attribute as the
name attribute of the service element in the WSDL.
hint Optional Text to be displayed when using introspection to
show information about the CFC. The hint attribute
value appears below the component name heading.
This attribute can be useful for describing the purpose
of the parameter.
If the
style attribute is set to document,
ColdFusion MX uses the
hint attribute as the content
of the
documentation element of the service in the
WSDL.
