Brain blank apparently.

someData = cfinvoke(component="dotPathToService", method="someMethod", someArg="foo");

That throws the error "Variable CFINVOKE is undefined." CFDocs says cfinvoke has existed since cf6, it's documented by Adobe too. I most often use createObjectI) then call the methods I want on that object, but this is a one-off call, won't need the service again, so I thought this should do it, but I guess I'm missing something dumb. Or maybe that error is erroneous?

I think if you're passing in a single argument, it needs to be in curly braces following the cfinvoke statement - I put example 1 from the Adobe page into cfscript.me and it came out with this (apart from a comment about a lucee bug):

cfinvoke( returnVariable="res", method="getLastTradePrice", component="nasdaq.quote" ) {

cfinvokeargument( name="symbol", value="macr" );

}

Ugh, if that's the real syntax I'll pass, and use the createObject() version with a normal method call. Pfft. Thanks.

Why would you even start trying to use

cfinvoke

when you could just go

someData = new dotPathToService().someMethod(someArg="foo")

. Why add all the "generic tags in script" bloat?
