Problem:

cfinvoke against a persistent CFC fails with error message

"The component attribute in cfinvoke tag has invalid value."

Thread in prerelease forum at https://prerelease.adobe.com/project/forum/thread.html?cap=87529BDA13744B3DB718E841890B9240&forid={936680A8-3CD1-4D52-BCEE-9EF903D7FB02}&topid={796B0A53-C3A7-4223-A7F3-1D0150D4D36B} - thread confirms other people are seeing this behaviour too.

Removing the persistent attribute and the CFC is invoked ok.

CFinvoke is the only way to dynamically invoke CFC methods so it really needs to be fixed so that it works!


Method:

testcase:

index.cfm

<cfset myObject = createobject("component","mycfc")>

<cfinvoke component="#myObject#" method="myMethod" returnvariable="myReturnVar">

<cfdump var="#myReturnVar#">

mycfc.cfc

component persistent=true {
	public string function myMethod() {
		return 'foo';
	}
}


Result:

 The component attribute in cfinvoke tag has invalid value.
The component attribute can either be a string (component name) or a component object
 
The error occurred in C:\JRun4\servers\centaur\centaur-ear\cfusion-war\ormmanager\admin\testcases\cfinvoke\index.cfm: line 3
