tracker issue : CF-3042464

Problem:

[ANeff] 

Bug for: cfc bind expression format requires access="remote". 

Please note the following:- 
CF9.0.1 added CF Ajax support for CFCs outside the webroot
CF9 added onCFCRequest(), which allows access="public" methods to be accessed remotely

However, currently there is a bug which hinders the combination of the above 2 features. 

The bug is related to this bind format: "cfc:componentPath.functionName(parameters)", when used in HTML cfgrid's bind & onChange attributes.

Currently, CF throws a CFCFunctionNotRemoteException, if functionName refers to a method that is not access="remote". However, no error is thrown when using "url:URL?parameters" format, and pointing to same CFC and passing same parameters.

Fixing this bug will allow CF Ajax to support access="public" (or access="private") when using onMissingMethod methods in CFCs above webroot.
Method:

Please note that the 1st grid works (uses url bind format), while the 2nd grid throws error (uses cf bind format). Both reference the same CFC, are handled by onCFCRequest(), and pass the same parameters.
