Synopsis

<cfinvoke>
  [<cfinvokeargument>]

</cfinvoke>

Instantiates a ColdFusion Component (CFC) or SOAP-based web service, and/or invokes a method on an instantiated CFC or web service. Arguments can be passed to a component or web service’s invoked method via the attributecollection attribute, cfinvokeargument tag, or as an attribute of the cfinvoke tag. If more than one passed argument has the same name, ColdFusion uses the aforementioned order of precedence.
