<cfcomponent> What it does The cfcomponent tag is an attempt by macromedia to approach the segmentation of ColdFusion in a way similiar to Obect Oriented Programming in a standard high level language. The cfcomponent tag can enclose one or more cffunction tags that can be called when the method is invoked. Like classes, one cfcomponent can extend another. A cfcomponent can be saved in a file with a .cfc extension to name the component for example a component in the file example.cfc could be extended by a new component.
