title: How does Coldfusion's createObject() function search for an component?
body: <p>I'm having some problems understanding the <code>createObject()</code> function, which the documentation says is used like <code>CreateObject("component", component-name)</code>.</p>
  
  <p>In the documentation, it is mentioned that Coldfusion searches for the component in "Directories specified on the Custom Tag Paths page of ColdFusion Administrator"</p>
  
  <p>But it is not working in my case. I have a folder mapped in CF admin for custom tags, inside that folder I am placing a folder named "mycfcs" where my cfc is present named <code>Item.cfc</code></p>
  
  <p>In the test page, I am creating the object in this way:</p>
  
  <p><code>&lt;cfset testObj = createobject("component","mycfcs.Item")&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>But it is throwing an error "<strong>Could not find the ColdFusion component or interface</strong>".</p>
