If you have multiple functions in your cfm(even if you don't), put them in a cfc. Then you can use the following url pattern to invoke a specific method.

cfc named myEntityWS.cfc

  
    
    
      your code here
    
      
        #cfcatch.Detail#

        #cfcatch.Message#

        #cfcatch.tagcontext[1].line#:#cfcatch.tagcontext[1].template#
      
    
    
  

Javascript

$.get('myEntityWS.cfc?method=updateDescription&value=someValue');
