Using the ColdFusion component browser
You can also browse the components available in ColdFusion using the component browser,
which is located at [webroot]\CFIDE\componentutils\componentdoc.cfm.
The browser has three panes:
•
The upper left pane lists all CFC packages that ColdFusion can access, and has “all
components” and “refresh” links.
•
The lower left pane lists CFC component names. When the browser first appears, or when you
click the all components link in the upper pane, the lower pane lists all available components.
If you click a package name in the upper left pane, the lower pane lists only the components in
the package.
•
The right pane initially lists the paths of all components. When you click a component name
in the lower left pane, the right pane shows the ColdFusion introspection page, as described in
“Requesting a component page from the browser” on page 233 .
Note: To access the component browser using a web server virtual directory, the /CFIDE virtual
directory must be mapped to the same physical location in the web server and on the Mappings page
in the ColdFusion MX Administrator.
Using Dreamweaver
The Dreamweaver Components panel shows an expanding tree listing of all available
components, including their methods, method parameters, and properties. The panel’s context
menu includes options to create a new component, edit the selected component, insert code to
invoke the component, or show detailed information on the component or component element.
The Get description option shows the ColdFusion introspection page, as described in
“Requesting a component page from the browser” on page 233 . For more information on viewing
and editing CFCs in Dreamweaver, see the Dreamweaver documentation.
