Using ColdFusion components

Introspection: getting information about components
ColdFusion provides several ways to get information about components:
•
Requesting a component page from the browser
•
Using the ColdFusion component browser
•
Using the Dreamweaver component browser
•
Using the
GetMetaData
function
Development teams can use the descriptions as up-to-date API reference information.
Note:
For information about how to include documentation in CFCs for display using introspection,
see
“Documenting CFCs” on page 240
.
Requesting a component page from the browser
When you access a CFC directly with a web browser without specifying a component method,
the following chain of events occurs:
1
The request is redirected to CFCExplorer.cfc, which is located in the
[webroot]\CFIDE\componentutils directory.
2
The CFCExplorer component prompts users for the ColdFusion RDS or Administrator
password, if necessary.
3
The CFCExplorer renders an HTML description and returns it to the browser.
The resulting display looks like the following example:
tests.cfcs.arithCFC
Component arithCFC (Arithmetic Functions)
