Adobe ColdFusion 8

Using introspection to get information about components

ColdFusion provides several ways for you to get information about components:

  • Request a component page from the browser
  • Use the ColdFusion component browser
  • Use the Adobe® Dreamweaver® Components panel
  • Use the GetMetaData function

Development teams can use the information about components as up-to-date API reference information.
