Adobe ColdFusion 8

Using the ColdFusion component browser

You can also browse the components available in ColdFusion using the component browser, which is located at cf_root/wwwroot/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.

Note: When RDS user names are enabled, the component browser accepts the root administrator user (admin) with either the administrator or RDS single password.
