Per App Settings Example

Per App Settings in CF8 allows you to set 1.Mappings and 2.Custom tag paths on a per-application basis.

These settings override the server-side settings in the ColdFusion Administrator for the specified application only. Specifying per application settings does not change the server-wide settings.

To set per-application settings:

    1.First enable per-application settings on the Settings page of the ColdFusion Administrator. Go to Administrator -> Settings -> Click on Enable Per App Settings -> Submit.

    2. Set the mappings or custom tag paths in the Application.cfc file.

Here is a per application settings example.

The following will be the code in your Application.cfc file:

<cfset MyMappings = StructNew()>
<cfset MyMappings["/MyMap1"] = "C:\Temp\per_app_dir1">
<cfset This.mappings = MyMappings>

 

<cfset This.mappings["/MyMap2"] = "C:\Temp\per_app_dir2">

 

<cfset This.customtagpaths = "C:\Temp\my_custom_tags_dir">

<cfset This.mappings["/MyMap3"] = "C:\Temp\my_custom_tags_dir">

Here is how you use this in your code:

 

Run the following code in a test.cfm

<!---- per_app_test1.cfm is present under C:\Temp\per_app_dir1\ and you should be able to include it. ---->

<cfinclude template = "/MyMap1/per_app_test1.cfm">
<br>

 

<!---- per_app_test2.cfm is present under C:\Temp\per_app_dir2\ and you should be able to include it. ---->

<cfinclude template = "/MyMap2/per_app_test2.cfm">
<br>

 

<!---- mycustomtag.cfm is present under C:\Temp\my_custom_tags_dir\ and you should be able to use this custom tag. ---->

<cf_mycustomtag>
<br>

<!---- You can also use cfmodule like below ------>

<cfmodule template = "/MyMap3/mycustomtag.cfm">
<br>
