If I call a component with a fully qualified name as follows, how would ColdFusion locate the component? CreateObject(component, com.companyname.myApp.myComponent); I would presume that ColdFusion would search for the component in the following order: 1. Locate a mapping for /com 1a. If found

Thanks to everyone. Here is one more question. If I call a component without fully qualifing it, what would be the expected outcome. For example, if I call a component like this: CreateObject(component, myComponent); And NOT like this: CreateObject(component, myCFC.myComponent); How will

When people talk about the webroot, what are they referring to? Are they referring to the WebServer's web root, like in the case of IIS it might be C:\iis\wwwroot\ Or would this be another location unique to the ColdFusion Application Servers? Our ColdFusion Application Servers are configured

I don't think you have to define a mapping for them to workif none defined then the default of install drive\CFMX install dir\wwwroot is the default (which was in 6 for suremay have changed in 7). That said...what you posted has nothing to do with custom tag path settings in CF Admin

You don't. It's just another way to reference them. I'm not sure what the benefit would be over a mapping, but you can safely ignore that feature if you can use mappings. In reality, I can't think of a good reason to ever use custom tag paths. I don't think a server I control has anything

Assuming that my coldfusion components and include files are outside the web root and the mapping root (/), how would mappings and custom tag paths be searched for? I know that cfinclude used the mappings to find an included file. What order are the mapping referenced? Are mappings referenced
