You can stop any particular application from accessing any particular custom tags path by denying them access with a sanbox. But if the application tries to use a custom tag that is in that path, you will get an access denied message. Coldfusion will always use the first instance of a custom tag it finds, it will first look in the local folder of the calling template, then it will look in the default custom tags path, then it will look in additional custom tag paths.
If you want to have multiple copies of the same tag on a server that can be called using the CF_MyTag syntax, then they need to have difference names or be in a different instance. You cannot have two sites running on the same instance of CF using the same cf_Customtag, but actually using two different versions of the tag file. The application will have to keep the tags locally, use CFMODULE or CFIMPORT to use it's own version of a tag and not the one in the custom tags folder. -- russ -----Original Message----- From: Troy Simpson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 October 2005 14:49 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Sandbox Security, CFC, and cftag Path.

Eventhough there may be 100 Custom Tag Paths defined in the Coldfusion Administrator for a ColdFusion Instance, an applicatation can be restricted to use only specific ones. Therefore, if Mach-II is installed in multiple places, the application will not find the other Mach-II installations. Is this correct?
