I think the default web connector handles stuff a bit differently- And you say CF, but you mean JRun, right? The way I see it, and this is using apache for an example, but with the default web connector, you add a "handler" for the .cfm, .cfc, .jsp file types-- This means that if httpd sees a request for fun.htm, it serves it directly, but if it sees a request for fun.cfm, it lets JRun/CF "handle" it, and just returns whatever CF returns. Now, the reason I say black magic (earlier) is because if you don't use the jrun web connector, things work much the way explained above, where your CF files need to be below the CF application mapping (jrun/servers/instancename/). I'm using tomcat and jboss for one app, and the proxyPass directive as a "connector", and it works that way. But by default, with the jrun web connector, your CF files can be located anywhere you like, and I assume your cf instance could be located where ever you want (/cfusion, for instance :P), and the connector takes care of the details. But it is a bit confusing, since CF is an app server, which runs on an app server... And you can deploy CF apps in their own CF instances... And how it's all set up can vary... Yeah... And as for charting and reports...
