If you look in your web.xml file (on a Mulit-server install it's "<cfroot>/ servers\instance_name\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\WEB-INF\web.xml" you will see the following servlet mapping:
<servlet-mapping id="coldfusion_mapping_14"> <servlet-name>CFFileServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/CFFileServlet/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> The url pattern tells JRUN that any request that comes through that looks like www.your-server.com/CFFileServlet/* will be handled by the CFFileServlet. Elsewhere in your web.xml is the following: <servlet> <servlet-name>CFFileServlet</servlet-name> <display-name>Serves files for cfpresentation,cfreport,captcha etc</display-name> <servlet-class>coldfusion.bootstrap.BootstrapServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>servlet.class</param-name> <param-value>coldfusion.util.CFFileServlet</param-value> </init-param> </servlet> This defines what Class is used to process that request. My assumption is the file is probably stored in memory and then spit out with the appropriate content type header when your browser asks for the image. That might be more info that you cared to know, but I thought that was pretty dang cool once I realized how ColdFusion processes your requests... especially requests for non-existent folders. ~Brad > If so, after the image is displayed in the web browser, by > viewing the properties of the image, it is shown as: > /CFFileServlet/_cf_image/_cfimg[xxxxxx] > That URL pattern doesn't point to an actual physical filesystem location. That said, I don't know if there's a file being written somewhere or not. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:307417 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
