Hey Tom,
I almost exclusivley use the IIS virtual directory approach (and before
someone say's it insecure - *all* access is disabled to the virt. directory
in IIS - but that doesn't stop cf resolving it anyway)
why do i do this? - easy, try running side-by-side instances of the same
code (at various builds) on the same single cf instance server, without this
ability.
i can have three websites all with the mapping com.myorg, and all three
sites use ther own components, tags etc. cfxs have to be shared though,
howvever I dont use many of those, java classes loaded by the class loader
can be relative as well.
i use only the cfmodule syntax for custom tags, except for truly shared rock
solid utility functions which can be in a mapped custom tag directory. I
avoid cf mappings now when i can.
jrun-web.xml mappings work in webservices where cf mappings don't (havn't
tried II virt dirs) and this may have been resolved in the latest updater -
think it was.
BTW cold fusion seems to use the following order of priority when more than
one is in place
1. ColdFusion mapping
/mapping D:/somepath1/
2. jrun-web.xml mapping eg.
<virtual-mapping>
<resource-path>/mapping</resource-path>
<system-path>D:/somepath2/</system-path>
</virtual-mapping>
3. IIS Virtual Directory
/mapping D:/somepath3/

I stumbled across a scenario where I had a CFC file stored outside of
the web root and did not have a CF Mapping to the file location. The
only way to reference the CFC is via an IIS virtual directory. How can
that be? I am under the impression that the only way to reference a CFC
for invocation is through a CF Mapping or if the CFC is in the same
folder as the calling page, or if the CFC is in the custom tags folder.
I removed the IIS virtual directory and the invocation failed. =20

I have not failed. I've found 10,000 ways that won't work.
