Create a mapping to that app's root directory. Generally, I use a common
prefix for all mappings in a particular site. I'll use the directory
structure below as the basis for my example:
/
/home
/home/model
/home/model/Listener.cfc
/home/model/User.cfc
/home/model/Util.cfc
/blog
/blog/model
/blog/model/Entry.cfc
/blog/model/Listener.cfc
/ext
/ext/machii
/ext/machii/framework
/ext/machii/framework/Event.cfc
/ext/machii/framework/Filter.cfc
/ext/machii/framework/Listener.cfc
/ext/cfc
/ext/cfc/util
/ext/cfc/util/Bean.cfc
/ext/cfc/util/Validator.cfc
/ext/cfc/util/Settings.cfc
/ext/cfc/data
/ext/cfc/data/DAO.cfc
/ext/cfc/data/UserDAO.cfc
/ext/cfc/data/BlogEntryDAO.cfc
There are two ways to create the mappings.
The first is to create one mapping for the entire site. In this case, I'll
use "example_1" as the prefix.
"/example_1" --> "/"
You would then end up with the following components:
example_1.home.model.Listener
example_1.home.model.User
example_1.home.model.Util
example_1.blog.model.Entry
example_1.blog.model.Listener
example_1.ext.machii.framework.Event
example_1.ext.machii.framework.Filter
example_1.ext.machii.framework.Listener
example_1.ext.cfc.util.Bean
example_1.ext.cfc.util.Validator
example_1.ext.cfc.util.Settings
example_1.ext.cfc.data.DAO
example_1.ext.cfc.data.UserDAO
example_1.ext.cfc.data.BlogEntryDAO
The upside to this is that all components in your site are available
anywhere else in the site. The downside is that if your directories have a
deep hierarchy, the package names can get rather long. This is where the
second method comes into play.
The second way of creating mappings for applications is to create a separate
mapping for each application. In this case, I'll use "example_2" as the
prefix.
"/example_2/home" --> "/home"
"/example_2/blog" --> "/blog"
"/example_2/machii" --> "/ext/machii"
"/example_2/util" --> "/ext/cfc/util"
"/example_2/dao --> "/ext/cfc/data"
You end up with the following components:
example_2.home.model.Listener
example_2.home.model.User
example_2.home.model.Util
example_2.blog.model.Entry
example_2.blog.model.Listener
example_2.machii.framework.Event
example_2.machii.framework.Filter
example_2.machii.framework.Listener
example_2.util.Bean
example_2.util.Validator
example_2.util.Settings
example_2.dao.DAO
example_2.dao.UserDAO
example_2.dao.BlogEntryDAO
What this gives you is more control over the naming of component packages
within the site, while still keeping them together under a common package
prefix. It helps when I have a directory of shared components that is
several levels below my site root since I can have a shorter path to get to
them (less typing). Also, if I decide that I want to place them someplace
else or rename the directory, all I have to is chage that one mapping to
point to the new directory. If I used a single mapping for the site, I
would have to change all the references in my code to the old directory name
and change them to the new one.
Earlier you asked about CrystalTech, and one of the great things about them
is that I can create all the mappings I want to through their handy-dandy
site admin application--I don't have call and submit a request for the site
admins to create the mappings (or change them on a whim).
