Alan, Thanks for your reply. You're right, my question was a bit verbose. I'll try to be more brief now:
If I have a website configured in IIS or Apache that serves a files from a directory on disk, I can configure ColdFusion to handle all the cfm and cfc files for that website without having to place those CFM or CFC files directly underneath ColdFusion's installation. Can this be done with OpenBD? This seems to be a non-traditional approach for OpenBD, but I have a business requirement for doing this. To address your suggestion about symbolic links, I can't think of a way to make this work. First off, symbolic links in Window never seem to work quite right, in my opinion. But let's say I did this. Firstly, I'd have a bunch of these directories on disk: D:\Builds\40\ts\webapps D:\Builds\41\ts\webapps D:\Builds\...\ts\webapps Let's say that each of these directories had an index.cfm in it. I want to be able to serve the application from the webroot for the corresponding hostname. IH: http://40.openbd.ts.foo.com/index.cfm http://41.openbd.ts.foo.com/index.cfm http://....openbd.ts.foo.com/index.cfm So, if I setup a symbolic link under my OpenBD install, and assuming that OpenBD is the root application in Tomcat, I imagine I'd end up with a set of URLs like this, where openbd is the hostname that OpenBD is configured to listen for on port 8080. http://openbd:8080/40/index.cfm http://openbd:8080/41/index.cfm http://openbd:8080/.../index.cfm That extra build number in the URL will change how CFCs are resolved and presumably introduce other problems. The application expects to be served from the webroot. I'm really not quite sure how to proceed at the moment. Any feedback would be appreciated.
