You can on CF8. Otherwise you'll have to maintain two copies and adjust the
paths used by the applications accordingly. Though I don't really see why
you want to maintain a central set of files and at the same time not have
the changes applied everywhere. It sounds like you don't really want
If you have Coldfusion 8, you can create per-application mappings.
Otherwise, you can make sub-folders inside your mappings. For example,
I have a 'com' mapping. Then I make domain / company based subfolders,
so I can have:
Com.qualcomm
Com.pcMiler
Com.gainey
You get the idea =)

Absolutely you can have independant mappings. I would have 1 mapping for
components that should be shared between applications (in there own
directory on the server). Then have individual mappings per application to
a folder within the app root that has application specific components.

Hi Chris,
Can you explain what a com mapping is and how I can create it.
I am using CF 7.0.2
Also, how will the CF Applications know which mapping to go to?

I wouldn't be surprised if it is reserved in some sense.

I would expect so, since the Administrator is written in CF. What's the key

Excellent idea. We have a need for just such a solution - using
the same graphic elements on the secure and non-secure sides
of a site. A mapping would eliminate the need for duplicate copies
of the files.
This is what I use in all Application.cfm files. It allows you to create

Should have also mentioned...
With the code from the previous e-mail, I write file references like this
(they are all absolute, starting with the base web root or base ColdFusion
mapping - I never use relative links any more).
a href=#Request.Mappings.Webserver#somefolder/somefile.xxx
img
Mappings aren't required (though the two default mappings might be).
I just recently added a mapping for some error-handling code - it's nice to
be able to include the code from ANYWHERE and let it rely on the mapping t
o run. Otherwise, each code insertion would have to have the relative path
You CAN use them with cfinclude and cfmodule, but you don't have to. cfincl
ude and cfmodule work fine with relative paths or by running in the current
directory.
I've found they don't work well with absolute paths (in my experience they'
ll work sometimes but are not robust).

It can make some things easier. For instance, the webroot map will allow
you to locate files relative to the root, making it easier to use modular
code from different directories. You can also set up mappings to store
design elements, so if you ever want to change design you can change the
