RE: Mappings vs. Custom Tag Paths
What is the difference between Mappings and Custom Tag Paths. They seem to be the same thing. Mappings are used by CFINCLUDE and CFMODULE. Custom tag paths allow you to reference foo.cfm using CF_FOO.

Re: Mappings vs. Custom Tag Paths
Beuller? ;) A mapping is analogous to a symbolic link--it lets you tell CF to use a directory located somewhere on your hard drive as a directory in your web server's hierarchy, even if the directory isn't actually located in the hierarchy.It contains pages that can be viewed by the user (web visitor). A Custom Tag Path is just a location where CF will look whenever you invoke a custom tag.It's usually not part of the web server's hierarchy, and can't be viewed by the user. - Jeff On 24 Feb 2004 at 18:03, Troy Simpson wrote: Anyone know the answer the this trivia question?

RE: Mappings vs. Custom Tag Paths
I'm not much of a mappings user, but I'm quite sure that web visitors can't view tempaltes in a mapping.They can if you create a mapping in Jrun (/WEB-INF/jrun-web.xml), but not in CF.I believe custom tag paths are also used for CFC invocation, but again, I'm not sure.

RE: Mappings vs. Custom Tag Paths
Not to view templates as in their code, but post-process.I.e., if there's a plain HTML file in a mapped directory, it would be viewable by a visitor. I don't know about custom tag paths for CFC invocation--might be an interesting experiment. - Jeff On 24 Feb 2004 at 16:11, Barney Boisvert wrote: I'm not much of a mappings user, but I'm quite sure that web visitors can't view tempaltes in a mapping.They can if you create a mapping in Jrun (/WEB-INF/jrun-web.xml), but not in CF.I believe custom tag paths are also used for CFC invocation, but again, I'm not sure.

RE: Mappings vs. Custom Tag Paths
Yep. Just pulled my head out of a session with a colleague regarding development mappings (Studio/HomeSite), and brought it over here.Too many mappings. - Jeff On 24 Feb 2004 at 19:24, Dave Watts wrote: A mapping is analogous to a symbolic link--it lets you tell CF to use a directory located somewhere on your hard drive as a directory in your web server's hierarchy, even if the directory isn't actually located in the hierarchy.It contains pages that can be viewed by the user (web visitor).

Re: Mappings vs. Custom Tag Paths
That might explain one of my earlier post some time ago.Here is my earlier post with Subject: ColdFusion Administrator Not secured!!It seems to be a common problem. --- I have installed ColdFusion MX with the bundled webserver and restricted the bundled webserver to run only on 127.0.0.1.I only want to administer the ColdFusionAS from the console. Next I installed Apache2 and configured it to work with ColdFusion. Everything works fine except that I am able to get to the ColdFusion Administrator pages with the Apache website. When I type in the following URL: http://www.company.com/CFIDE/administrator/ I get HTTP 404 - File not found. But when I type in the following URL with the index.cfm template on the end: http://www.company.com/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm I am given the ColdFusion Administrator Login page with no graphic images.After longing into the ColdFusion Administrator I am given the Administrator pages with no graphic images. I suspect that this might have something to do with the Mappings in the ColdFusion Administrator.I am unable to delete the Logical Path /CFIDE in the Mappings section in order to test this out. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? -- Thanks, Troy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Beuller? ;) A mapping is analogous to a symbolic link--it lets you tell CF to use a directory located somewhere on your hard drive as a directory in your web server's hierarchy, even if the directory isn't actually located in the hierarchy.It contains pages that can be viewed by the user (web visitor).

I don't think it has anything to do with mappings. Mappings don't allow you to access CF pages via a browser, they only allow you to do so from within your code. I think, instead, that there's something embedded within CF that automatically treats that URL pattern a certain way, even if the URL pattern doesn't actually correspond to a directory accessible through the web server. There are ways to defeat this, which I'm too busy to go into in depth now; I'd be happy to do this later, however.
