Using the ColdFusion component browser

You can also browse the components available in ColdFusion using the component browser, which is located at [webroot]\CFIDE\componentutils\componentdoc.cfm.

The browser has three panes:

• The upper left pane lists all CFC packages that ColdFusion can access, and has "all components" and "refresh" links.
• The lower left pane lists CFC component names. When the browser first appears, or when you click the all components link in the upper pane, the lower pane lists all available components. If you click a package name in the upper left pane, the lower pane lists only the components in the package.
• The right pane initially lists the paths of all components. When you click a component name in the lower left pane, the right pane shows the ColdFusion introspection page, as described in Requesting a component page from the browser.

Note: To access the component browser using a web server virtual directory, the /CFIDE virtual directory must be mapped to the same physical location in the web server and on the Mappings page in the ColdFusion MX Administrator.
