Creating Applications with Templates and Wizards  
 
 

The File > New dialog also contains a collection of helpful wizards for writing templates. To use wizards that require data sources, you must first establish a connection to a Cold Fusion server. Click the Remote Resource tab, right-click in the server pane, and add an RDS server. You can then double-click on a server name in the Server pane to connect the data source.

Click the CFML tab to select a wizard:

  • Custom Tag -- Builds a parameter-checking framework for creating custom tags in CFML.
  • Data Entry -- Creates a data entry application for a selected data source. Specify a table and the fields you want to include. The wizard generates an entry form and an application page that inserts the data when the form is submitted.
  • Data Drill-Down -- Produces an application that searches the selected data sources and returns results and detail pages.
  • Exception Handling -- Generates a TRY-CATCH framework in which you can enter code for a CFTRY tag. You can optionally enable handling of database, template, included missing files, object, security, application-defined, and unexpected internal failures.
  • Table to JS -- Generates a JavaScript object from the contents of a table in a registered ColdFusion data source.
  • LDAP -- Enter LDAP server information and directory entries to create an application to view and edit directories and to submit a directory view form.
  • Library -- Builds access to a file library for users.
  • Mailing List -- Builds an email application from the selected data source of email addresses.
  • Record Viewer -- Generates an application to manage, preview, and edit selected records in a table.
  • Tree control -- Produces a Java tree control from selected data sources.
  • Verity -- Builds an application based on selected search criteria to generate an indexed collection of the specified data sources. This wizard can be used in conjunction with the Library Wizard to index library files.
