ColdFusion
When you use UltraDev 4 ColdFusion, Dreamweaver relies on a ColdFusion include file to get a list of data sources.
Note: For regular Dreamweaver ColdFusion, Dreamweaver ignores any include files and, instead, makes use of RDS to
retrieve the list of data sources from ColdFusion.
The UltraDev 4 ColdFusion include file should be named MyConnection1.cfm, where MyConnection1 is the name of
your connection. The following example shows the include file for a ColdFusion connection to a product table:
The server behavior file includes this connection by using the cfinclude statement, as shown in the following
example:
The definition file for your connection type
For each server model, there is a connection_includefile.edml file that defines the connection type and maps the
properties that are defined in the include file to elements in the Dreamweaver interface.
Dreamweaver provides default definition files, one for each of the predefined server models, as listed in the following
table.
Dreamweaver uses the quickSearch and searchPattern parameters to recognize connection blocks and the
insertText parameter to create connection blocks. For more information on EDML tags and attributes, and regular
expression search patterns, see “Server Behaviors” in Extending Dreamweaver.
