Create or delete a CFC in Dreamweaver

1. Open a ColdFusion page in Dreamweaver.
2. In the Components panel (Window > Components), select CF Components from the pop‑up menu.
3. Click the Plus (+) button, and complete the Create Components dialog box, and click OK.
   1. In the Components section, enter the details about the component. Here is a partial list:

      Name

      Specifies the filename of the component. The name must contain only alphanumeric characters and underscores (_). Don’t specify the .cfc file extension when entering the name.

      Component Directory

      Specifies where the component is saved. Select the web application’s root folder (such as \Inetpub\wwwroot\myapp\) or any of its subfolders.

   2. To define one or more functions for the component, select Functions from the Section list, click the Plus (+) button, and enter the details of the new function.

      Ensure that you specify the type of the value returned by the function in the Return Type option.

      If you select remote from the Access menu, the function becomes available as a web service.
   3. To define one or more arguments for a function, select Arguments from the Section list, select the function from the pop‑up menu, click the Plus (+) button, and enter the details of the new argument on the right.
4. If you use a remote development server, upload the CFC file and any dependent files (such as those used to implement a function or include files) to the remote server.

   Uploading the files ensures that Dreamweaver features such as Live Data view and Preview In Browser work properly.

   Dreamweaver writes a CFC file and saves it in the folder you specified. The new component also appears in the Components panel (after clicking Refresh).

5. To remove a component, you must delete the CFC file manually from the server.
