Building an ADF Application

Guide to Creating a New ADF Application

The following steps are instructions for creating a new application in the ADF.

1. A 'Starter App' is provided in the '/ADF/apps/' directory. See the Starter Application wiki page for more details.
2. Copy this 'Starter App' directory into the apps directory and rename the folder to the name of your application.
3. Open the 'AppBeanConfig.cfm' file in your applications directory. See the App Bean Config wiki page for more details.
4. Update the 'appBeanName' variable with the name for your application and the comment header at the top of the file with your application name.

// App specific variables
appBeanName = "STARTER_APP";

1. Save the updated 'AppBeanConfig.cfm' file.
2. Reset the ADF for the server and site.
3. If no error messages appear, then your application is configured within the ADF.
