Site Configuration (ADF.cfc)

Overview

A key part of the configuration of the ADF for your site is the ADF.cfc located in your sites /_cs_apps/ directory (e.g. /mySite/_cs_apps/ADF.cfc).

This ADF component file is used to build an ADF object factory into application space for the site. The ADF component contains three distinct operations:

1. Load the ADF into the site.
2. Load ADF applications into the site.
3. Load the ADF library components into the site.

Site Components

This initialized call builds the application.ADF object factory. This function will load any site components in the '_cs_apps/components' directory into 'application.ADF' space. The structure reference name will be the file name of the component.

/*
 *
 *	Load the Site Environment Configs/Elements and 
 *		Components ('/_cs_apps/components') into the site.
 *
 */
loadSite();

ADF Applications

To make an ADF application accessible at the site level, the ADF application must be loaded into the site's application scope.

This setup is in the ADF Component at the site. Call the loadApp function through the ADF cfc. Pass the argument for the ADF application bean name (this name is defined when creating a new ADF application, Create New ADF App).

/*  
 *	Load the ADF Application into application space  
 *  
 *      SAMPLES: 
 *		loadApp("CustomAppBeanName");
 */
loadApp("ptProfile");

ADF Library Components

This command will load the latest versions of the ADF library components into the site, making the ADF library components accessible through the application.ADF scope throughout the site.

/*
 *
 *	Define the ADF components to load into the sites application space.
 *
 */
loadLibrary();

ADF Library Components Overrides

This command will override the latest version of an ADF library component into the site.

/*
 *	Define specific ADF Lib component version to load into the sites application space.
 *	
 *	SAMPLE:
 *		resetLibrary("csdata_1_0", "csdata");
 *
 */
resetLibrary("csdata_1_0", "csdata");

Verify

To verify the site has been configured correctly, reset the ADF on the site to load the ADF into application space.
