I have an Application.cfc

In the top I set the mappings as follows:

this.mappings['/deptCFC']=ExpandPath('../cfc/');

test cfm page

<cfinclude template="/deptCFC/yourtest.cfm"><br>

fails to include template which exist in the cfc directory as specified in the this.mappings

if I set this in cfadmin then it works

per-application settings is enabled in cfadmin

i-7 32gb ram 2tb drive

win 7 64bit

eclipse juno 64 bit sr2

cfb3 64 bit installed as plugin

fb4.7 64 bit installed as plugin

    Bk,

    There are only three files in this test project and they are pictured here:

    yourtest.cfm simply returns the current date time:

    <cfoutput>Current Date Time Stamp: #now()#</cfoutput>

    index.cfm contains a simple cfinclude:

    <cfinclude template="/deptCFC/yourtest.cfm" >

    Application.cfc is pretty simple straight forward with little code:

    <cfcomponent displayname="ApplicationCFC" output="true" >

    <cfscript>

    this.name = "MyFireTouch_Mapping";

    this.mappings['/deptCFC']=ExpandPath('../cfc/');

    this.applicationTimeout = createTimeSpan(0,0,0,0);

    this.sessionManagement = "false";

    </cfscript>

    <cfdump var="#this#">

    <cffunction name="onApplicationStart" returntype="boolean" output="true">

    <cfset application.dsn = "myfiretouchdb">

    <cfset application.debugMode = 0>

    <cfreturn true>

    </cffunction>

    <cffunction name="onRequestStart" returntype="boolean" output="false">

    <cfargument name="thePage"type="string"required="true">

    <cfif isDefined('url.reinit')>

    <cfset onApplicationStart()>

    </cfif>

    <cfreturn true>

    </cffunction>

    </component>

    The applicaiton will reinitialize upon starting everytime so no need to change the name, but i have tried that part too.

    This is all the code there is, and it returns an error stating if cannot locate /deptCFC/yourtest.cfm but the dump of the mappings shows a full path to the correct directory:



    It just might be that the application falters or fails. Seeing the 0 timeout confirmed my instincts.

    So, let's rule one thing out, and at least avoid complications: give the application a non-zero timeout. For example, this.applicationTimeout = createTimeSpan(1,0,0,0);


    P.S.: As a rule, the Application file should not be used for display. Hence, delete the cfdump.

    It should work. Do you get an error message?

    To debug, run <cfoutput>#fileExists(expandPath('../cfc/yourtest.cfm'))#</cfoutput> in test.cfm, to verify whether the full path actually exists.
