Virtual Mapping?

Hello,

I was wondering what was the best way / if there is a CF way to map... for example... http://www.mysite.com/home to map to the file http://www.mysite.com/folder_x/nice_file.cfm 

Is this something that can be set in the application.cfc? or would other methods be easier / more frequently used?

Thanks!!

    URL mappings are typically done at the web server, rather than at CF. By default, CF won't process the request for /home, as it's only looking for URLs that end in .cfm, .cfc, etc.

    You could do this with mod_rewrite on Apache or ISAPI_Rewrite on some versions of IIS.
