cfc location

[Guest]

I am trying to create a folder in the webroot named "foldername" to contain all my sites cfc files. My problem is that on my computer, within the coldfusion wwwroot folder, I have many clients web sites within their own folders. I need to be able to keep my computer as the testing server and then the remote server as the actual live web site. The issue is that I have to invoke the compenent using a different location on the testing server vrs the remote live web site server. For example, the testing server is wwwroot/clientname/foldername/name.cfc whereas the shared hosting location is wwwroot/foldername/name.cfc.

Does anyone have any simple suggestion so that I dont have to rewrite all my files before I upload them and then rename them when I want to use the testing server vrs remote server or create a variable in the application.cfc to alter when using the different locations?

Thanks

Or use the ColdFusion mapping feature that was desined for just this purpose.

On you development machine create a mapping named "foldername" that points to wwwroot/clientname/foldername.

On you shared hosting create a mapping named "foldername" that points to wwwroot/foldername.

Then just call your cfcs with the path "foldername.name", CF will use the mapping unless there is a local path that matches thie pattern first.

OF course if you don't control the coldfusion configuration of your shared hosting, you may have to make a request to have such a mapping created.  Any hosting provider wothy of the name will have a process to make such a request or some administration tool for you to do so yourself.

Thank you, I think the solution is a little easier..hopefully. I can just map my development machine because on the shared hosting the folder will be directly off the root which is how it is writtin in the cfinvoke.
