Harnessing the power of Verity, ColdFusion event gateways, and Flex 2 – Part 1: Setting up the collection and event gateway

Setting up your Verity collection

First you create a Verity collection of documents. For this example, you use Word documents for different articles from the Developer Center and put them into a directory on your hard drive:

1. Create a folder under your web root called /adobeArticles, for example: C:/inetpub/wwwroot/adobeArticles

   Note: Your folder or directory locations may be different based on your installation of ColdFusion server.

2. Extract the Word documents from verityEventGateway.zip file and place them in the C:/inetpub/wwwroot/adobeArticles directory.
3. Log into the ColdFusion Administrator.
4. Select Data & Services > Verity Collections.
5. In the Name field, enter AdobeArticles (see Figure 1).

6. For Path, leave the default setting.

   Note: The Path field specifies a path to place the collection on another machine or in another location on the system. The default path at installation is cf_root/verity/collections (Server configuration) or cf_webapp_root/WEB-INF/cfusion/verity (J2EE configuration).

7. For Language, leave the default setting of English (Basic).

8. For Enable Category Support, leave the default setting unselected.
