Directory structure

The ColdFusion root directory, referred to as cf_root, contains all ColdFusion software except for Remote Development Services (RDS) support, which enables Macromedia Dreamweaver MX and Macromedia HomeSite+ to access ColdFusion directly. RDS support is not recommended on production servers.

If you install RDS support, it is located in a rds.war directory in the same parent directory as the ColdFusion root directory.

The following table describes the contents of the root directory of ColdFusion MX for IBM WebSphere Application Server. This table uses the backslash character (\) for directory paths; the information is the same for UNIX, except that the directories are separated by forward slashes (/).
