Server debugging
Dreamweaver can request files from ColdFusion and display the response in its embedded browser. When the
response returns from the server, Dreamweaver searches the response for a packet of XML that has a known
signature. If Dreamweaver finds XML with that signature, it processes the XML and displays the contained infor-
mation in a tree control. This tree displays information about the following items:
• All templates, custom tags, and include files that are used to generate the rendered CFM page
• Exceptions
• SQL queries
• Object queries
• Variables
• Trace trail
Additionally, the Server Debug panel can display debug data from other server models. To set up Dreamweaver to
debug other server models, use the
function.
dreamweaver.resultsPalette.debugWindow.addDebugContextData()
Availability
Dreamweaver MX.
Description
Interprets a customized XML file that returns from the server that is specified in the Site Definition dialog box. The
contents of the XML file display as tree data in the Server Debug panel, so you can use the Server Debug panel to
