DEVELOPING COLDFUSION 9 APPLICATIONS
Developing CFML Applications
Configuring debugging in the ColdFusion Administrator
ColdFusion can provide important debugging information for every application page requested by a browser. The
ColdFusion Administrator lets you specify which debugging information to make available and how to display it. The
Administrator settings briefly described. For more information, see the online Help for the Debugging pages.
Debugging Settings page
In the Administrator, the following options on the Debugging Settings page determine the information that
ColdFusion displays in debugging output:
Option
Enable Robust Exception Information
Enable Debugging
Select Debugging Output Format
Report Execution Times
General Debug Information
Database Activity
Exception information
Tracing information
Description
Enables the display of the following information when ColdFusion displays the exception
error page. (Cleared by default.)
•
Path and URL of the page that caused the error
•
Line number and short snippet of the code where the error was identified
•
Any SQL statement and data source
•
Java stack trace
Enables debugging output. When this option is cleared, no debugging information is
displayed, including all output of
cftrace
You should disable debugging output on production servers. Doing so increases security by
ensuring that users cannot see debugging information. It also improves server response
times. You can also limit debugging output to specific IP addresses; for more information, see
"Debugging IP addresses page" on page 380.
Determines how to display debugging output:
•
The classic.cfm template (the default) displays information as plain HTML text at the
bottom of the page.
•
The dockable.cfm template uses DHTML to display the debugging information using an
expanding tree format in a separate window. This window can be either a floating pane or
docked to the browser window. For more information on the dockable output format, see
"Using the dockable.cfm output
Lists ColdFusion pages that run as the result of an HTTP request and displays execution
times, ColdFusion also highlights in red pages with processing times greater than the
specified value, and you can select between a summary display or a more detailed, tree
structured, display.
Displays general information about the request: ColdFusion Version, Template, Time Stamp,
User Locale, User Agent, User IP, and Host Name.
Displays debugging information about access to SQL data sources and stored procedures.
(Selected by default.)
Lists all ColdFusion exceptions raised in processing the request. (Selected by default.)
Displays an entry for each cftrace tag. When this option is cleared, the debugging output
does not include tracing information, but the output page does include information for
cftrace tags that specify inline="Yes"
