ColdFusion/Flex Application wizard
The ColdFusion/Flex Application wizard creates ColdFusion and Flex files for a create, read,
update, delete (CRUD) application. You specify the master, detail, and master/detail pages to
include in the application, and the relationship between the application's pages. The wizard
lets you use Visual Query Builder to generate the SQL statements. For more information
about using Visual Query Builder, see
Designing your application
Before starting the ColdFusion/Flex Application wizard, you should determine which pages to
include in your application, including the following:
Whether each page is a master, detail, or master/detail page
■
The fields to display in each page
■
The fields that connect one page to another
■
In the following example, you create an application for an art gallery. The first page lists all the
artists that your gallery represents. When a user selects an artist, a page that lists all the works
by that artist appears. When the user then selects a work of art, a page that contains details
about that piece of art appears. In this example, your application contains the following pages:
A master page that lists the artists
■
A master/detail page in which the master page lists the works of art by the artist selected
■
on the List of Artists master page, and a detail page that contains details about the artwork
selected on the Artwork master page.
You may find it helpful to draw a diagram of the tables and fields that you want to include in
your application, including which ones to display in your application, as the following figure
shows:
