DEVELOPING COLDFUSION 9 APPLICATIONS
Using External Resources
RDS CRUD wizard
The Remote Development Services (RDS) CRUD Wizard lets you dynamically create a ColdFusion component (CFC)
based on a table that is registered in the ColdFusion Administrator on a ColdFusion server. To use the RDS CRUD
wizard, you must have the Eclipse RDS Support plug-in installed. (The Eclipse RDS Support plug-in is installed when
you install the ColdFusion wizards.)
The RDS CRUD Wizard lets you create the following types of CFCs:
• ActiveRecord style CRUD CFC, which includes all of the properties, get and set methods, and SQL methods in one
CFC. The CFC includes the following methods:
() or

• A Bean CFC, also called a Value Object, which contains the property definitions and get and set methods.
• The DAO CFC, which contains the following methods:
(primary key value)
