DEVELOPING COLDFUSION 9 APPLICATIONS

The CFML Programming Language

• Service tags with bodies, such as cfmail and cfquery

• Tags for defining and using components and functions: cfcomponent, cfinterface, cfimport, cffunction, cfproperty,

cfargument. For more information, see

Tag without bodies

Several basic ColdFusion tags now have corresponding CFScript operators. These operators take a subset of standard

tag attributes, and do not allow custom attributes. They do not return values.

The following list specifies the CFML tags and their corresponding CFScript syntax:

abort ["message"];

exit ["methodName"];

• cfinclude:

include "template";

param [type] name [=defaultValue];

The param attribute can now take any number of name=value pairs. Param can also take all the attributes of

as name-value pairs.

For example:

param name="paramname" default="value" min="minvalue" max="maxvalue" pattern="pattern"

• cfrethrow:

throw "message";

For detailed information on the statement parameters, see the corresponding tag attribute description in the CFML

Language-level tags with bodies

ColdFusion includes CFScript elements that provide the functions of the following language (compiler)-level tags,

which have bodies. These tags manage the execution of code within their bodies:

• cftransaction:

Thread and transaction support also include functions, such as

manage any thread or transaction, whether you define it with a tag or a function.

The lock, thread, and transaction operations have the following syntax:

operationName attributeName1=value1 attributName2=value2...

{body contents }

The lock operation has no special characteristics or limitations. All cflock tag attributes are valid operation parameters.

The following code uses the lock operation:
