other web technologies. Developers can then test the pages locally or deploy them on a

web server where the ColdFusion MX environment has been installed. The following is an

example of a simple dynamic web page written with CFML. The majority of the text is

standard HTML, while the highlighted lines are ColdFusion tags.

SELECT * FROM Products

</CFQUERY>

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE>Product List</TITLE>

</HEAD>

<BODY>

<H1>Company X Products</H1>

#ProductName# $#Price# <BR>

</CFOUTPUT>

</BODY>

</HTML>

The first ColdFusion tag embedded in this page instructs the ColdFusion environment to

retrieve all of the entries from the Products table in the CompanyDB database. The

second tag instructs ColdFusion to place the results from the query on the page, with

each product name and its associated price on its own line. These instructions on the

ColdFusion page are processed entirely on the server. Only the results, in this case the list

of products and the associated HTML tags, are passed to the browser requesting the

page.

With its intuitive server scripting and integrated development tools, ColdFusion MX

enables developers to build advanced websites and applications – including database

reporting systems, content publishing solutions, portals, ecommerce sites and more – in

the most rapid and cost-effective manner available.
