80 Chapter 2: ColdFusion Tags
cfcollection
Description
Creates, registers, and administers Verity search engine collections.
A collection that is created with the
cfcollection tag is internal. A collection created any other
way is external.
A collection that is registered with ColdFusion using the
cfcollection tag or registered with the
K2 Server by editing the k2server.ini file is registered. Other collections are unregistered.
An internal collection can be created in these ways:
• With the cfcollection tag
• In the ColdFusion Administrator, which calls the cfcollection tag
An external collection can be created using a native Verity indexing tool, such as Vspider or
MKVDK.

History
ColdFusion MX:
• Changed the requirements for the action attribute: it is now required.
• Added the action attribute list value. It is the default.
• Changed the requirements for the action attribute value map: it is not necessary to specify the
action attribute value map. (ColdFusion detects collections and creates maps collections as
required.)
• Changed acceptable collection naming: this tag accepts collection names that include spaces.
• Changed Verity operations behavior: ColdFusion supports Verity operations on Acrobat PDF
files.
• Changed thrown exceptions: this tag can throw the SEARCHENGINE exception.
