Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Returns the filename - path - parent directory - type - size - when the file was most recently modified - whether the file has read permission - write permission - and if it is hidden?






2. Replaces special characters in a string with their HTML-escaped equivalents and inserts <pre> and</pre> tags at the beginning and end of the string






3. Converts an XML document that is represented as a string variable into an XML document object.






4. Stores a copy of a page on the server and/or client computer - to improve page rendering performance. To do this - the tag creates temporary files that contain the static HTML returned from a ColdFusion page. Use this tag if it is not necessary to ge






5. Executes a ColdFusion developer-specified process on a server computer.






6. Attribute of the <CFINVOKE> that allows you to pass parameters to web services. Name of a structure; associative array of arguments to pass to the method.






7. Will stop execution of the entire page and not return control back to the calling page.






8. Determines whether a function parameter is an XML document object element. Returns true - if the function argument is an XML document object element; False - otherwise.






9. Invokes a custom tag for use in ColdFusion application pages. This tag processes custom tag name conflicts






10. Creates a ColdFusion object - of a specified type






11. Determines whether the function parameter is an XML Document Object Model (DOM) attribute node. Returns true - if the function argument is an XML attribute node - otherwise returns false.






12. Available to a locally or remotely executing page or component method - or a remote client through a URL - Flash - or a web service. To publish the function as a web service - this option is required.






13. Uses a Document Type Definition (DTD) or XML Schema to validate an XML text document or an XML document object.






14. Gets the position of a child element within an XML document object






15. Creates an XML document object element. Returns an XML document object element. The other choices are not valid ColdFusion functions.






16. Replaces special characters in a string with their HTML-escaped equivalents






17. Determines whether a directory exists. Returns Yes - if the specified directory exists; No - otherwise.






18. Creates an XML document object.






19. Defines a function that you can call in CFML. Required to defined ColdFusion component methods.






20. Generates a URL-encoded string. For example - it replaces spaces with %20 - and non-alphanumeric characters with equivalent hexadecimal escape sequences.






21. Serializes and deserializes CFML data structures to the XML-based WDDX format. The WDDX is an XML vocabulary for describing complex data structures in a standard - generic way. Implementing it lets you use the HTTP protocol to such information among






22. Invokes a component method from within a ColdFusion page or component - or invokes a web service.






23. Uses an XPath language expression to search an XML document that is represented as a string variable. Returns an array of XML object nodes that match the search criteria.






24. Creates a ColdFusion XML document object that contains the markup in the tag body.






25. Any encountered error - including undeclared ones. Cannot include CFML tags - but you can display values of the error variables by enclosing them in number signs (#) - as in #error.MailTo#.






26. Writes a message to a log file






27. Specifies whether constructor code in the component can generate HTML output; does not affect output in the body of cffunction tags in the component.






28. Used to incrementally output a CFML page request to the web browser before a CFML page is completely processed






29. Determines whether a function parameter is the root element of an XML document object. Returns true - if the function argument is the root object of an XML document object; False - otherwise






30. Determines whether a string is well-formed XML text.






31. Converts a value to a string. ColdFusion has the ability to convert an XML document object to a string by using this function.






32. Available to a locally executing page or component method






33. Attribute of the <CFFEED> tag is used only for the create action with a query attribute. It is a structure that specifies a mapping between the names of the columns in the object specified by the query attribute and the columns of the ColdFusion feed






34. Determines whether a CFC is being called as a web service. Returns true if CFC is being called as a web service - otherwise false is returned.






35. Runs at the beginning of the request. It is useful for user authorization (login handling) - and for request-specific variable initialization - such as gathering performance statistics.






36. Escapes special XML characters in a string - so that the string is safe to use with XML.






37. Creates a date/time object that defines a time period. You can add or subtract it from other date/time objects and use it with the cached within attribute of <CFQUERY>.






38. Sets permissions on directories. It applies only to UNIX/LINUX OSes and is used when the ACTION attribute is set to CREATE.






39. Determines the type of an XML document object node. Returns a string identifying the XML node type






40. Runs when an uncaught exception occurs in the application. Use this method to handle errors in an application-specific manner. This method overrides any error handlers that you set in the ColdFusion Administrator or in cferror tags. It does not overr






41. Determines whether a function parameter is an Extended Markup language (XML) document object. Returns true - if the function argument is an XML document object; False - otherwise.






42. Displays and logs debugging data about the state of an application at the time the tag executes. Tracks runtime logic flow - variable values - and execution time. Displays output at the end of the request or in the debugging section at the end of the






43. Returns result values from a component method.






44. Creates a date/time object that defines a time period. You can add or subtract it from other date/time objects and use it with the cachedwithin attribute of <CFQUERY>.






45. Available only to the component that declares the method - components that extend the component - or any other components in the package






46. Available only to the component that declares the method and any components that extend the component in which it is defined






47. Errors recognized by server-side type validation. Cannot include CFML tags - but you can display values of the error variables by enclosing them in number signs (#) - as in #Error.InvalidFields#.






48. Flushes the query cache






49. Name of parent component from which to inherit methods and properties






50. Invokes a custom tag for use in ColdFusion application pages. Used to avoid custom tag name conflicts
