BlueDragon 7.1: Deploying CFML on ASP.NET and the Microsoft .NET Framework 23
Now consider the following figure, which illustrates the BlueDragon datasources configured for
the Default Web Site. The “Entry Type” for the “ows” datasource is listed as “Inherited” indi-
cating that this configuration setting was inherited from the server level. If the “ows” datasource
is not needed by the Default Web Site, it can be deleted at the Default Web Site level without
affecting the server-level configuration or any other web sites that may be subsequently confi-
gured for IIS.
The “Entry Type” for the “sqlserver” datasource is listed as “Local” indicating that it has been
configured only for the Default Web Site and will not be available for any other web sites that
may be subsequently configured for IIS (notice the status text at the lower left that indicates that
this configuration setting exists in the web.config file for the “Default Web Site”).
If the configuration settings for the “ows” datasource are modified in any way, those changes
only affect the Default Web Site and do not affect the server-level configuration in any way. In
this case, the “Entry Type” field value would change from “Inherited” to “Local.”
In addition to inheriting configuration setting from the server level to the web site level, IIS web
sites may themselves contain web applications that have separate configuration settings within
their own web.config files. Just as web sites inherit configuration settings from the server
level, web applications in turn inherit configuration settings from the parent web site level (in-
cluding configuration settings that the web site inherited from the server level).
