<!--
Every fuseaction is defined within a circuit.xml file within the
<circuits></circuits> container. A fuseaction defines at an architectural
level all of the functionality needed to execute. As an example, a fuseaction
of book.read might encompass ideas such as retrieve the book, find a chair,
open the book, etc. While the actual implementation of each of these items is
not explicitly defined in this fuseaction, these are the major functionalities
that are required to happen when executing these fuseactions. 

name Required. The name of the fuseaction. 
access Optional. Defines the default access method for this specific fuseaction.
        Can take one of three values: 

        internal - fuseaction can only be accessed by other fuseactions; 
        private - fuseaction can only be accessed by other fuseactions in the 
                        same circuit; 
        public - fuseaction can be accessed by any other fuseaction or directly 
                        by URL or other non-fusebox invocation method 
 

Note: This value overrides the access attribute in the circuit definition. 
If it is not defined, the fuseaction inherits the access attribute defined 
for its circuit.
 
permissions Optional. Defines the default access method for each fuseaction 
        in the circuit. Can take a single text value or a comma-delimited list 
        of permissions.

 

Note: Permissions can be used to implement security via a plugin.

Creates a variable, "name" having a "value.

ATTRIBUTES
 name Required if overwrite is present. Name of the variable.
value Required. The actual value that the variable should be set to. 
evaluate Optional. defaults to false. If set to true, allows for dynamic 
        evaluation of a variable. See second example. 
overwrite Optional, defaults to true. If set to false, evaluate will test 
        if this variable exists and if it does not exist, creates the variable

<!-- 
Duplicates the functionality of the <set /> element, but automatically 
puts the variable in the "xfa." scope for explicitly setting eXit FuseActions. 

Note: This should only (and always) be used to specify Fusebox XFAs. 
Do not specify the xfa scope when using this tag, the variable will 
automatically be created with it.


ATTRIBUTES
 name Required. Name of the variable. It will automatically be put in the 
        Fusebox XFA structure (e.g. XFA.someExitFuseaction). XFA Scopes 
        are defined in the local scope. 
value Required. The actual fuseaction that the xfa should be set to. 
        (includes both circuit and fuseaction name.) 

Note: If the fuseaction being called in the xfa is in the same circuit, 
the circuit name can be omitted and just the fuseaction specified.
 
evaluate Optional. defaults to false. If set to true, allows for dynamic 
        evaluation of a variable. See second example. 
overwrite Optional, defaults to true. If set to false, evaluate will test 
        for a variable xfa.#name# and if it does not exist, creates 
        the xfa with the value provided.

<!--
Executes a fuseaction and optionally assigns the output of the fuseaction 
to a variable specified in the contentvariable attribute. 

Note: Using <do /> commands can help with the replacement of recursive 
fusebox calls. <do /> commands operate in the same memory space as the 
currently executing fuseaction. <do /> commands can contain fuseactions 
that also execute <do /> commands as well.


ATTRIBUTES
 action Required. Defines the fuseaction to add to the Fuseaction queue. 
        Can be either a fully-qualified fuseaction (e.g. someCircuit.someFuseaction) 
        or another fuseaction in the same circuit (e.g. someOther). 
 contentvariable Optional. If a contentvariable name is specified, all the 
        output of the fuseaction in the action attribute will be saved to this 
        variable name. 
 append Optional, defaults to false. Determines whether output from the 
        fuseaction will be appended to (true) or overwrite (false) the 
        contentvariable specified in the contentvariable attribute.

Includes a template as part of the current fuseaction. 

Notes: If a filename with no extension is specified (e.g. dsp_myPage), 
the fusebox scriptFileDelimiter will be automatically appended to the name.

A circuits fuses should all exist in that circuit's directory. Although 
a circuit's fuseactions can exist in other directories, this is a poor 
programming practice since now the applications execution is now coupled 
directly to the underlying directory structure.


ATTRIBUTES
 template Required. The name of a file located in the circuit directory. 
 required Optional, defaults to true. If this attribute is set to true, 
        then an exception is thrown if the file does not exist. If the 
        value is set to false, the missing file will silently be ignored. 
 circuit Optional, defaults to current circuit. If this attribute is present,
        Fusebox will look in the specified circuit's directory for the
        included file.
 overwrite Optional, defaults to true. If contentvariable is specified
        and this attribute is "false", the template is only included if 
        the specified contentvariable is not already defined.
 append Optional, defaults to false. If this attributes is set to true,
        and contentvariable is specified, the output of the included
        template will be appended to the current value of the contentvariable.
 prepend Optional, defaults to false. If this attributes is set to true,
        and contentvariable is specified, the output of the included
        template will be prepended to the current value of the contentvariable.
 contentvariable Optional. If present, specifies the name of a variable
        into which the output of the included template will be stored.
        Affected by the values of the append/prepend attributes if present.

Used to instantiate an object defined in the <classes> tag

ATTRIBUTES
 arguments Optional, defaults to empty. This attribute may be
        used to specify the arguments that should be passed to
        the object's constructor, if one was specified. Alternately,
        arguments may be specified using nested <argument> tags.
 class Optional. Specifies the class name (declared in the
        <classes> declaration of fusebox.xml).
 webservice Optional. Specifies a URL for the WSDL file (Web
        Service Description Language) that defines the web service
        to be used.
 object Required. The variable into which the instantiated class
        or web service should be stored.
 overwrite Optional, defaults to true. If this attribute is
        "false", the instantiation only happens if the specified

Used to invoke an object defined in the <classes> tag

ATTRIBUTES
 object Optional. Specifies the object to be used for the method
        invocation.
 class Optional. Specifies a class to instantiate, to create the
        object to be used for the method invocation.
 webservice Optional. Specifies a URL for the WSDL file (Web
        Service Description Language) that defines a web service
        to be used, to create the object to be used for the method
        invocation.
 method Optional. Specifies the method name to be used. Arguments
        are specified using nested <argument> verbs.
 methodcall Optional. Specifies the method name and arguments to
        be used for the method invocation, e.g., "setData('theData')".
 overwrite Optional, defaults to true. Only meaningful if 
        returnvariable is also specified. If this attribute is "false",
        the invocation only happens if the specified returnvariable 
        is not already defined.
 returnvariable Optional. Specifies the variable into which the
        value returned by the method invocation is stored.

Note: one of "object" or "class" or "webservice" must be specified.
Note: one of "method" or "methodcall" must be specified.

Indicates a page redirect to another URL. Similar to <CFLOCATION> in CFML. 
Can be used for both client-side and server-side redirections and the 
CFID/CFTOKEN information can be appended to the URL automatically. 

ATTRIBUTES
 url Required. Any URL. Web page target for redirection. 
addtoken Optional. true|false. 

Defaults to false.

If true, the CFID/CFTOKEN values are appended to the URL parameter.
 
type Optional. client|server. Indicates whether the page redirection 
        should be server-side or client-side.

server - CFMX only: uses page-forward for true server side only relocation.
client - Available on CF5 and CFMX - uses the <cflocation> tag for 
        relocation that hits the client browser before redirection takes place. 

Note: Client Side Relocation DOES NOT use JavaScript

<!--
Used to iterate through a series of fuses in the fuseaction based on the
same five basic loop types as ColdFusion:
        condition - loop until the condition becomes false
        query - loop over the records in the query
        from/to/index/step - loop over the specified range of values
        collection/item - loop over the keys in the specified structure
        list/index - loop over the elements of the list

Note: For the condition form of loop, you must provide a way for the 
condition to reach a value of  "false" or the loop will be endless.
