What is the difference between setview() and renderview()?

I want to know the exact explanation for difference between setview() and renderview()

Solution

  • setview() overrides the view set by convention (typically views/handler/action.cfm). This renders at the end of the event.

    renderview() calls the view immediately, similar to a cfinclude. The rendering can be captured in a variable for later use.

    See the ColdBox wiki for Views & Layouts for more information.
