Overview
Component level metadata can be added by placing additional attributes in your content type's opening cfcomponent element. Adding metadata can alter the default behaviour of the framework and help you leverage hidden services.
<cfcomponent extends="types" displayname="HTML Page" hint="Forms the basis of the content framework of the site. HTML objects include containers and static information." bObjectBroker="1" bUseInTree="1" bFriendly="1">
