If you're using a development setup where its ok to have FarCry 4 OR 5 running as needed you can add a /farcry/core mapping and just update that depending on what you're working on. CF does need to be restarted after the change though.

We originally intended to use application specific mappings, but discovered that there was an important difference between them and the mappings set up in the CF administrator. Basically: extends paths (and I think tag library paths) can only be defined once across the server. This means that the first application to claim to a mapping (e.g. farcry) would define it server wide. I think it's because of the difference between compile time paths and run time paths.

Sigh. I don't want to remove my old FC mappings because they're
required for another app.... I could create a new CF instance, if the
instance manager worked in CF 8.0.1 on Leopard.

Looks like I'm up the crick for now.

.... then again, I wonder if a per-application-mapping would make a
diff.....
