There has been considerable improvements in spreadsheet performance. We have done alot of internal code changes to improve this performance. Apart from internal changes we have also exposed something for users. SpreadSheetWrite method and write action of cfspreadsheet tag now takes one more parameter ‘autosize’. By default now all the excel sheets have all their columns expanded and resized once they are written. Column expansion is a very expensive process which if avoided can save some valuable milliseconds. Here is […]
In the coming release we have made few updates in spreadsheet : 1. Overall performance has improved a lot. Read/write/update/format operations should be faster and consume less memory 2. SpreadSheetWrite method now takes ’autosize’ parameter. If it is false, columns of output spread sheets wont be resized and users can avoid this expensive operation 3. New methods like SpreadSheetAddPagebreaks(adds page breaks in spreadsheet) and SpreadSheetAddAutofilter(Sets autofilter on the specific sheet) have been added 4. Internally POI has also been upgraded […]

trycf.com is a new learning initiative by Abram Adams. The idea of the portal is to offer tutorials for new or beginner level ColdFusion developers with interactive tutorials using which you can type in CFML code on the browser and see the results live! This is a great way to quickly learn the CFML programming without having to download ColdFusion. What’s more, Abram Adams also has a contest running right now where the you, the ColdFusion community, can help take […]
ColdFusion Enterprise installation includes FIPS compliant RSA BSAFE JCE Crypto Provider. Default algorithm used by this library for random number generation is ECDRBG (A variant of Dual Elliptic Curve). RSA has released an advisory regarding same (ESA-2013-068) listing unsafe random bit generation algorithms. ColdFusion sets the default random number generator algorithm to FIPS186Random (JVM argument -Dcoldfusion.jsafe.defaultalgo=<algorithm>) which is completely safe to use. So good news is by default your ColdFusion 10 installation is secure. Note that CrypotJ libraries are not […]

One of the world’s leading open-source research websites was experiencing performance issues because increasing volumes of data were taxing the system’s available memory. To solve the problem, the Social Science Research Network (SSRN) called on ITX Corp., an IT solutions provider. ITX rebuilt the site using Adobe ColdFusion, which helped eliminate memory problems, cut development times through the reuse of modularized code, and streamline SSRN’s web technology infrastructure. “Not only did the upgrade to 64-bit Adobe Cold Fusion help […]
