I started a series of blog posts on language enhancements and so far covered Script support for tags and Member functions. Today, I will be blogging about the new features added in ColdFusion Splendor to improve JSON serialization. Before I dive into the details of JSON serialization enhancements, here is the list of the language features: Script support for tags Member functions for CF data type/data structure Improved JSON serialization Easy to use CF functions for Query tag Elvis operator (?:) Promoting […]
We have often encountered bugs around datatype of data being written in spreadsheets. For example string like 8E45000 getting converted into a floating type or a string like 4D or 4F getting converted to numeric etc. The internal logic used to extract the data type of the data sometimes isnt that accurate and we would end up in writing corrupted data in spreadsheets. With Splendor now we provide users with the option of specifying the datatype of the data being […]
CFZip has been in ColdFusion since CF8 but it was only for unencrypted zip files. ColdFusion Splendor brings password protection to CFZip with multiple encryption methods. 2 new attributes have been added to CFZip and CFZipParam to support this functionality. Password EncryptionAlgorithm <Standard, AES-128, AES-256 (default)> Examples cfzip(action=”zip”, file=”C:ZipTesttestzipfile.zip”, source=”C:ZipTestsample.txt”, password=”pass”); cfzip(action=”list”, name=”zipFileList”, file=”C:ZipTesttestzipfile.zip”); cfzip(action=”unzip”, file=”C:ZipTesttestzipfile.zip”, destination=”C:ZipTest”, password=”pass”, overwrite=”true”); More examples here.
We have added 2 new methods in spreadsheet. 1.SpreadSheetAddPagebreaks Spreadsheets can have pagebreaks which breaks sheets into multiple regions when you want to print it. You can put these line breaks along rows as well as columns. Here is the syntax : SpreadSheetAddPagebreaks( ExcelInfo info, String rowbreaks,String colbreaks ) where info is the ExcelInfo object, rowbreaks are the row numbers and colbreaks are the column numbers where you want to put the page breaks. For example, SpreadSheetAddPagebreaks(info,”,’2′) breaks the sheet into two […]
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 […]
