We are pleased to welcome Mark Takata, to the Adobe ColdFusion Family. Mark would be taking the role of Technical Evangelist. I first met Mark at CF Summit 2018 and again at 2019 where he was a speaker. He is very passionate about anything related to ColdFusion and always has ideas on new features to be included in CF. Mark learned CF in the late 90s as his first programming language. Over a career spanning two decades Mark has worked […]
Let’s all offer a hardy welcome to our new Adobe ColdFusion Technical Evangelist, Mark Takata. It’s great to see Adobe creating (recreating) that position. I’m pretty sure that the last formal CF “evangelist” (with that name as their title) was Terry Ryan (about 10 years ago), and before that Adam Lehman (who later became Product Manager). And while Elishia Dvorak did indeed work AS an evangelist for CF, though her title was Technical Marketing Manager (she has moved over to […]
This may not be “news” for everyone but somehow it had slipped by me: the ColdFusion 2021 Lockdown Guide has been available since December 2020 (and was updated slightly in Jan 2021). I find no mention of it here, so I thought it a good post to share. The 2021 guide is about 9 pages longer than the 2018 version. The new version covers security-related aspects of new features in CF2021, such as CF package management (cfpm), as well as […]

Have you ever wished you could confirm with 100% certainty what Java version is in use by the CF instance you are running? Or where the JVM’s location is (in case you are told to modify files related to it)? Maybe you don’t have access to the CF Admin, or aren’t sure you can trust you or a colleague are looking at the “right” CF Admin. The good news is that ColdFusion offers simple ways/variables that can show you each […]
I am trying to go from ColdFusion 11 to ColdFusion 2021 and I am having issues with the Datasource connection in the Administrator. I can verify that the datasource is working and connecting properly to my Oracle database but when I try and select the edit button I get the following error: Element urlmap.servicename is undefined in STDSN. The specific sequence of files included or processed is f:coldfusion2021/cfusion/wwwroot/administrator/datasources/oracle.cfm, line:653. When I try and open this file it shows that it […]
UPDATE TO THIS POST (on Apr 30, 2021): See Adobe’s response to this problem, discussed in a post on Apr 30, 2021. I offered a comment on what I don’t like about the currently-proposed “solution”. I leave the rest below for historical perspective. This isn’t technically “ColdFusion news” but it affects those who may want to use the Adobe ColdFusion Docker images. Since 2018, they have been hosted on the Docker registry service from JFrog called BinTray. (It was never […]
