If you have been hearing people talk about MCP and feeling like everyone else got the memo while you were in a meeting that should have been an email, you are not alone. MCP, which stands for Model Context Protocol, is quickly becoming one of the most useful ideas in the agentic AI space because it gives applications a standard way to connect models and agents to tools, prompts, and resources. In plain English, it is a common language for […]
You can feel it in the muscle memory. There was a time when “being good at coding” meant you could hold a big chunk of a problem in your head, translate it into working code, and then patiently chase the weird little edge case that only appears when a user in Ohio clicks the button twice. Now a new reflex is forming: describe the goal, accept a suggestion, tweak it, run it, repeat. That shift is not just about speed. […]
If your server is behind some load balancer, proxy, or caching solution, you may need to know the “real” IP address for a user, using CFML code but you may find all requests show “coming from the same ip address”, though clearly from different users. Or perhaps you are developer and (related to this problem) you find that you can never get CF “debugging output” to appear, even though your IP address is in the CF Admin list.
These problems can be fixed, and this post shows how using Tomcat (which underlies CF) and its available RemoteIPValve, which can be configured pretty easily.

In the high-stakes world of enterprise logistics and finance, architectural “trends” take a backseat to durability and reliability. This blog explores the strategic decision-making process behind choosing a backend architecture, using Thin Air Web as a primary case study. By opting for a consolidated application server (Adobe ColdFusion) rather than a fragmented, dependency-heavy framework, Thin Air Web has successfully managed nationwide logistics for NavigatorTMS and millions of dollars in weekly transactions for over 20 years. The post outlines why reducing third-party dependencies is the “secret sauce” for long-term uptime and rapid development velocity.
Follow the steps below. Step 1: Create the New Script Directory and copy the existing cf_scripts content to the new Script Directory. Create a new Scripts Directory (C:/cf_scripts) and copy the existing cf_scripts content ({cf_root}/cfusion/wwwroot/cf_scripts) to the new Scripts Directory. Step 2: Edit server.xml Take a backup of the existing server.xml file in the ({cf_root}/cfusion/runtime/conf) directory. This ensures you can revert to the original configuration if needed. Open the server.xml file in a text editor and add the following configuration: […]
Adobe ColdFusion 2023 now includes a DISA-approved STIG tailored for application servers. Fully vetted by the Defense Information Systems Agency and aligned with NIST 800-53, it provides structured, standards-based security guidance for regulated and public sector deployments.
This helps agencies and contractors implement ColdFusion with greater confidence and compliance readiness.
