Multiple Exception Handling in single catch clause Exception handling is a fundamental part of writing robust and maintainable applications. In CFML, exceptions are usually handled within try, catch, and finally blocks. Typically, developers use catch blocks to handle exceptions, but what if you need to handle multiple exceptions at once? In this blog, we’ll explore how to handle multiple exceptions in CFML’s catch statements effectively, improving error management in your ColdFusion applications. Handling multiple exception in one catch clause allows: […]

CFML allows trailing commas wherever a comma separated list of value can be provided and more values can be added. This feature is especially useful when working with long lists or when your code structure might change frequently It allows: Easier Code Modifications Cleaner Version Control (Diffs) Reduced Syntax Errors   CFML allows trailing commas wherever a comma separated list of value can be provided and more values can be added. Trailing Commas are allowed at following places: [Array] [Struct] […]

  User management is a fundamental aspect of application development. Whether you’re building a consumer-facing app or an enterprise solution, handling authentication, authorization, and user data is a critical challenge. In many cases, user data needs to be accessible across multiple services, even when the user hasn’t explicitly logged into each one. This is where directory management comes into play. Traditionally, applications relied on LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) to manage user directories. However, with the shift to cloud-based environments, […]

An interrupt is an indication to a thread that it should stop what it is doing and do something else. It’s up to the programmer to decide exactly how a thread responds to an interrupt, but it is very common for the thread to terminate. This is particularly useful in multi-threaded applications where you might want to gracefully stop a thread, handle a long-running task’s termination, or check for some condition periodically.   Why Use Interrupts? Graceful Termination: Interrupts provide […]

  With the evolution of authentication and API standards, integrating Exchange Online with ColdFusion requires adapting to new technologies. Previously, developers connected to Exchange Online using the cfexchangeconnection tag alongside various cfexchange tags like: cfexchangecalendar cfexchangecontact cfexchangemail cfexchangetask cfexchangefolder cfexchangeconversation cfexchangefilter This approach involved manually specifying the Exchange Online EWS endpoint, and while it worked, recent changes introduced new challenges. Challenges with the Existing Method 1. Basic Authentication Removal by Microsoft Microsoft deprecated and permanently disabled Basic Authentication for Exchange […]
