Update 19 for v2021 breaks oracle drivers
DC was buzzing on March 26 as more than 100 ColdFusion enthusiasts filled the room for CF Summit East 2025. The sessions? Hands-on and honest. The crowd? All-in. ColdFusion might be turning 30, but it’s clearly not slowing down—and neither are the people building with it. Vivek Kumar kicked off the day with a keynote on the direction ColdFusion is heading. He spoke about the latest release—Adobe ColdFusion (2025 release)—and shared how Adobe continues to invest in speed, security, and […]

I wanted to get technical input on something related to our ColdFusion setup. We’ve configured 20 ColdFusion instances on one server, and each instance has a Java max heap size of 4500 MB. Now, let’s say each of these instances tries to generate a PDF file that’s around 5000 MB—so larger than the configured heap size. Would this scenario lead to an out-of-memory issue? Just to add, the host machine has 93 GB of RAM. Appreciate your thoughts on this!
Hi Experts, CF 2023: Suddenly today CGI.HTTP_REFERER getting empty value and some of the pages of application are not working as expected. Any reason? I have three apps, only one of the application has this issue. Thanks for you support
We use Dailyrazor as our web host. Over the past couple of days our CFM forms have been acting strange. Every time a form is submitted it now has a JS header forwarding the browser to a site in Japan. None of the form is processed. Our host was hacked a couple of weeks ago – I’m wondering if the CF install was hijacked/corrupted? Or am I just missing something simple? Here is an example page:https://skicmsc.com/_contact_include.html Submit the form and […]
Configuring ColdFusion in a Distributed Environment (Linux): ColdFusion and Apache ColdFusion is a powerful application server that helps developers build dynamic web applications with ease. It provides a robust scripting language (CFML), seamless database connectivity, and enterprise-level functionalities such as session management, caching, and security. A distributed environment means running different parts of an application on different servers, making it faster and more reliable. ColdFusion, when used with Apache in this setup, helps handle web traffic better and improves performance. This setup reduces downtime and ensures everything runs smoothly. This guide will show you how to set up ColdFusion 2023 (or 2021) with Apache on different servers. A distributed environment means running ColdFusion on one machine and the Web server on a different machine. This guide will show you how to configure ColdFusion 2023 (or 2021) with Apache on different servers.
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] […]
When troubleshooting performance issues in ColdFusion, analyzing thread and heap dumps can help diagnose bottlenecks, memory leaks, and deadlocks. The ColdFusion Performance Monitoring Toolset (PMT) is the recommended method for capturing Thread and Heap dumps. It captures them in real-time and allows you to create alerts on system events and trigger the Thread dump and Heap dump automatically (For more details, refer to this article). We will explore alternative ways to capture them if you are not using the PMT. […]
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, […]
