Making Adobe ColdFusion a Thriving Community

CF Community is alive Despite its great technological features, ColdFusion is only as strong as its community. Nobody should feel alone when coding in CF anymore when there is a vibrant CF Community you can be part of. That is why outreach to developers outside the community is so important. Together, we can help to solve issues, learn new features, and create better code for the future. Without active CF experts and developers in a community, ColdFusion wouldn’t be really […]

Wanted CF Dead or Alive

It’s almost impossible to type ColdFusion into a search bar and avoid a google suggestion, ”Is ColdFusion dead?” Sometimes it seems that ColdFusion is being targeted by one of those old Wild West Wanted Posters that say “Wanted, Dead or Alive”: I was so tired of seeing and hearing about CF dying that I wrote a book called “CF Alive: Making ColdFusion Modern, Vibrant and Secure” (see below).  And I am announcing the new CF Alive Inner Circle. I’m here to show […]

ColdFusion Debugging on Production

Today’s short note is brought to you by “Don’t Do That On Production!” At CF Webtools often times we get called in to help troubleshoot servers that are failing to perform well. We often hear the same sort of symptoms that goes like this. The server has been running fine for months then suddenly for no reason it’s slow, CPU usage is high, and it hangs or crashes multiple times per day. This always prompts us to ask the same […]

Garbage First helps boost CF2018 performance

Garbage first UseG1GC (G1) has been present for a while as an experimental option in Java 7 and released in Java 8. Java 9 and 10 offer G1 as default collector. Of interest Java 11 is due for release in September (in a few days as I write). When CF2018 installs it sets Parallel garbage collector. Suggest folks could do well to enable some Java logging and examine log file for performance related information like how long and when memory is […]

The Best Version Control System (3 Reasons Why It Matters to All ColdFusion Developers)

In the world of software version control, there are many passionate and differing opinions. Some developers and leaders are adamant about the use of version control software, but others seem to care little of the safety and continuity of their ColdFusion applications. Entire comment sections of blog posts have been turned into heated discussions over the subject of “Use or Not?” I will explain the importance of using version control software, tell you why it matters to ColdFusion developers, and […]

ColdFusion member functions for XML object management

Prior to ColdFusion 2018, ColdFusion supported the following XML member functions: .elemNew() (equivalent of XmlElemNew) .childPos() (equivalent of XmlChildPos) .duplicate() (equivalent of Duplicate) .getNodeType() (equivalent of XmlGetNodeType) .search() (equivalent of XmlSearch) .transform() (equivalent of XmlTransform) Since ColdFusion also supports using array and structure functions to manage XML document objects, I filed CF-4199973 to add the relevant string, struct and array member functions on XML variables. ColdFusion 2018 added the following XML member functions: * .append() (equivalent of StructAppend) ** .clear() […]
