Charlie Arehart talks about “More you missed from Adobe ColdFusion 10, 11, And 2016” in this episode of the CF Alive Podcast, with host Michaela Light. Are you moving up to CF2016, or maybe 11? In doing so, are you skipping over 11, or perhaps even 10, in that move? Shops often drag their feet upgrading from one version of CF to another and may well skip multiple releases in the process, so that they may not have paid attention […]

Performance issues are one of the biggest challenges to expect when designing and implementing web applications. Performance problems can disrupt your business, which can result in short and long term loss of revenue. The ColdFusion support team at Adobe, has dealt with several performance related issues with ColdFusion and a couple of them, around JDK 1.8 as well. Based on our experience with customers, the major performance issues could be categorized as – CPU hikes, Website crashes, Processing of slow […]
How upsetting is it to have a deployed ColdFusion application that is full of bugs and issues? Is the cost of going back and fixing the problems hurting your bottom line? Are you concerned that proper testing procedures were not followed during development due to time constraints or developers just not knowing the proper way to test? You are not alone. In fact, one CIO lamented that developers “can’t imagine how to test code,” and don’t think about testing “before, […]
This is a brief follow up to my previous article on Hacking for Bitcoins in which I detailed how servers were being hijacked with cryptocurrency miners and using your servers CPU power to mine for Bitcoins or other blockchain cryptocurrencies. This is an updated twist on that hack. I saw this Ars Technica article today and it points out that the newer twist is to inject code into your websites code and then process cryptocurrency mining on your website user’s […]
The year 2017 was very “generous” with conferences about ColdFusion. If we take a look how many of them were, plus webinars and other online resources, we can say it’s the best so far. And to think that a year or two back, people were asking “is ColdFusion dead?” Muracon 2017 Adobe ColdFusion Government Summit IntoTheBox 2017 ColdFusion Conference cf.Objective 2017 NCDevCon CFCamp 2017 Adobe ColdFusion Summit 2017 ColdFusion webinars Confirmed conferences for 2018 Confirmed conferences for 2018 So far […]

I have seen a lot more people asking questions about making SFTP or FTPS secure connections from ColdFusion using the <CFFTP> tag. They are trying to figure out why they cannot make a connection. Often the error is “Algorithm negotiation fail” or “Connection Error”. People are posting their questions on many support forums including Adobes forums and their new ColdFusion Community Portal. This is a problem people are experiencing in ColdFusion 10 and ColdFusion 11. In the last few years […]
Recently at my organization, we have decided to step out in a bold new direction and completely revamp all of our web applications. With the introduction of the Adobe API Manager and our desire to shift resource consumption from the server to the client, we have quite a bit of work in front of us. This will be the beginning of a series chronicling our experience as we implement the project from its very beginning until we deliver the final […]
This is something that might not come up often, but every once in a while we have to connect to a Sybase database. This is a built in feature in the Enterprise version of ColdFusion. However, if you have the Standard version of ColdFusion you have to manually add the JDBC jar file and build the connection string by hand. This is easy to do once you have the correct information and correct format of the connection string. Finding that […]
So i was upgrading from ColdFusion 11 to ColdFusion 2016 yesterday. Everything goes fairly smoothly and then i find that none of my data sources are connecting. I’m getting a licensing error connecting to my Oracle databases. Seems that ColdFusion 2016 standard does not include the Oracle driver, I have to have enterprise for that. Yes, it’s on me that I should have checked for this but I didn’t because in every other version of standard I’ve used the Oracle […]
