More Modern features in ColdFuison, what are these features? Here are some and examples for each: CFScript QueryExecute Member Functions Elvis Operator Colusures Map Reduce Filter Each First Class Functions Safe Navigator CFScript: Seems like first CFScript was implemented in CF 4.0 Tags seemed ok back then because pre CFC’s (CF Components) Used UDF’s and Custom Tags to reuse and separate code CF MX (6.0) brought about CFC’s so separation of code CFCs – you create methods, which are ColdFusion […]

{6/22/2021 Update – This example will no longer work as you now need 2 secrets for each worker, one for the connector and one for monitoring if using PMT – look for an updated example soon] If you want to load balance between 2 ore more servers in ColdFusion here is an example worker.properties file that will set it up. You would edit for your local or remote servers. This feature is part of Tomcat and can be used for […]
I’ve been using CF since 1997 and developing custom application for healthcare and all done with CF. We use CF for its security, ease of use and CF quick support has been a part of our decision to continue to use CF. Thanks CF Team and keep up the good work!
I hate sprites When talking about sprites, I often hear from people that they hate them. Unfortunately their biggest reason tends to be one which could be easily solved, the grueling task of setting the background position pixels for each icon. Before I go further, I do want to address that glyph based fonts are a great alternate to sprites, so use them when you can. For those times where fonts are not an option, I hope the information in […]
Recently I had an issue with the ColdFusion internal Tomcat server that bears repeating. If you are using mixed case directory names and relative URLs to load your JS And CSS. It is important to note that Tomcat will report the links as 404 unless you are using Firefox. Since I develop with Firefox, I didnt see this until we got to testing. The exhibited behavior is a fully loaded ColdFusion page with all JS and CSS links reported as […]
As a coder you will find yourself writing the same code over and over, or maybe copying an pasting blocks of code that is required in several files of your application; so you open the file that contains the code you want to replicate, then select and copy the text to finally open the destination document and paste the code. What if I could save that block somewhere in my favorite editor (CF Builder) and then invoke it whenever I […]
Hello ColdFusion community. Over the years I’ve used several different integrated development environment (IDE) tools for my ColdFusion projects. Here’s a brief timeline of the IDEs that I’ve used over time in chronological order: Macromedia/Adobe Dreamweaver CFEclipse CFBuilder IntelliJ IDEA I feel like each IDE that I’ve used over time served a purpose. Dreamweaver, for example, was a great learning tool and for someone just starting to learn web design, the “design view” and integrated FTP synchronization was a valuable […]
There are 5 basic heuristic guidelines in object-oriented design. They will provide you with the solution to most of the problems you’re likely to encounter when designing your components, classes and interfaces. They are: Single Responsibility Open-Closed Liskov Substitution Interface Segregation Dependency Inversion The so-called S.O.L.I.D. principles of object-oriented design. For this article, we shall be looking at two of them in more detail: the Open-Closed Principle and Liskov’s Substitution Principle. For more information on all 5 SOLID principles, see, […]
Sometimes people install node.js only to find that there is already an implementation of node.js which seems to have been implemented by CF. What’s up with that?! 🙂 To be clear, you will only see this in CF11 and above, and then only if you chose the “development” profile during CF installation (as discussed here). It’s not that it’s used by the installer itself. Rather, it’s implemented for use with the weinre (mobile development inspection) feature which was also new […]
