API Manager

We made the decision to move from our current API Gateway to the Adobe API Manager.  We chose this platform for several reasons. Cost – It was included in our CF Enterprise license and saved us significant money over our other gateway. Ease of Use – The UI is simple and clean.  The Manager is rich with features. Analytics – The Manager provides detailed analytics that are customizable and provide very detailed information. We currently have the API Manager setup in […]

Map, Reduce, and Filter functions in a query object in ColdFusion

In my previous blog, I had shown with examples, how you’d use map, filter, and reduce on arrays to manipulate values in an array. To reiterate, map transforms the values in an array (or struct or list), filter filters a value that satisfies a condition, and reduce reduces the values to a single value. In this blog, we shall see how to apply map, filter, and reduce functions on query objects. Map The map function iterates over each row of the […]

Adobe logo next to staff names

Hi Adobe, IMO, there should be an Adobe logo next to staff names. That way users know if an author or commenter is an Adobe employee or not. Thanks!, -Aaron

ColdFusion Rocks!!

Hi Adobe, I was introduced to CF in v4.5 and will love it till v450.0+ . I appreciate its power/flexibility/security, and enjoy kicking its tires regularly. Allaire/Macromedia/Adobe have steadily supported/strengthened it over the years, and I respect CF’s past/present management/engineers/community . In short, CF rocks, long live CF, and cheers to Aether!! Thanks!, -Aaron

Usable search

Hi Adobe, The Portal’s search isn’t very usable. It’s limited to 7 results (thus, no pagination). It doesn’t let us filter (ex: by author/commenter or date range) or sort (ex: by creation date) the results. Maybe I’m missing something. I just don’t see any way to do a more ‘advanced’ search. Is that possible or planned? Thanks!, -Aaron

Iconography suggestion

Hi Adobe, IMO, the “Interested in API Manager in ColdFusion 2106?” icon should match the “Request For Information” icon. Both links directly solicit information from the user, thus the current pencil/paper icon is appropriate for both, IMO. (I’m referring to the links near Portal’s top-right) Thanks!, -Aaron

Please hide/remove non-CF questions from CF Portal’s “Unanswered Questions” page

Hi Adobe, I see a number of non-CF questions on CF Portal’s “Unanswered Questions” page. And quite a few “test” questions. Can you please hide/remove those? Thanks!, -Aaron

Axis-2 and Axis-1 compatibility issues in ColdFusion

CF install/deployment choices: what’s right for me?

When you download and install ColdFusion, you are offered various options. They may be a bit confusing if you’re not familiar with the choices.
