ColdFusion ER: Custom Function Metadata

Posted by admin in CFML, CFML Engines, Coldfusion, Open BlueDragon, Railo, Uncategorized

Something I’ve wanted to do for years in coldfusion is return custom created metadata from functions in the same way that the query datatype is able to return metadata. eg: bob = queryNew("one,two,three"); writedump(bob) // returns the query object writedump(bob.recordcount) // returns the number of records (metadata) So in functions I’d love to be able to do the following (or if someone has a better implementation) public string function getAllMembers()...

Goodbye Tomcat… CFML & GlassFish…

Posted by admin in CFML, CFML Engines, Coldfusion, GlassFish, Java Stacks, Jrun, Open BlueDragon, Railo

I’ve been using tomcat with CFML engines for a while now. Let’s be honest, Tomcat sucks in so many annoying ways. So I’m now using the community OS version of Glassfish v3, and to be honest I’m really pleased with the results. You just drop the .war files into the web gui (did someone say gui! – or you can use the cli) and before you know it you’ve got all three CFML engines on one box, better yet it’s super easy to configure on any platform, and for...

Things I Love About Dreamweaver CS4 (and now CS5)

Posted by admin in CFML, Development IDE, Dreamweaver

Well, I’ve got to admit that Adobe has done a brilliant job with Dreamweaver CS4. It’s a pretty smooth application and as a ColdFusion & Javascript centric programmer, this is a swell setup. Things I love about Adobe Dreamweaver CS4: The Interface (I use ‘Coder Plus) Well at first I must admit I didn’t like it much. It’s a departure from the traditional Windows interface, but I think that’s a good thing. It’s not too Mac looking either. I really...

The Aptana Cloud Proves PHP Developers Can’t Code

Posted by admin in CFML

The thing I’m wondering is why developers need a cloud to release applications that ‘theoretically’ should run at a blistering pace. For example: WordPress runs like a dog. Everyone loves it, however it’s written so badly when any sort of traffic hits it is grinds almost to a halt. WordPress written in cfml or .net would run 1000% faster than in PHP. In fact in order to make such a claim you need to build a cfml version in order to prove the claim. So thats what...
