JavaLoader 1.0 is moving from Alpha to Beta with only a few small bug fixes and enhancements. If you are not familiar with JavaLoader 1.0's functionality, you can have a look at my previous blog post , the documentation and/or the presentation I did at MAX for more information. The was a logic bug in […]
I had the wonderful opportunity to present and attend MAX for the first time ever this year, and I can honestly say, it was a fantastic time all around. MAX is completely unlike any other conference I've ever attended, both in terms of its sheer size, and also in terms of the wide gamut of […]
At a very ANZ friendly time of Wednesday, 10am Melbourne time, I'm going to be joining super-smart guys Brian Kotek and Barney Boisvert on CFPanel to talk about Java Integration with ColdFusion in the CFPanel Connect Room. This is obviously a topic that is quite near and dear to my heart, but it is also […]
JavaLoader 1.0 is a project I've been talking about off and on for the past 6 months or so, and I'm very happy to announce that a release version is now complete. There are several key new features to JavaLoader 1.0, Dynamic Compilation Now if you are working with JavaLoader, you don't have to bundle […]
In the previous two articles, we started the discussion of Hibernate Sessions and how they related to the ColdFusion 9 ORM. We noted the fact that a Hibernate Session keeps track of what objects it loads, and can therefore update it when it realises that the object has changed. The question then posses itself – […]
This year it is going to be my absolute pleasure to be attending and presenting for the first time ever at the Adobe MAX conference. My presentation is entitled ColdFusion For Java Developers and is scheduled for Wednesday, 5:00pm. Primarily aimed at Java developers, it is going to cover a myriad of ways that you […]
Now that ColdFusion 9 is in public beta, I wanted to write some articles explaining how Hibernate is actually working under the hood of the nice ORM integration we now have. Like all powerful tools, they can do a great many things – but only if you really understand how they work. Otherwise, they are […]
While I am recovering from the Australian WebDU conference, a few days before that started I got off a plane after the end of the wonderful cf.Objective() conference. I have to say, this year's cfObjective() was the best organised out of all the years I have been to. As per usual, the content was stellar, […]
This project started with writing the translation layer for doing Transfer to Flex communication, I ran into a pretty nasty bug in ColdFusion's remoting implementation, and then ended up in a place that solves all these problems, and is incredibly flexible and powerful to boot! Quite the round trip, but well worth it in the […]
As per usual, this is something that came out of my work with Transfer, but is something that applies to any ColdFusion application that exists. So in the context of ColdFusion, what exactly are we referring to when we say Thread? Generally the first thing we think of is <cfthread>, which executes some code on […]
