News and AnnouncementsNew Vulnerability Reported - Adobe Patched in March!Today, CISA also added a critical Adobe ColdFusion vulnerability (tracked as CVE-2024-20767), which Adobe patched in March. Since then, several proof-of-concept exploits have been published online.CVE-2024-20767 is due to an improper access control weakness that allows unauthenticated, remote attackers to read the system and other sensitive files. According to SecureLayer7, successfully exploiting ColdFusion servers with the admin panel exposed online can also allow attackers to bypass security measures and perform arbitrary file system writes.https://www.scyscan.com/cve-2024-20767/adobe-coldfusion-improper-access-control-vulnerability/#google_vignette Important notice: Upcoming deprecations and removals in ColdFusion (2025 release)Added cfencode.sh to the table of removals.Updated Customizing an HTTP response to HTTP reason phrases.Added contact email id cf-deprecation@adobe.comhttps://coldfusion.adobe.com/2024/12/important-notice-upcoming-deprecations-and-removals-in-coldfusion-2025-release/ ICYMI - Adobe CF2025 Beta is now openGet an exclusive sneak peek at what's next for ColdFusion!

News and AnnouncementsNew Library - SocketBox - Bring 1st Class Socket Support to BoxLang, Lucee and Adobe ColdFusionThe WebSocket server in CommandBox and BoxLang MiniServer is not really a separate "server" per se, since it's on the same port. It's just an upgrade listener which will upgrade any WS requests.This websocket integration will work for Lucee, Adobe, and BoxLang alike as it passes incoming messages to the app via an "internal" HTTP request to /WebSocket.cfc?method=onProcess where the CF/BL code can handle it. The incoming request will have all cookies, headers, hostname, etc that the original websocket connection was started with, so normal CGI variables and session scopes should work fine.You need to create a custom /WebSocket.cfc class that should extend the modules.socketbox.models.WebSocketCore class in this library which provides the base functionality.https://www.forgebox.io/view/socketbox https://community.ortussolutions.com/t/introducing-socketbox-a-new-websocket-library/10381/1New Releases and UpdatesTestBox v6.0.0 ReleaseTestBox 6.x is a major update to the testing framework, introducing key improvements like full support for BoxLang. With this release, users can write tests, specs, and harnesses directly in BoxLang. A new BoxLang CLI runner simplifies running specs and bundles without needing a web server. Additionally, the CLI now detects BoxLang projects, adds headless web server testing with the bx-web-support module, and includes dynamic assertion methods for cleaner test writing. Significant new features include environment helpers, display name annotations, and improved debugging and matcher functions. https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/testbox-v600-release qb v10 is BoxLang CertifiedHyper v7.5.3 is BoxLang CertifiedUpgrade to FusionReactor 12.1.1 Now: Defect in FusionReactor 12.1.0 That Can Potentially Disable Metrics ShipperOn September 26th, 2024, we learned of a bug affecting some customers who upgraded to FusionReactor Agent version 12.1.0.

It was introduced in CF2021, and while some are aware that it can help manage the new modular packages-based design of ColdFusion, many are unaware of the many features of this cfpm tool--and how this package management mechanism can be used to their advantage.In this talk, veteran CF troubleshooter Charlie Arehart will introduce the feature (CF's package-based design and the package manager), including identifying the way it can manage the packages used in a current CF instance as well as in automating creation of new instances. Perhaps most useful, we'll see how the tool offers a mechanism to SCAN your CFML code base to identify what packages you would need. We'll also see how the tool can help with updating CF, as well as managing the update download "repo". And speaking of updates, we'll discuss ways the cfpm/package mechanism has evolved in updates since the release of CF2021 and in CF2023.Meetup:https://www.meetup.com/coldfusionmeetup/events/298727912/ Recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYTW7adg_Ao&list=PLG2EHzEbhy0-QirMKgSxhjkUyTSSTvHjL&index=1&pp=iAQB CF Hawaii - ColdBox Modules - Jon Clausen Feb 23rd - 12pm Hawaii Timehttps://cfml.slack.com/archives/C06TSRXCJ/p1706309775867449?thread_ts=1706236924.005739&cid=C06TSRXCJRecent ReleasesInto the Box 2023 Videos are now available for all Paid Subscriptions https://cfcasts.com/series/itb-2023 Coming Soon - After the break from HolidaysMastering CBWIRE v3 from GrantConferences and TrainingAdobe ColdFusion Online Summit 2024Unleash the powe...

For me, feature flags are as transformational as databases—they are as important as both logs and metrics. I cannot imagine creating another product without them.I believe that I have a perspective worth sharing. I want to help people see the magic that I see. I want to help teams deliver value to their customers with love and empathy and without fear.https://featureflagsbook.com/ New Releases and UpdatesColdBox Debugger v4.2 - Unleashing a Wave of Debugging Power!In the ever-evolving landscape of web development, staying ahead requires cutting-edge tools.

https://youtu.be/sbc2U4WYrng This week on the podcast, we cover a new unauthenticated keystroke injection vulnerability in the Bluetooth implementation on nearly every type of device. After that we discuss Logofail, a suite of vulnerabilities in most UEFI boot implementations that could let threat actors easily hide their tracks. We end by covering a recent CISA advisory on Adobe ColdFusion exploits in the wild.

In this episode of the Business of Tech, three important topics are discussed. First, the recent federal agency compromise serves as a wake-up call for the importance of patching and security vigilance. Next, the use of AI and MSP tools is highlighted as a reflection of industry trends. Lastly, Microsoft's commitment to ethical advancements in technology, specifically in relation to AI as a co-pilot, is explored. Research by Veracode reveals that thousands of businesses are still vulnerable to log4j exploits, emphasizing the need for regular updates and security vigilance. Additionally, an unidentified threat actor gained access to a U.S. federal government agency by exploiting a previously patched vulnerability in Adobe ColdFusion.Three things to know today00:00 Federal Agency Compromise: A Wake-Up Call for Patching and Security Vigilance04:52 AI in MSP Tools: N-able's Latest Move Mirroring Industry Trends07:30 AI as Co-Pilot: Microsoft's Ethical Commitment in Technology AdvancementSupported by:https://timezest.com/mspradio/https://rfcode.com/mspradio/ CODE MSPRADIO for 30% off at checkoutWant to take my class? https://www.itspu.com/all-classes/classes/navigating-emerging-technologies-for-msps/Looking for a link from the stories?

It's a very strange notation, so I'll probably never use it.

These would fall under the "natural language" operators, in that they read like normal human language, not computer jargon. But, my suggestion is somewhat fraudulent considering the fact that I never use the natural language operators in ColdFusion.

I started learning about them 20-years ago for the purposes of data cleaning at Nylon Technology; and, since then, not a day goes by where I don't use them in some form. A lot of engineers view pattern matching as a dark art; and, there's no question that RegEx patterns can be very complicated. But, they don't have to be. Simple patterns can still add a lot value in your every day engineering life.

For various reasons, the reliance on CFML query objects means that large amounts of CSV require large amounts of memory.https://blog.simplicityweb.co.uk/138/reading-large-csv-files-with-cfml 11/15/23 - Blog - Brian Reilly - Critical Variable Mass Assignment Vulnerability in Adobe ColdFusion (CVE-2023-44350)Adobe ColdFusion is vulnerable to a Mass Assignment vulnerability that can result in an attacker being able to modify the value of any variable in any scope within the context of remote CFC methods.  A mass assignment vulnerability occurs when application code allows a user to set or modify arbitrary objects or values without verifying that the user is authorized to do so.  Modifying values related to authorization checks, security controls, or other important functions may permit a malicious user to access sensitive data or perform other unexpected actions.  Mass assignment vulnerabilities are not unique to ColdFusion and have affected other languages including ASP.NET, PHP, and Ruby on Rails. https://www.hoyahaxa.com/2023/11/critical-variable-mass-assignment.html 11/15/23 - Tweet - Brad Wood - I found a CommandBox Cheat SheetCame across this cool CommandBox cheat sheet by @djgarcia76 today:https://cheatography.com/garciadev/cheat-sheets/commandbox/ #ColdFusion #CFML #CLIhttps://x.com/bdw429s/status/1724863039281807808?s=20 11/13/23 - Blog - Nolan Erck - ColdFusion Summit 2023 RecapA few weeks ago was the annual ColdFusion Summit in Las Vegas.

LogBox is also part of the ColdBox Platform suite of services and libraries. It allows you to easily build upon it's logging framework to meet any logging or reporting needs your applications have. LogBox surpasses ColdFusion's very basic cflog tag. LogBox allows you to create multiple destinations for your loggings and even configure multiple destinations or change them at runtime.Almost every application needs logging and/or tracing capabilities, and we have developed LogBox to satisfy these needs. Although you should not over-use logging as it can slow down an application, LogBox allows you to filter out or cancel logging noise.Great integrations available on ForgeBox like Sentry etchttps://logbox.ortusbooks.com/https://www.forgebox.io/view/logbox VS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the Week11/23/23 Docker - v1.28.0Lots of updates since we last covered this extension in 2019!!!!The Docker extension makes it easy to build, manage, and deploy containerized applications from Visual Studio Code. It also provides one-click debugging of Node.js, Python, and .NET inside a container. You can get IntelliSense when editing your Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml files, with completions and syntax help for common commands. Docker Compose lets you define and run multi-container applications with Docker. Our Compose Language Service in the Docker extension gives you IntelliSense and tab completions when authoring docker-compose.yml files. Press Ctrl+Space to see a list of valid Compose directives. The Docker extension contributes a Docker Explorer view to VS Code. The Docker Explorer lets you examine and manage Docker assets: containers, images, volumes, networks, and container registries. If the Azure Account extension is installed, you can browse your Azure Container Registries as well. The right-click menu provides access to commonly used commands for each type of asset. You can run Docker commands to manage images, networks, volumes, image registries, and Docker Compose. In addition, the Docker: Prune System command will remove stopped containers, dangling images, and unused networks and volumes. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-azuretools.vscode-docker Thank you to all of our Patreon SupportersThese individuals are personally supporting our open source initiatives to ensure the great toolings like CommandBox, ForgeBox, ColdBox,  ContentBox, TestBox and all the other boxes keep getting the continuous development they need, and funds the cloud infrastructure at our community relies on like ForgeBox for our Package Management with CommandBox.

It's a vast concept but to sum it up in a single line, it is a set of concepts and techniques that make use of the “object” construct, to write more reusable, maintainable, and organized code. Objects are implemented differently in every language. In ColdFusion, we have ColdFusion Components (CFCs) that can be instantiated to create objects.Anyone who has ever studied OOP must know that there are four main concepts, which are: Abstraction Encapsulation Inheritance Polymorphism https://www.meetup.com/hawaii-coldfusion-meetup-group/events/294629892/ICYMI - Hawaii CF User Group Meetup - Mark Takata on Graph QL & ColdFusionGraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data.

The value in question was being passed-through ColdFusion's native trim() function; which was clearly not removing this whitespace character. As such, it occurred to me that I didn't really know which characters are (and are not) handled by the trim() function. And so, I wanted to run a test.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4516-which-whitespace-characters-does-trim-remove-in-coldfusion.htm 9/13/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Using FileReadLine() With Seekable Files In ColdFusion Last week, I started to explore seekable files in ColdFusion. A seekable file allows us to jump to an arbitrary offset within the file contents (which I believe can be done without having to read the entire file into memory). I've recently been dealing with consuming large text-files at work; and, I'm wondering if a seekable file might be something I can use to create a "resumable" consumption process. As such, I wanted to play around with using the fileReadLine() function in conjunction with seekable files in ColdFusion.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4515-using-filereadline-with-seekable-files-in-coldfusion.htm 9/11/2023 - Tweet - Ben Nadel - Weird Application Datasource ErrorHas anyone had any luck getting per-application datasources (ie, `this.datasources`) to work in #ColdFusion 2023?

Webinar / Meetups and WorkshopsOOP & ColdFusionNolan ErckFriday, September 29, 2023 @ 12 PM HAST (Hawaii Standard Time)Object-Oriented Programming is common term in programming language. It's a vast concept but to sum it up in a single line, it is a set of concepts and techniques that make use of the “object” construct, to write more reusable, maintainable, and organized code. Objects are implemented differently in every language. In ColdFusion, we have ColdFusion Components (CFCs) that can be instantiated to create objects.Anyone who has ever studied OOP must know that there are four main concepts, which are: Abstraction Encapsulation Inheritance Polymorphism https://www.meetup.com/hawaii-coldfusion-meetup-group/events/294629892/CFCasts Content Updateshttps://www.cfcasts.comRecent Releases Into the Box 2023 Videos is available for purchase as an EXCLUSIVE PREMIUM package. https://cfcasts.com/series/itb-2023  Subscribers will get access to premium packages after a 6 month exclusive window.

I don't do a lot of file I/O (Input, Output) at work, so I'm a bit rusty. I ended up using the fileOpen(), fileReadLine(), and fileClose() functions to imperatively iterate over the file without reading it fully into memory. It wasn't until after I was done that I remembered the CFLoop tag can actually do all of that for me declaratively in ColdFusion.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4507-using-cfloop-to-iterate-over-a-file-line-by-line-in-coldfusion.htm09/01/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Using Seekable Read Files In ColdFusionYesterday, when I was looking at how to loop over a file using CFLoop, I came across an old post of mine in which Raymond Camden mentioned the fileSeek() function. In all my years of ColdFusion, I've never used fileSeek() - which allows us to jump to an arbitrary offset within a file. I believe that fileSeek() works with both readable and writable files; however, the documentation on this is unclear. For this post, I'm looking at using seekable read files in ColdFusion.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4508-using-seekable-read-files-in-coldfusion.htm09/02/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Using Labeled Loops In ColdFusionThe other day, I was watching a tutorial on the Svelte JavaScript framework and I saw that they used the $: notation to denote reactive values. I believe that this is just an old JavaScript feature for labeling parts of the code (which Svelte is then overloading). I've never used that JavaScript feature myself; but, it did remind me that some of this labeling concept is also available in ColdFusion as well, specifically for loops. I've never used this feature in ColdFusion either; so, I thought it might be worth a quick exploration.I couldn't find much on how this feature actually works outside of this article on the ColdFusion blog. The idea is that you can add a label to either a for or a while loop; and then, consume that label in either a break or a continue statement. Essentially, you can tell ColdFusion which loop you are referencing in your break / continue statements.Which is really only meaningful if you have nested loops. Otherwise, the break and continue statements simply reference the one contextual loop that you are in.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4509-using-labeled-loops-in-coldfusion.htm09/03/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Including CSS File Content Using CFInclude In ColdFusionIn my first pass at building Dig Deep Fitness - my ColdFusion fitness tracker - I'm using a traditional, multi-page application (MPA) approach. Which means, every navigation is a full-page refresh. This is slower than a single-page application (SPA). As such, in order to help decrease page load times - especially on first load - I'm rendering my temporary CSS directly in the page tag. This way, the browser doesn't need to block-and-request the .css file in a separate HTTP request. And, to keep things super simple, I'm doing this with the CFInclude tag; which, in ColdFusion, can include any kind of text file.Normally, when we use the CFInclude tag, we're including a ColdFusion file. Specifically, a .cfm file. ColdFusion will then compile this file down into byte code, execute it (as ColdFusion code), and then append the output to the current page output.But, there's nothing that says the referenced template has to be a .cfm file. In fact, you can include any text file and ColdFusion will happily compile and execute it. In my case, to cut down on network requests, I'm using CFInclude to include a .css file.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4510-including-css-file-content-using-cfinclude-in-coldfusion.htmCFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 94 ColdFusion positions from 61 companies across 41 locations in 5 Countries.4 new jobs listed in the last two weeksFull-Time - ColdFusion Programmer in Tulsa, OKJackson Technical L.L.CPosted: August 23, 2023https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/ColdFusion-Programmer-at-Tulsa-OK/11596Full-Time - ColdFusion programmer in Washington, DCV3VisionsPosted: August 24, 2023https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/ColdFusion-programmer-at-Washington-DC/11597Full-Time - ColdFusion Developer | 4 to 6 years in Mumbai, Maharashtra, IndiaCapgeminiPosted: August 25, 2023https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/india/ColdFusion-Developer-4-to-6-years-Mumbai-at-Mumbai-Maharashtra/11598Full-Time - ColdFusion programmer at Remote, USGeoCivixPosted: August 30, 2023https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/CFMLDev-at-Remote-US/11602Other Job LinksThere is a jobs channel in the CFML slack team, and in the Box team slack now tooForgeBox Module of the WeekIPby Ryan AlbrechtThis ip package will help you retrieve info for a given ip and subnet.

However, even with years of Flexbox experience under my belt, I'm not always confident that I understand exactly how it will behave when it contains overflowing content. One scenario in which I've been using Flexbox recently is to create a dynamic set of "panels". Consider a set of side-by-side panels in which one panel is dynamically added or removed to and from the DOM (Document Object Model), respectively. Is it safe to apply overflow:auto to these CSS Flexbox panels?https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4499-sanity-check-using-overflow-scrolling-on-css-flexbox-panels.htm08/13/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Error "Type" Isn't Always A String In Adobe ColdFusionYesterday, while working on Dig Deep Fitness, my ColdFusion fitness tracker, I accidentally consumed an ordered struct as if it were an array. As expected, ColdFusion threw an error; however, my centralized error handling logic broke because the type property of the thrown error was not a string, it was a complex Java object. I don't think I'd ever run into this issue before - I've always believed that the type, message, detail, and extendedInfo properties were guaranteed to be a string. I guess not.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4500-error-type-isnt-always-a-string-in-adobe-coldfusion.htmHere's your joke translation for the day: https://twitter.com/Updates4Devs/status/169068193489081958408/16/2023 - Blog - Brad Wood - Use CommandBox's rate limiter on only certain requestsThis came up in conversation internally at Ortus today and I wanted to write it down somewhere public. There has already been a setting in CommandBox for some time called web.maxRequests in the server.json to limit the total number of concurrently-running requests for the entire server. Once this pool is full, any additional incoming requests will be queued until there are free threads available.The problem scenario is what if you allow 25 concurrent requests (max threads) and someone whacks the refresh button 30 times on a report that takes 5 minutes to run? Well, all your available threads will be busy for the next 5 minutes and your site won't respond to other requests in the meantime, even if they are quick ones.The same potential scenario goes for CommandBox 6's new multi-site mode. The worker thread pool in Undertow is global and applies to all sites. That means if you have 2 sites and allow 100 concurrent requests and site 1 is using all of them, there will be no threads left to process any requests for site 2.The solution to both of these scenarios is a server rule that is built into Undertow called request-limit(). You can specify a request limit for an entire site or even for a specific type of request.https://community.ortussolutions.com/t/use-commandboxs-rate-limiter-on-only-certain-requests/9750CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 87 ColdFusion positions from 58 companies across 41 locations in 5 Countries.2 new jobs listed in the last two weeksFull-Time - ColdFusion Developer at Quincy, MAPosted: August 09, 2023https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/CFDeveloper-Quincy-MA/11594Full-Time - Coldfusion at Thiruvananthapuram, KeralaPosted: August 18, 2023https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/india/Coldfusion-at-Thiruvananthapuram-Kerala/11595Other Job LinksThere is a jobs channel in the CFML slack team, and in the Box team slack now tooForgeBox Module of the WeekRemember Meby David LevinRememberMe is a Coldbox module designed to work in conjunction with your authentication system to "remember" and automatically log in users on subsequent website visits.https://forgebox.io/view/rememberMeVS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the Weeki18n AllyAll in one i18n extension for VS CodeSupports multi-root workspacesSupports remote developmentSupports numerous popular frameworksSupports linked locale messagesUses i18n for the extension itself, of course.

News and AnnouncementsPassing the Baton: Lucee 5.4 and Hibernate ORMAs of Lucee 5.4.1.8, new Lucee builds will no longer bundle the (Lucee) Hibernate extension. This means that if you rely on Hibernate ORM in your CFML application, you will need to manually bundle the Hibernate extension into your Lucee server. Let's read on for more info.The NewsFirst, let's start with the official note from the Lucee 5.4.1.8 Stable Release notes (courtesy of Zac Spitzer):Lucee ORM is no longer being developed or bundled by the Lucee Team, Ortus have forked and taken over the development of ORM for Lucee, see Introducing: The Ortus ORM Extension.It seems that Lucee has made the decision to 1) trim the Lucee installation size by no longer bundling the Hibernate extension with new Lucee installations, and to 2) halt further development on the Lucee Hibernate extension. It is unclear whether "no longer being developed" is referring to new features only, or whether that includes bug fixes and security patches as well.This news means that Micha and the LAS team can focus on the Lucee server platform, bringing you speed and stability, while Ortus provides the Hibernate integration for a powerful database ORM layer.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/passing-the-baton-lucee-6-and-hibernate-ormNew Releases and UpdatesColdBox v7.1.0ColdBox 7.1 introduces several new features that expand the capabilities of the framework and facilitate better development practices:Scheduled Tasks DebuggingYou can now add a debug argument to your task definitions, and your console will add tons of debugging for your tasks:`task( name : "My Task", debug : true )`toRedirectTo() MatcherYou can now use this matcher to test relocations in a nice fluent expectation:`expect( event ).toRedirectTo( "main.index" )`REST on{errorType}Exception() ConventionThanks to our very own Gavin Pickin you can now create exception handlers in your REST Handlers that follow the on{type}Exception() convention and you can listen to specific error type exceptions:`function onTypeMismatchException( event, rc, prc )`https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/coldbox-710-releasedTestBox v5.2.0 and v5.3.0v5.2.0New FeaturesFaster Performance with Updated MixerUtilTESTBOX-375Introduces enhancements to the MixerUtil module, resulting in faster performance during dynamic mixins and enhancing the flexibility of your test suites.More Control with bundlesPattern in TestBox InitTESTBOX-376Adds the bundlesPattern parameter to testbox.system.TestBox's init method. This new addition gives you greater control over defining the pattern for your test bundles, making test organization a breeze.Introducing TestBox ModulesTESTBOX-377Brings a game-changing feature to TestBox - Modules support! Now you can create and utilize modules to extend TestBox's capabilities, opening up endless possibilities for tailored testing workflows. Check out our docs: https://testbox.ortusbooks.com/in-depth/modulesBug FixesQuery Compatibility in ExpectationTESTBOX-346Addresses an issue where using expect(sut).toBeInstanceOf("something")) with a query could cause unexpected behavior. This has been resolved, ensuring a smoother testing experience with query objects.Improved cbstreams FunctionalityTESTBOX-374Fixes issues related to cbstreams outside of ColdBox, ensuring seamless functionality in various environments.ImprovementsEnhanced toBeInstanceOf() HandlingTESTBOX-20Improves the handling of toBeInstanceOf() expectations for Java classes, making it even easier to write precise and robust tests for Java objects.v5.3.0New FeaturestoBeIn() and toBeInWithCase() ExpectationsTESTBOX-379These new expectations allow you to verify the presence of a needle within a string or an array target. With the toBeIn() expectation, you can easily check if the expected needle exists in the target. Additionally, toBeInWithCase() performs a case-sensitive check for the needle in the target. These powerful expectations enhance your testing capabilities and streamline the validation of data within your tests.New Matchers and Assertions for String StartTESTBOX-380With these new matchers and assertions, namely toStartWith(), toStartWithCase(), startsWith(), and startsWithCase(), you can validate whether a string begins with an expected prefix. These matchers come with their appropriate negations, allowing you to easily test and verify the starting points of strings in your application.New Matchers and Assertions for String EndTESTBOX-381TestBox v5.3 introduces powerful matchers for checking the end of strings. The new matchers include toEndWith(), toEndWithCase(), endsWith(), and endsWithCase(). These matchers enable you to confirm the presence of an expected suffix in a given string, making it convenient to test the endings of strings during your test suite executions.Bug FixesonSpecError suiteSpecs CorrectionTESTBOX-378In previous versions, there was a minor issue with onSpecError, where the suiteSpecs attribute was mistakenly referred to as suiteStats. With TestBox v5.3, we have fixed this bug, and the attribute is now correctly recognized as suiteSpecs. This ensures that error reporting and handling in your test suites function as expected, providing you with accurate and helpful feedback during testing.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/testbox-v52-release-embracing-performance-and-extensibilityhttps://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/testbox-v53-releaseOrtus Redis Extension v3.0.0We are very excited to bring you another release for our Redis Lucee Extension.

In this talk, veteran CF troubleshooter Charlie Arehart will address all these and more, starting with a focus on tools and techniques for solving common problems with them, then showing several ways to create them (yes, even more than just cfschedule and the CF Admin UI).He'll then review several features of using tasks that you may have missed—to include distinguishing which few are NOT available in CF Standard.He'll also discuss briefly the underlying quartz open source framework that powers them (and offers still more extensibility), as well as the underlying neo-cron.xml file and tips for protecting that, and he'll even identify ways to control/allow access to managing tasks that may surprise many. He'll conclude with alternatives when the base features don't suit you.https://hawaiicoldfusionusergroup.adobeconnect.com/p6izv4ia43a7/Hawaii ColdFusion Meetup Group — Graph QL & ColdFusionSpeaker: Mark TakataFriday, August 25, 2023 @ 12 PM HAST (Hawaii Standard Time)GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more, makes it easier to evolve APIs over time, and enables powerful developer tools.GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for executing those queries with your existing data. It provides a more efficient, powerful, and flexible alternative to REST.In ColdFusion 2023 we are providing a native method of consuming and sending data across GraphQL using GQL. This includes support for fragments, variables, aliases, queries, mutations, subscriptions and more.Also, this talk will go over on why to use Graph QL over REST APIs.https://www.meetup.com/hawaii-coldfusion-meetup-group/events/294631289/Adobe Upcoming EventsAdobe ColdFusion Workshop WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9, 20239:00 AM EDTOnline EventBrian Sappeyhttps://adobecf-1day-workshop.meetus.adobeevents.com/Join the Adobe ColdFusion Workshop to learn how you and your agency can leverage ColdFusion to create amazing web content.

UTC is "the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time" (source). Date/Time values get stored in UTC and then - as needed - translated back into a given user's timezone during the rendering process. This is why, when I added the concept of "workout streaks" in Dig Deep Fitness (my ColdFusion fitness tracker), my initial instinct was to use UTC. Unfortunately, this approach quickly broke down.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4492-considering-utc-and-recording-activity-streak-data-in-coldfusion.htm07/27/2023 - Tweet X Post(?) - Brad Wood - Automated CommandBox Server TestsI've fully automated the tests in my CommandBox Server Tests repo.

In this view, the user is presented with a series of inputs for resistance weights, reps, and notes. Depending on how fast a user is moving through their workout, they may be on this one view for several minutes without submitting the form back to the ColdFusion server. This "pending data" makes me nervous. As such, I've started auto-saving the form data in the background using JavaScript's fetch() API.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4494-auto-saving-form-data-in-the-background-using-the-fetch-api.htmBeacons : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Beacon_APILocalStorage: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Storage_API/Using_the_Web_Storage_API08/02/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - My ColdFusion "Controller" Layer Is Just A Bunch Of Switch Statements And CFIncludesThe more experience I get, the more I appreciate using an appropriate amount of complexity when solving a problem. This is a big part of why I love ColdFusion so much: it allows one to easily scale-up in complexity if and when the requirements grow to warrant it. When I'm working on my own, I don't need a robust framework with all the bells-and-whistles. All I need is a simple dependency-injection strategy and a series of CFSwtich and CFInclude statements.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4497-my-coldfusion-controller-layer-is-just-a-bunch-of-switch-statements-and-cfincludes.htmCFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 85 ColdFusion positions from 56 companies across 39 locations in 5 Countries.2 new jobs listed in the last two weeksFull-Time - SIS New ColdFusion C1 - Pune, Maharashtra, IndiaPosted: July 26, 2023https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/india/SIS-New-ColdFusion-C1-at-Pune-Maharashtra/11592Full-Time - ColdFusion Developer - Washington, DC,  United StatesPosted: August 01, 2023https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/CFDeveloper-Washington-DC/11593Other Job LinksThere is a jobs channel in the CFML slack team, and in the Box team slack now tooForgeBox Module of the WeekColdBox Vite & ColdBox Vite Helpers by Eric PetersonThis module provides a `vite` helper function in your views for loading files generated byVite and the coldbox-vite-plugin in your ColdBox applications.https://www.forgebox.io/view/vite-helpershttps://www.npmjs.com/package/coldbox-vite-pluginVS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the WeekHeadwindBy Ryan HeybournHeadwind is an opinionated Tailwind CSS class sorter for Visual Studio Code.

He'll conclude with alternatives when the base features don't suit you.https://www.meetup.com/hawaii-coldfusion-meetup-group/events/294711603 Adobe Upcoming EventsWebinar- Road to Fortuna Series: New Administrator Features in Adobe ColdFusion 2023 WEDNESDAY, JULY 26, 202310:00 AM PDTOnline Eventhttps://administrator-features-adobe-coldfusion.meetus.adobeevents.com/ Adobe ColdFusion Workshop WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9, 20239:00 AM EDTOnline Eventhttps://adobecf-1day-workshop.meetus.adobeevents.com/ Webinar - Road to Fortuna Series: Exploring the New Google Cloud Platform Features FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 202310:00 AM PDTOnline Eventhttps://google-cloud-platform-adobe-coldfusion.meetus.adobeevents.com/ CFCasts Content Updateshttps://www.cfcasts.comRecent Releases Into the Box 2023 Videos is available for purchase as an EXCLUSIVE PREMIUM package. https://cfcasts.com/series/itb-2023 Subscribers will get access to premium packages after a 6 month exclusive window.

But, they are supported in my personal use of Adobe ColdFusion. As such, I wanted to start thinking about ways in which to leverage these operators. One such case is constructing a dynamic collection of arguments and then invoking a method with argumentCollection. I thought that perhaps I could use the spread operator instead. This works when the arguments are array-based; but, it does not work when the arguments are struct-based.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4489-spread-operator-cannot-replace-struct-based-argumentcollection-in-coldfusion.htm 7/19/23 Security Patch - Adobe ColdFusion Portal - RELEASED- ColdFusion 2023, 2021 and 2018 July 19th, 2023 Security UpdatesWe are pleased to announce that we have released the updates for the following ColdFusion versions:ColdFusion (2023 release) Update 3ColdFusion (2021 release) Update 9ColdFusion (2018 release) Update 19In these updates, we've fixed a few critical security bugs mentioned in the security bulletin, APSB23-47.https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2023/07/released-coldfusion-2023-2021-and-2018-july-19th-2023-security-updates/ 7/17/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Adobe ColdFusion Elvis Operator Struggles With Nested Array ReferencesIn Lucee CFML, the Elvis Operator (null coalescing operator) is quite powerful. In fact, it can often replace the Safe Navigation operator when access values on deeply-nested structures. In contrast, the Elvis Operator in Adobe ColdFusion is much more problematic. And, in fact, I just ran into another rough edge in the ACF implementation. It seems that the Elvis operator has trouble with nested array references.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4488-adobe-coldfusion-elvis-operator-struggles-with-nested-array-references.htm 7/16/23 - Blog - James Moberg - createIsoString() - A ColdFusion User-Defined Function (UDF) to replace dateTimeFormat("iso")Since 1999's release of ColdFusion 4, a built-in dateConvert function has been available to convert local to UTC time and vice-versa. getTimeZoneInfo has also been available to retrieve only the local time zone based on system settings. This functions are beneficial, but I'm not sure why it's limited to only supporting local time.Lucee's getTimeZoneInfo function added support for timezone and locale back in May 2016. This function is a lot more useful that Adobe's.https://dev.to/gamesover/createisostring-a-coldfusion-user-defined-function-udf-to-replace-datetimeformatiso-2p15 7/14/23 - Security Patch - Adobe ColdFusion Portal - RELEASED- ColdFusion 2023, 2021 and 2018 July 14th, 2023 Security UpdatesWe are pleased to announce that we have released the updates for the following ColdFusion versions:ColdFusion (2023 release) Update 2ColdFusion (2021 release) Update 8ColdFusion (2018 release) Update 18In these updates, we've fixed a few security bugs mentioned in the security bulletin, APSB23-41.https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2023/07/released-coldfusion-2023-2021-and-2018-july-14th-2023-security-updates/ 7/11/23 - Security Patch - Adobe ColdFusion Portal - ColdFusion 2023, 2021, and 2018 July 2023 Security UpdatesWe are pleased to announce that we have released the updates for the following ColdFusion versions:ColdFusion (2023 release) Update 1ColdFusion (2021 release) Update 7ColdFusion (2018 release) Update 17In these updates, we've fixed a few security bugs mentioned in the security bulletin, APSB23-40.https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2023/07/coldfusion-2023-2021-2018-july-2023-security-updates/ 7/7/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Adobe ColdFusion Returns NULL Dates As NULL When Using CFQuery ReturnType "Array"Historically in ColdFusion, when you return a NULL date from the database, the CFQuery tag translates that NULL date as [empty string]. This has always made it quite easy to manage dates in the application logic because all you need to do is pass the value into the isDate() decision function before you use it. In recent years, the CFQuery tag has added a returnType attribute that allows the database recordset to be returned as either an Array-of-Structs or a Column-based Struct (Lucee CFML only). Unfortunately, when returning the query as an Array, Adobe ColdFusion no longer translates NULL dates into empty-strings.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4483-adobe-coldfusion-returns-null-dates-as-null-when-using-cfquery-returntype-array.htm CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 83 ColdFusion positions from 54 companies across 39 locations in 5 Countries.7 new jobs listed this monthFull-Time - Front End and ColdFusion Developer at Virginia - United States Posted: Jul 18https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/Front-End-and-ColdFusion-Developer-at-Virginia/11591 Full-Time - Senior Software Engineer - ColdFusion at Baner, Pune, Mahara.. - India Posted: Jul 15https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/india/Senior-Software-Engineer-ColdFusion-at-Baner-Pune-Maharashtra/11590 Full-Time - Sr. Tech Lead - ColdFusion at Baner, Pune, Maharashtra - India Posted: Jul 15https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/india/Sr-Tech-Lead-ColdFusion-at-Baner-Pune-Maharashtra/11589 Full-Time - ColdFusion Developer at Remote - United States Posted: Jul 14https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/ColdFusion-Developer-at-Remote/11588 Full-Time - Remote Coldfusion Developer – 3 – 6 Month Contract at Nottin.. - United Kingdom Posted: Jul 12https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-kingdom/Remote-Coldfusion-Developer-3-6-Month-Contract-at-Nottingham/11587 Full-Time - Java/ColdFusion Developer (Remote) at Reston, VA - United States Posted: Jul 10https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/JavaColdFusion-Developer-Remote-at-Reston-VA/11586 Full-Time - Lucee/ColdFusion Developer at United States - United States Posted: Jul 07https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/LuceeColdFusion-Developer-at-United-States/11585 Other Job LinksThere is a jobs channel in the CFML slack team, and in the Box team slack now tooForgeBox Module of the WeekMegaphone by Eric PetersonA protocol-based library for sending Notifications in ColdBoxhttps://www.forgebox.io/view/megaphone VS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the WeekPostmanExtension for Visual Studio Code - Streamline API development and testing with the power of Postman, directly in your favorite IDE.https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Postman.postman-for-vscode Thank you to all of our Patreon SupportersThese individuals are personally supporting our open source initiatives to ensure the great toolings like CommandBox, ForgeBox, ColdBox,  ContentBox, TestBox and all the other boxes keep getting the continuous development they need, and funds the cloud infrastructure at our community relies on like ForgeBox for our Package Management with CommandBox.

There were never first-class settings for it in CommandBox so you would have had to use the runwar.args setting to activate. It also required you to include the MariaDB4j jars yourself in the classpath. (Note this is separate from the MariaDB CommandBox module 4 Jan Janek made).The settings it supported were: enable port base directory data directory SQL file to import So my question is, does anyone use the built in MariaDB4j integration in Runwar? If I removed it, would anyone care? If I put in first-class settings and documented it, would people use it? Does it sound useful? Worthless?https://community.ortussolutions.com/t/mariadb4j-support-in-commandbox-runwar/9666 ICYMI - Adobe ColdFusion 2023 released!!!!We are thrilled to announce the highly anticipated release of Adobe ColdFusion 2023!  Packed with cutting-edge features and enhanced performance, this release takes ColdFusion to new heights of innovation.Experience accelerated development, robust security measures, and seamless integration with modern technologies.

But did you know there are in fact several ways to deploy CF (or Lucee), including ways to run CFML without even needing to do that? In this session, veteran CF consultant Charlie Arehart will identify these, starting first with WHY it's useful to have different ways to be able to deploy CF/Lucee and CFML.Then he will discuss and demonstrate those several ways--whether you prefer to run CF on your own machine or another (whether hosted or in the cloud), to include even being able to run CFML WITHOUT need of CF (or Lucee) to be "installed" at all. He will cover such topics as installers (GUI and console-based), silent installation (and updates), Commandbox, WAR file deployment, container-based (Docker/Kubernetes) deployment, serverless deployment, as well as CLI-based execution of CFML, and execution via cffiddle and trycf, among others.Buckle up, buttercup, for a fast tour of this varied landscape.https://www.meetup.com/coldfusionmeetup/events/293987033/ "OctoPerf: The Load Testing Tool for Modern Web Apps", Guillaume BetailloulouxThursday June 15th at 12pm US Eastern Time, UTC-4:OctoPerf offers an integrated development Interface that you can use from any browser to execute load tests against your application.

The domain model for this blog isn't very big, so configuring the application right in the onApplicationStart() event-handler isn't much of a lift. That said, as a fun code kata - as much as anything else - I wanted to start migrating the configuration over to use more declarative dependencies. To that end, I wanted to build myself a simple dependency injection (DI) container.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4469-code-kata-simple-dependency-injection-di-with-coldfusion.htm 6/1/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - The 16th Annual Regular Expression Day - June 1st 2023It's that time of year again! The days are getting longer; the weather is getting nicer; the babies are all being born at the zoo; and, people are going bonkers over the undeniable power of Regular Expression pattern matching! Which must mean, it's Regular Expression Day! This is the time of year in which we take a moment to reflect on how much better off we are having patterns in our lives. And in celebration of that, I'm going to learn something new about using Regular Expressions in JavaScript: named capture groups.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4471-the-16th-annual-regular-expression-day-june-1st-2023.htm 6/3/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Using Nested Locks To Synchronize Background Data Cleanup In ColdFusionAs I'm building out the Dig Deep Fitness MVP, I'm having to implement functionality that I might ordinarily implement in a more robust fashion given better resources (ie, when someone else is paying for the servers). For example, I would normally use Redis to build a one-time token service. But, when writing the same functionality exclusively in ColdFusion, I have to get a little more low-level when implementing the locking (that Redis would normally apply). Specifically, I wanted to think about how to handle locking when I have a background process that needs to clean-up and expunge expired data.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4472-using-nested-locks-to-synchronize-background-data-cleanup-in-coldfusion.htm 6/5/23 - Tweet - HTMX.org - HTMX threw some shade on Allaire ColdFusion - let's speak up!how many young web developers today can even conceive of a world so based that technology logos could look like this & nobody cringed?people wore this stuff on tee shirts, unembarassed, walking around, living in the moment, high fivingnever forget what they took from youhttps://twitter.com/htmx_org/status/1665728145511657476?s=20.6/6/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Building A Magic Link Passwordless Login In ColdFusionAs I build out the Dig Deep Fitness MVP (Minimum Viable Product), I'm trying to do the least amount of work that allows me to start delivering actual value. So, when it comes to user authentication, I didn't want to create a robust account management system. Instead, I ended up building a passwordless login system using magic links. I wanted to share my approach in ColdFusion in case anyone has suggestions on how to improve it or harden it against attacks.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4473-building-a-magic-link-passwordless-login-in-coldfusion.htm 6/6/23 - Blog - Michael Born - Ortus Solutions - Introducing: The Ortus ORM ExtensionWe are excited to announce the Ortus ORM Extension, a new effort to improve the CFML ecosystem by modernizing Hibernate ORM support on the Lucee CFML server.

They have a free-tier, so I signed up to try it out. And, I must say, I'm very pleased with the User Interface (UI) and the basic functionality. That said, I could not get the Java SDK (Software Development Kit) working with JavaLoader. As such, I hacked together some ColdFusion code that would do just enough to send data to the BugSnag API. What I have is far from feature complete; but, I thought it might be worth sharing.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4462-using-bugsnag-as-a-server-side-logging-service-in-coldfusion.htm 5/11/23 - Blog - Luis Majano - TestBox v5.0.0 Released!We are excited to announce the release of Testbox version 5, which brings a host of new features and improvements for developers.

November 1998), and CFMX_COMPAT was the only algorithm available.  The release of ColdFusion 7 (ca. February 2005) added native support for AES, 3DES, DES, and Blowfish.  But CFMX_COMPAT remains the default algorithm used by the encrypt() function.   https://hoyahaxa.blogspot.com/2023/05/why-you-dont-want-to-use-cfmxcompat.html 5/13/23 - Blog - Nolan Erck - Speaking at Into The Box 2023It's official...next week I'll be speaking at Into The Box in Houston!If you're not already familiar with it, Into The Box is the most modern leaning conference for CFML!

For the last few years, I've been using jSoup to clean-up and normalize my blog posts. And now, I'm looking to use jSoup to help me transform and cache GitHub Gists. At the time of this writing, Gist code is rendered in an HTML with cells that use white-space: pre as the means of controlling white space output. jSoup doesn't parse the CSS; so, it does understand that it needs to maintain this white space when serializing the document back into HTML. If we want to keep this white space in the resultant document, we have to disable pretty printing.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4463-maintaining-white-space-using-jsoup-and-coldfusion.htm5/16/23 - Blog - Adobe ColdFusion Portal - Introducing the 2023 Release of Adobe ColdFusionWe are thrilled to announce the highly anticipated release of Adobe ColdFusion 2023!  Packed with cutting-edge features and enhanced performance, this release takes ColdFusion to new heights of innovation.https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2023/05/coldfusion2023-release/ 5/16/23 - Blog - Luis Majano - Ortus Solutions - ColdBox 7.0.0 ReleasedIntroducing ColdBox 7: Revolutionizing Web Development with Cutting-Edge Features and Unparalleled PerformanceWe are thrilled to announce the highly anticipated release of ColdBox 7, the latest version of the acclaimed web development HMVC framework for ColdFusion (CFML).

This has been working great; but, I've never liked the idea of having to reach out to a 3rd-party system at render time in order to provide my full content experience. As such, I've been considering ways to cache the GitHub Gist data locally (in my system) for both better control and better performance. Unfortunately, GitHub Gists aren't provided in the most user-friendly format. To that end, we can use jSoup in ColdFusion to read-in, parse, and normalize the Gist contents.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4464-parsing-github-gist-embeds-into-a-normalized-data-structure-using-jsoup-in-coldfusion.htm 5/16/23 - Blog - Nolan Erck - My Into The Box 2023 ScheduleInto The Box 2023 starts tomorrow!

For more on the many features, see the following several Adobe blog posts and substantial documentation resources they released also today, about which I offer some additional comment below.I also discuss changes in OS support (saving you having to compare the docs discussing that), as well as the change to CF2023 running on Java 17 (which you could miss, as it's not highlighted by Adobe in any of the announcement resources.) I also discuss changes in the licensing document/EULA (again, to save you having to do that comparison), as well as an observation about pricing (it has not changed since CF2021).I also discuss some migration considerations and close by pointing out the Hidden Gems in CF2023 talk that I did, based on the prerelase. I plan to update that in time based on this final release.https://www.carehart.org/blog/2023/5/17/cf2023_released/ 5/18/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Using CSS Flexbox To Create A Simple Bar Chart In ColdFusionI'm a huge fan of CSS Flexbox layouts. They're relatively simple to use and there's not much to remember in terms of syntax. One place that I love using Flexbox is when I need to create a simple bar chart. I don't do much charting in my work, so I never have need to pull in large, robust libraries like D3. But, for simple one-off visualizations, CSS Flexbox is my jam. I thought it might be worth sharing a demo of how I do this in ColdFusion.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4466-using-css-flexbox-to-create-a-simple-bar-chart-in-coldfusion.htm 5/18/23 - Blog - Charlie Arehart - FusionReactor 10 released, May 18: resources and thoughtsIf you're using FusionReactor, note that a new version 10 (10.0.0) released yesterday, May 18.

This can greatly simplify development and troubleshooting in a wide variety of situations. You can:Develop on the same operating system you deploy to or use larger, faster, or more specialized hardware than your local machine.Quickly swap between different, remote development environments and safely make updates without worrying about impacting your local machine.Access an existing development environment from multiple machines or locations.Debug an application running somewhere else such as a customer site or in the cloud.No source code needs to be on your local machine to gain these benefits since the extension runs commands and other extensions directly on the remote machine. You can open any folder on the remote machine and work with it just as you would if the folder were on your own machine.https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-sshWorks well with: Visual Studio Code Remote - SSH: Editing Configuration Fileshttps://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh-edit Thank you to all of our Patreon SupportersThese individuals are personally supporting our open source initiatives to ensure the great toolings like CommandBox, ForgeBox, ColdBox,  ContentBox, TestBox and all the other boxes keep getting the continuous development they need, and funds the cloud infrastructure at our community relies on like ForgeBox for our Package Management with CommandBox.

I'm going back to writing my data-gateways using Tags so that I can use the majestic CFQuery tag. I hate having to have all the other cruft; but, until ACF gets "Tag Islands"(Dig into replies for the rationale and a qb mention)https://twitter.com/BenNadel/status/16544396125493248015/6/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - On Starting A Side-Project: Hotwire vs. AngularFor the last few months, I've been digging into the Hotwire framework. I was initially drawn to Hotwire on its promise of allowing me to build a SPA (Single-Page Application)-like experience using an MPA (Multi-Page Application); and, to do so with less effort. After several months of creating demos and migrating this ColdFusion blog over to using Hotwire, I feel like I have a much better sense of how Turbo Drive, Turbo Streams, and Stimulus work. But, I'm not quite sure that I want to use Hotwire when I start my next side-project.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4458-on-starting-a-side-project-hotwire-vs-angular.htm5/7/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Importing Multiple ColdFusion Custom Tag Directories Using The Same PrefixOne of the nice things you can do with ColdFusion custom tags is import a given directory of custom tags into a "prefix". This allows custom tags to be aliased in the CFML markup; which is a technique that I use quite heavily in my Domain Specific Language (DSL) for generating Emails. One additional feature that I just learned about this prefixing functionality is that you can import multiple directories under the same prefix.As I try to decide if I'm going to start my next project in Hotwire or Angular, one idea that I'm playing with is creating a design system using ColdFusion custom tags. Essentially, I want to be able to take some of the UI (User Interface) encapsulation techniques that I learned in Angular and apply them to Hotwire.In Angular, I have my design system organized into different folders so that I don't end up with a hundred files in one place. Hoping to do the same thing with my ColdFusion design system, I wanted to see if I could aggregate different custom tags under the same prefix.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4460-importing-multiple-coldfusion-custom-tag-directories-using-the-same-prefix.htm5/7/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - ColdFusion Custom Tags Can Use Dashed AttributesThis morning, I was playing around with a ColdFusion custom tag that would encapsulate the rendering of a menu. Part of this encapsulation involved propagating attributes from the ColdFusion custom tag onto the underlying Select element. As such, I randomly tried to pass a data- attribute into the ColdFusion custom tag; and, it worked! I didn't know that this was possible with ColdFusion custom tags. Furthermore, it appears to work in both Lucee CFML and Adobe ColdFusion!https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4459-coldfusion-custom-tags-can-use-dashed-attributes.htmBONUS:Ha…the Updates4Devs bot strikes again.Custom Tags -> Personalized TagsDashed-Attribute -> Rushed Characteristics

What is needed is to add a JVM argument to the server. In my case I am using Ortus CommandBox and their ‘server.json' definition. I added this in the ‘jvm' section:```"jvm":{    "args":[        "-Dcoldfusion.datemask.useDasdayofmonth=true"    ]}```That's the only change that is needed; the mentioned JAR hotfix is not needed.

Instead of copy/pasting the same chunks of coded into various places, you can have a JavaScript/HTML expert focus on getting the UX correct, without them needing to worry about what's happening in the back-end at all.Web Components offer reusable functionality on the front-end, with native JavaScript. They are a great middle-ground between standard request/response based traditional web applications, and apps that aren't quite ready to move to a full-on JavaScript SPA framework. Web Components themselves are 100% native JavaScript - no new libraries required! Let's learn how Web Components work, then look at integrating them into a back-end like CFML or PHP -- I promise it's easier than you think!https://www.meetup.com/sacinteractive/events/292762638/ Recording: TBDCFCasts Content Updateshttps://www.cfcasts.comNew FeaturesSearch is now powered by ElasticSearch with drastically increased search relevance.Recent Releases Mastering CommandBox 5 - 3 new videos - https://cfcasts.com/series/mastering-commandbox-5 JVM Args as Array Request Dumper X-Forwarded-For Support 2023 ForgeBox Module of the Week Series - 1 new Video https://cfcasts.com/series/2023-forgebox-modules-of-the-week  2023 VS Code Hint tip and Trick of the Week Series - 1 new Video https://cfcasts.com/series/2023-vs-code-hint-tip-and-trick-of-the-week  Just added 2019 Into the Box Videos Watch sessions from previous ITB years Into the Box 2022 - https://cfcasts.com/series/itb-2022  Into the Box 2021 - https://cfcasts.com/series/into-the-box-2021  Into the Box 2020 - https://cfcasts.com/series/itb-2020  Into the Box 2019 - https://cfcasts.com/series/into-the-box-2019  Coming Soon Brad with more CommandBox Videos More ForgeBox and VS Code Podcast snippet videos ColdBox Elixir from Eric Getting Started with Inertia.js from Eric Conferences and TrainingVS Code Day April 26, 2023 - 10AM - 4PM PT TOMORROW!!VS Code Day is our annual event where you'll learn how to elevate your development workflow using the latest and greatest features of VS Code.

For more on each of them, including what changed and the security fixes they each contain (including their CVE scores regarding urgency of concerns), see the Oracle resources I list below. Oracle calls them "critical patch updates" (yep, CPU), but they are in fact scheduled quarterly updates, so that "critical" nomenclature may sometimes be a bit overstated. And as is generally the case with these Java updates, most of them have the same changes and fixes across the versions as each other, though not always.https://www.carehart.org/blog/2023/4/18/java_updates_Apr_2023 4/18/23 - Blog - Charlie Arehart - An interesting pair of anniversaries for my blog: 600 posts, over 17 years this monthAfter I posted my last entry, I happened to notice that it was exactly my 600th post here at carehart.org/blog.

On today's episode, we go hard in the other direction, talking about the much less mythical -10x engineer: those engineers that seem to actively work in opposition to the greater good, holding unnecessary meetings and flooding the team with a massive amount of documentation. This discussion was directly inspired by the post, How to be a -10x engineer.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4451-working-code-podcast-episode-123-negative-10x-developers.htm 4/24/23 - Blog - Ortus Solutions - Into the Box - Hackathon added to Happy BoxDuring the first day of Into the Box Conference 2023; on May 18th, we're hosting a Happy Box Party where attendees can connect and network with one another.

It's a hot take on building complex systems by systems theorist, John Gall. The law resonates deeply with me; and, I wanted to pull it out into its own post so that I could share it more easily:A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. The inverse proposition also appears to be true: a complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be made to work. You have to start over, beginning with a simple system.— John Gallhttps://www.bennadel.com/blog/4452-john-galls-law-on-building-complex-systems.htm 4/24/23 - Blog - Charlie Arehart - New look for CArehart.org, especially better for the blog on mobileOK, so in my last post (celebrating my 600th post and 17th year blogging here) I happened to admit that the site still looked like it was from 2006--that's actually the year of the blogcfc 5.005 version that I based it on...and I never really changed the "look and feel" much.Until this weekend...and it may not be noticeable to all, but I suspect some things will stand out to regular readers, starting with....https://www.carehart.org/blog/2023/4/24/new_look_for_site_and_especially_mobile 4/25/23 - Blog - Charlie Arehart - Delighted to be speaking at CFCamp 2023I'm delighted to announce that I've been selected to speak at CFCamp 2023, in Munich this June.

In that discussion, she mentioned the Beacon API as a means to efficiently and predictably send analytics data back to the server. I had never heard of the Beacon API before; but, it sounded like something that would be very helpful in customer-facing applications (where delivering metrics and analytics is key for a product's continuous improvement). As such, I thought I would experiment with using the navigator.sendBeacon() method to publish analytics data back to my ColdFusion server.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4444-using-navigator-sendbeacon-to-publish-analytics-back-to-coldfusion.htmhttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/sendBeacon4/10/23 - Slides - Brian (@hoyahaxa) - Slides from ColdFusion Summit East 2023 - "Codes, Ciphers, and ColdFusion: What They Don't Want You To Know"I spoke at ColdFusion Summit East 2023 last week.  I was fortunate to catch some good talks and Springtime in Washington, DC is always a great time to visit.  My talk was on ColdFusion and Encryption -- what to use, what not to use, and how to securely implement encryption into your applications.  I've shared my slides below, and I plan to turn the content into a few forthcoming blog posts.  https://hoyahaxa.blogspot.com/2023/04/slides-from-coldfusion-summit-east-2023.htmlCFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 57 ColdFusion positions from 36 companies across 28 locations in 5 Countries.1 new jobs listed this weekFull-Time - ColdFusion Developer - Remote, United States - General Dynamics Information TechnologyPosted Apr 10https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/ColdFusionDev-Remote/11562Other Job LinksThere is a jobs channel in the CFML slack team, and in the Box team slack now tooForgeBox Module of the WeekCFML Jupyter KernelThis is a module you can drop into your coldbox to get a nicely formatted overview of the tasks that were registered using the coldbox scheduler.This module should be considered experimental, so use at your own risk until further development has been done.https://jasonsteinshouer.com/introducing-cfml-jupyter-kernel.htmlhttps://github.com/jsteinshouer/cfml-jupyter-kernelhttps://mybinder.org/v2/gh/jsteinshouer/cfml-jupyter-kernel/main?urlpath=/treeVS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the WeekVisual Studio Code and GitHub CopilotUpdates in March 2023v1 was basically fancy autocomplete.v2 has chat capabilities to edit existing code and get help configuring VSCode itself.https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2023/03/30/vscode-copilotThank you to all of our Patreon SupportersThese individuals are personally supporting our open source initiatives to ensure the great toolings like CommandBox, ForgeBox, ColdBox,  ContentBox, TestBox and all the other boxes keep getting the continuous development they need, and funds the cloud infrastructure at our community relies on like ForgeBox for our Package Management with CommandBox.

The specific Chromebook is a Lenovo S330.My pre-requisite is that you've got a Lucee/ColdFusion application ready to go, although basically you could start from scratch with a simple index.cfm file wherever you eventually start CommandBox, but let's leave that for later.https://recantha.co.uk/chromebook-cfml-development-environment-tutorial/Good guide for any Linux machine.3/22/23 - Blog - James Moberg - Generate Sanitized Email Hash (as Integer)While reviewing the logs of failed contact form submissions, I identified a couple email address variations that were exploiting some Gmail features in an attempt to bypass our filters. (Gmail has a "plus" feature and ignores periods in addresses.) A SQL query using REPLACE to remove all periods revealed that this comment form spammer had performed 279 attempts using 162 variations of their 15 character gmail username in an effort to circumvent our filters. We log the full email address that was posted and, when matching via SQL solely using the email addresses, it appeared as each email address was only used 2-4 times... versus the 279 obfuscated attempts.To better identify & highlight abusers via SQL queries, an EmailHash (INT) column has been added to the database table. When searching or logging the email address, the value is sanitized (remove + string and . from the username) and then a java hashCode is generated. Using integers to join database records is much faster than using varchar and has lower storage requirements.https://dev.to/gamesover/generate-sanitized-email-hash-as-integer-4n3e3/22/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Russian Doll Content Wrapping With CFSaveContent In ColdFusionIn web development, the term "Russian Doll" is sometimes used to refer to content that is wrapped inside another piece of content of the same type. This is based on the Russian Doll toy (Matryoshka), which has a multitude of smaller toys contained within it. In the past, I've looked at using the Russian Doll pattern for error handling in Node.js as well as for error handling in ColdFusion. But, its value extends beyond just errors - I often use the CFSaveContent tag to build up a content payload from the outside in. And, I thought it would make for a nice example.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4431-russian-doll-content-wrapping-with-cfsavecontent-in-coldfusion.htmColdBox Layouts and Views!3/23/23 - Discourse - Brad Wood - Is Using CommandBox to run Adobe ColdFusion sites safe in production? There were some excellent questions asked on CFML Slack today, and I wanted to get the answers to them out on our community forum where they could benefit the larger community (and Google). In a nutshell, these were the concerns:When I'm using CommandBox, am I really using “Adobe ColdFusion” or am I getting a “copy” of Adobe ColdFusion from the Ortus site?We have an Adobe Support Contract and will Adobe provide support for my CommandBox installation?CommandBox is not using Tomcat, but JBoss Undertow. Will it be capable of managing the load of a production site?These are great questions, and one any Enterprise would want answered before committing to CommandBox. Let's go through them categorically.https://community.ortussolutions.com/t/is-using-commandbox-to-run-adobe-coldfusion-sites-safe-in-production/9581/13/29/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Getting FusionReactor User Experience Monitoring (UEM) To Play Nicely With Content Security Policy (CSP) In ColdFusionFor the past few days, I've been digging into some network latency issues on my blog. And, in response to some of my public messaging on the topic, David Tattersall suggested that I look into FusionReactor's User Experience Monitoring (UEM). Whereas FusionReactor's Java agent provides server-side insights and confidence, the UEM module is designed to shed light on the end-user experience (UX). After all, the server-side leg is only part of the journey. Getting UEM up-and-running is easy; but, out of the box, it doesn't play very nicely with my Content Security Policy. As such, I wanted to share how I got it working on my ColdFusion blog.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4436-getting-fusionreactor-user-experience-monitoring-uem-to-play-nicely-with-content-security-policy-csp-in-coldfusion.htmCFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 55 ColdFusion positions from 35 companies across 28 locations in 5 Countries.2 new jobs listed this weekFull-Time - Senior Application Developer at Aurora, IL - United StatesPosted Mar 24https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/SeniorAppDev-Aurora-IL/11559Contract - Coldfusion Developer at Jacksonville, FL - United StatesPosted Mar 24https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/CFDeveloper-Jacksonville-FL/11558Other Job LinksThere is a jobs channel in the CFML slack team, and in the Box team slack now tooForgeBox Module of the WeekChatGPT APIBy Matt GiffordA ColdFusion CFC to interact with the chatgpt APIInstantiate the core component chatgpt.cfc and pass in the required properties like so:var chat = new chatgpt(    apiKey = 'xx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx');ExampleUse chatgpt to create:var resp = chat.chatCompletion(model='gpt-3.5-turbo',messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Write me a poem about a summer day with popcorn and unicorns"}]);https://forgebox.io/view/chatgptVS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the WeekGrammarlyThis extension brings Grammarly to VS Code.Grammarly leads the industry in building AI-enabled services to help people communicate effectively every day.

Since I haven't explored these latter behaviors yet, I wanted to put together a quick demo using Lucee CFML.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4422-styling-submit-buttons-during-form-submission-with-hotwire-and-lucee-cfml.htm3/12/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Rendering A Fly-Out Form Panel Using Turbo Frames With Hotwire And Lucee CFMLWhen using Hotwire to progressively enhance "normal" ColdFusion pages, the process is quite seamless: as long as you're returning a non-200 status code on failed form submissions, everything just works! It's only when you start transcluding forms from one page into another page that things get tricky. This is doubly-true when the transcluded form is transient, such as with a modal window or a fly-out panel. To start getting comfortable with this concept, I wanted to try and render a form inside a fly-out panel in a Hotwire enhanced ColdFusion application.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4424-rendering-a-fly-out-form-panel-using-turbo-frames-with-hotwire-and-lucee-cfml.htm 3/13/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Using "return" To Short-Circuit A CFML Template In ColdFusionAt work, we use Framework One (FW/1) to route and render our ColdFusion requests. As such, our "controller layer" is implemented as a series of ColdFusion components (CFCs). And, since each request maps to a method invocation on said components, I'm used to using a return statement when short-circuiting my controller actions. Yesterday, when working on my Hotwire + ColdFusion demos - which uses simple CFML templates as its controller layer - I accidentally used a return statement to short-circuit the control flow. And it worked!

Most of my explorations so far have revolved around Turbo and progressively enhancing a ColdFusion application. As such, I didn't have much to offer in the way of advice. In order to help flesh out my mental model for Stimulus controllers, I wanted to put together a demo that explores a few different ways to communicate between a child controller and a parent controller in a Hotwire application.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4426-using-nested-stimulus-controllers-with-hotwire-and-lucee-cfml.htm CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 52 ColdFusion positions from 32 companies across 25 locations in 5 Countries.1 new job listed this weekFull-Time - Full Stack ColdFusion/Lucee Developer (Remote) at Vancouver.. - Canada Posted Mar 08https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/canada/FullStackCFDev-Remote-at-Vancouver-BC/11557Other Job Links- There is a jobs channel in the CFML slack team, and in the Box team slack now tooForgeBox Module of the WeekAmazon S3 SDK v5.5.2+76By Ortus SolutionsThis SDK allows you to add Amazon S3, Digital Ocean Spaces capabilities to your ColdFusion (CFML) applications.

For the most part, this value is either never set (which then uses the default timeout defined in the ColdFusion admin); or, it's set once at the top of the request. Sometimes, however, I run into situations where I need to dynamically update the timeout of the current page. Unfortunately, the CFSetting tag doesn't support this; as such, I wanted to outline ways in which this can be hacked into the request in either Adobe ColdFusion or Lucee CFML.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4405-extending-the-current-request-timeout-in-coldfusion-cfml.htmRelated: https://ortussolutions.atlassian.net/browse/COLDBOX-1188?jql=text%20~%20%22requesttimeout%222/11/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Exploring Turbo Drive Back-Button Caching Behavior In Lucee CFMLWhen you enable Hotwire Turbo Drive in your ColdFusion application, link clicks and form submissions are intercepted and then subsequently executed via the fetch() API. Hotwire continues to maintain expected browser behaviors by pushing the relevant URLs onto the browser's History API. Then, if the user presses the Back Button, Turbo Drive pulls the previous rendering out of its cache and restores the previous content and scroll offset. In this post, I want to take a closer look at when the page cache is populated; and, what events get triggered when a cached page is re-rendered.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4404-exploring-turbo-drive-back-button-caching-behavior-in-lucee-cfml.htm2/13/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Using Stimulus To Preload Links On Hover In Hotwire And Lucee CFMLFrom what I've been reading, when building a Stimulus controller in Hotwire, the key to success is thinking in terms of small, composable behaviors. So, instead of creating a controller that manages an entire View, we should seek to extract aspects of said view that might make sense in a wider variety of use-cases. To practice this mindset, I wanted to try building a Stimulus controller that will preload a given link target if the user hovers over an element for some period of time. And, of course, we'll be doing this in Lucee CFML.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4407-using-stimulus-to-preload-links-on-hover-in-hotwire-and-lucee-cfml.htmAs before, if Ben's experiments with Hotwire interest you, also check out CBWire (https://cbwire.ortusbooks.com/) by Ortus Solutions.  And if you prefer to write your views in JavaScript, check out cbInertia (https://forgebox.io/view/cbInertia) by Ortus Solutions.2/8/23 - Blog - Zac Spitzer - Lucee 5.3.10.120 Stable ReleaseFollowing up on the initial 5.3.10.97 release, our second 5.3.10 release is mostly about further improving the `configImport()` support and minor bug fixes, including fixing installing extensions via an environment variable.LDEV-2871 - When there aren't any debugging logs, show debugging statusLDEV-2900 - adding to cookie scope doesn't inherit application cfcookie tag defaultsLDEV-3720 - Log trace of cflocation and allow option to AbortLDEV-4261 - build must always display Caused by: sections of java stacktracesLDEV-4297 - NPE lucee.runtime.config.ConfigWebUtil.loadAddionalConfig(ConfigWebUtil.java:783)LDEV-4289 - configImport isn't importing s3 mappingsLDEV-4306 1 - SetLocale(“English (UK)") does not set United Kingdom locale.LDEV-4307 2 - ConfigImport extremely slowLDEV-4338 - Admin - (Services - Cache) creating cache throws the errorLDEV-4381 1 - admin: "column name [otherVersions] already exist;lucee.runtime.exp.DatabaseException: column name [otherVersions] already existhttps://dev.lucee.org/t/lucee-5-3-10-120-stable-release/121112/6/23 - Blog - Eric Peterson - Ortus Solutions - qb 9.0.0 ReleasedA new major release of qb is now available on ForgeBox!

According to David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH), the Turbo family of features should get you 90% of the way through your application development. But, that last 10% of features needs to be implemented with custom JavaScript. And for this, Hotwire provides Stimulus controllers; or, what the Rails community refers to as "JavaScript sprinkles". To start looking at Stimulus, I wanted to create a demo that takes a ColdFusion provided UTC millisecond value and renders it in the user's local timezone.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4401-rendering-a-local-timestamp-with-stimulus-using-hotwire-and-lucee-cfml.htm 2/6/23 - Blog - Charlie Arehart - New URL for signing up to the CFML Slack: cfml-slack.netTLDR; the URL for joining the CFML Slack workspace and channels has changed.

Hotwire takes that concept a step further with Turbo Streams. In response to a POST form submission, a series of elements can define multiple, independent mutations that Hotwire will perform on the currently rendered view. I wanted to explore the Turbo Streams mechanics in Lucee CFML.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4400-dynamically-updating-views-with-turbo-streams-using-hotwire-and-lucee-cfml.htm  1/31/23 - Blog - Luis Majano - Ortus Solutions - CBSecurity 3 ReleasedWe are incredibly excited to release CBSecurity 3.

However, you still need to get the HTML and class names correct which means referencing the web site, perhaps copying and pasting and so on. This is fine but if you're more at home with JSON than CSS, this time spent can feel like diving into another language.UIME components accept a JSON object with some required keys and return the boiler plate HTML from the Bootstrap 5 library.

(Note that prior to Java 9, releases of Java were known technically as 1.x, so 8 is referred to in resources below as 1.8.)https://www.carehart.org/blog/2023/1/17/java_updates_Jan_2023 ICYMI and CLARIFICATION: Beware that latest Oracle JDK installers will REMOVE older JDK installs of that versionHere's something new to beware if you may run the Oracle JDK installer for the recently updated Java 11 or 17, whether on Windows, macOS, or via RPM: the new Oracle jdk installer WILL REMOVE any older previous versions of that JVM version created by previous JDK installers of the same major version. (Note that this issue does not affect those who implement java by extracting it from a compressed file, like a zip or tar.gz.)Fortunately for some, this issue does NOT affect those running Java 8 or below, or Java 19 or abovehttps://www.carehart.org/blog/2023/1/23/beware_latest_oracle_JDK_installers_will_remove_older_JDK_installs Clarification from Charlie regarding the Podcast discussion of this post last week: Brad said that this behavior is “not new”, and I have to say: that's not correct. As the post goes on to clarify, this change IS documented in last week's release notes for the Oracle JVM. I've updated my post with this new paragraph at the top to clarify that point:Since I posted this last night, I've heard some people assert "this is not new behavior: Java's always popped up and offered to remove old versions". Those folks are misunderstanding something: that was true of past JRE installers (like in Java 8 and earlier, which don't exist for Java 11), but it was never the case for Oracle JDK installers (even for Java 8). THAT's what's new about the JDK 11 and 17 installers, and it's DOCUMENTED in the release notes, as I discuss below. But it may surprise those who never saw a JDK installer do that, thus this post. (The rest of this post remains unchanged.)Thanks Charlie for Clarifiying!ICYMI - CBWire Poll about a CFCasts SeriesI'm in the planning stage of developing an ongoing video series for CBWIRE on https://cfcasts.com/.

And, one of the most attractive features is the ability to update a portion of the page using a full-page render. This works by scoping DOM (Document Object Model) changes to a given element. To see this in action, I wanted to create a simple slide show using Lucee CFML.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4398-a-simple-slide-show-using-hotwire-and-lucee-cfml.htm Creation Order:  LiveView created for Phoenix's for the Elixir language LiveWire is Laravel for PHP HotWire is Ruby on Rails for Ruby CBWire is our LiveWire implementation for ColdBox for ColdFusion Check our January CBWire Webinar from Grant to see it in action HTMX is another option which has grown over time - mentioned by a few CFMLs like Greg Alexander 1/29/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - OnRequestStart() / OnRequest() Methods Invoked Even If Requested Template Doesn't Exist In Lucee CFMLWhile setting up my ColdFusion and Hotwire Demos project, I stumbled upon an application behavior that is unique to Lucee CFML (as opposed to Adobe ColdFusion). Historically, with ColdFusion, attempting to request a .cfm file that doesn't exist would result in a "Missing Template" error; or, if defined, would trigger the onMissingTemplate() event handler. This was true regardless of the method defined in your Application.cfc framework component. In Lucee CFML, however, it seems that the onRequestStart() and onRequest() life-cycle method will be invoked even if the requested template doesn't exist. Which is awesome!https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4397-onrequeststart-onrequest-methods-invoked-even-if-requested-template-doesnt-exist-in-lucee-cfml.htm 1/29/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Setting Up My ColdFusion + Hotwire Demos PlaygroundA month ago, I started building a ColdFusion and Hotwire application as a learning experience. Only, once I finished the basic ColdFusion CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) features, I didn't really know how to go about applying the Hotwire functionality. I realized that I bit off more than I could chew; and, I needed to go back and start learning some of the Hotwire basics before I could build an app using the "Hotwire way". As such, I've started a new ColdFusion and Hotwire Demos project, where I intended to explore stand-alone aspects of the Hotwire framework.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4396-setting-up-my-coldfusion-hotwire-demos-playground.htm1/27/23 - Blog - Brad Wood - Improving Lucee's QoQ Support Again- now 200% fasterTwo years ago, I published this post detailing how I had refactored the Query of Query support in Lucee to be much better and also much faster:https://www.codersrevolution.com/blog/improving-lucees-query-of-query-support I removed the single-threaded HSQLDB callback for grouped/aggregate and distinct selects and tuned the performance.  QoQ's are a bit of a polarizing feature in CFML.  They've suffered in the past from poor support and poor performance which has caused a lot of people to avoid them.  There are certainly places where queryMap(), queryFilter(), and queryReduce() are the best approach, but there are also times where you simply can't beat the readability and conciseness of an ordered,  aggregated select.  I know developers who tell me they never use "reduce" higher order functions because they are too confusing, but I've never met a developer who didn't understand "GROUP BY department"! https://www.codersrevolution.com/blog/improving-lucees-qoq-support-again-now-200-faster 1/26/23 - Blog - Charlie Arehart - Be aware that ColdFusion 2018 end-of-life (and end of updates) is coming July 2023Are you still running ColdFusion 2018? Did you know that its end-of-life is July 13, 2023? That's the date that "core" support ends--meaning, no more updates from Adobe after that, not even security fixes.As for CF2021, it gets updates into 2025, and the currently running pre-release of CF2023 is a great sign for the continued vitality of CF. But this looming deadline for CF2018 is a reminder that as the years roll on, we not only get new versions but we must say good-bye to old ones.Wondering what you can do? or when CF2021 or CF2023 support will end also? And what's the difference between "core" and "extended" support Adobe sells? (The extended support plan does NOT provide updates beyond this coming July.) For more on these, including official Adobe documentation that discusses such things, as well as my thoughts on migration, costs, various options to consider, and more, do read on.https://www.carehart.org/blog/2023/1/26/coldfusion2018_end_of_life_july_2023 CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 48 ColdFusion positions from 29 companies across 23 locations in 5 Countries.2 new jobs listed this weekFull-Time - ColdFusion Developer at India - India Jan 30https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/india/ColdFusion-Developer-at-India/11552 Contract - Adobe ColdFusion Administrator at Alhambra, CA - United States Jan 26https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/CFAdminstrator-at-CA/11551 Other Job LinksThere is a jobs channel in the CFML slack team, and in the Box team slack now tooBrian Polackoff posted yesterday morning in the cfml-general channel that he is looking for 2-3 advanced CF programmers.

The other day, however, I had to build an administrative UI (user interface) that surfaced a tremendous amount of data - possibly hundreds-of-thousands of records. With so much data, standard pagination didn't seem like a meaningful solution. Instead, I switched over to using LIMIT and OFFSET in my MySQL, which allows the admin to page through the data one slice at a time. I don't use this technique that often, so I thought a ColdFusion demo would be fun.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4371-paging-through-data-using-limit-and-offset-in-mysql-and-coldfusion.htm 12/19/22 - Blog - Jim Preist - TheCrumb - Counting Lines of Code with clocSooner or later your project manager will approach you mumbling something about metrics, lines of code and accountability.Much like tabs vs spaces there are people who are both for and against using lines of code as some sort of measurement. I won't get into that argument but I will show you a fantastic tool to make this easy: cloccloc counts blank lines, comment lines, and physical lines of source code in many programming languages.It's available for Windows, Mac and Linux.https://www.thecrumb.com/posts/2022-12-19-counting-lines-of-code/ 12/19/22 - Blog - Ortus Solutions - The 12 Days of Christmas - ITB 2022 Video Release— Day 8 - Modern CFMLToday, Day 8's Videos from Into the Box 2022 Conference, 5 sessions on modern CFML concepts, including using Java with your CFML Apps, Aspect Oriented Programming, Web Components, Feature Flags and using Queues in CFML with Rabbit MQ.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/the-12-days-of-christmas-itb-2022-video-release-day-8-modern-cfml 12/19/22 - Blog - Ortus Solutions - Form Validation with CBWIREForm validation is something we as developers have to deal with all the time, and there are plenty of ways to go about it, some elegant and others not so much. ColdBox has a validation module called cbValidation for powerful form validation. We have this available to us in CBWIRE as well, which allows us to build forms with instant validation and messaging for the user without any page refreshing.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/form-validation-with-cbwire  12/18/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Using INSERT INTO SELECT To Duplicate Rows In MySQL And Lucee CFMLLast week, as part of a duplication workflow, I had to duplicate a bunch of rows in one table while changing one of the column values (think, the conceptual "foreign key" column). To do this, I used MySQL's INSERT INTO SELECT syntax which provides a bulk INSERT API that is powered by a SELECT statement. I'd never actually done this in a production application before; so, I thought it might be worth a quick MySQL and ColdFusion demo.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4370-using-insert-into-select-to-duplicate-rows-in-mysql-and-lucee-cfml.htm  12/16/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Breaking An IPv4 Address Range Up Into CIDR Ranges In Lucee CFML 5.3.9.141The other day, this blog was being attacked by a malicious actor in Australia. I identified 38 unique IP addresses that were all poking and prodding the application, looking for weaknesses. Thankfully, this caused zero issues for the site itself or its visitors. However, in the heat of the moment, as I was adding these IPs to Cloudflare's Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules, I realized that my understanding of how IP addresses work was quite lacking. I needed to create CIDR ranges for the WAF; but, wasn't sure how to do that. As such, I wanted to take a moment and play around with IP addresses, taking a given range and breaking it up into the tightest possible CIDR ranges in Lucee CFML.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4369-breaking-an-ipv4-address-range-up-into-cidr-ranges-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-9-141.htm 12/16/22 - Blog - Ortus Solutions - The 12 Days of Christmas - ITB 2022 Video Release— Day 7 - Reactive UIs - CBWire, VueJS and AlpineJSToday, Day 7's Videos from Into the Box 2022 Conference, 4 sessions related to reactive UIs, which are reacted with CBWire, VueJS and AlpineJS.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/the-12-days-of-christmas-itb-2022-video-release-day-7-reactive-uis-cbwire-vuejs-and-alpinejs 12/15/22 - Blog - Ortus Solutions - The 12 Days of Christmas - ITB 2022 Video Release— Day 6 - ContentBox Today, Day 6's Videos from Into the Box 2022 Conference, 3 sessions related to ContentBox.

As Adam explained to me, that's the time of the year in which we gather 'round the mics and talk about whatever the heck comes to mind. We just passed two years on the Working Code podcast - woot woot!, it's the holidays, and we've been peopling super hard with our families — we all need a little jolly, no-effort relaxation. On today's show, Carol wonders if she can use Hackathons as a means to "improve community outreach" - one of her team's new OKR (Objectives and Key Results). And, I discuss the difference between deploying on Friday vs. deploying during the holiday (and why these are not the same thing and why you shouldn't be a jerk-face to your co-workers).https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4368-working-code-podcast-episode-105-no-effort-december.htm 12/14/22 - Blog - Ortus Solutions - The 12 Days of Christmas - ITB 2022 Video Release— Day 5 - CommandBoxToday, Day 5's Videos from Into the Box 2022 Conference, 3 sessions related to CommandBox, hidden gems, building modules for CommandBox and Securing CommandBox servers for Production.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/the-12-days-of-christmas-itb-2022-video-release-day-5-commandbox CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 37 ColdFusion positions from 25 companies across 22 locations in 5 Countries.2 new jobs listed this weekFull-Time - ColdFusion Developer at Remote - United KingdomDec 16https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-kingdom/ColdFusion-Developer-at-Remote/11541 Full-Time - ColdFusion Developer at Remote - United KingdomDec 14https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-kingdom/ColdFusion-Developer-at-Remote/11540 Patreon Sponsored Job Announcement - Tomorrows GuidesTomorrows Guides is a fast paced leader in the UK care sector, catering for care seekers across three areas: Care Homes, Nurseries and Home Care.

This attribute allows any physical file on your server to be sent to the user, regardless of where it lives.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4367-serving-secure-files-with-cfcontent-tags-file-attribute-in-coldfusion.htm 12/9/22 - Blog - Ortus Solutions - The 12 Days of Christmas - ITB 2022 Video Release— Day 2 - New ModulesIt's that time of year again.

We all have things that we like and don't like; and, it seems almost futile to try and persuade people to move against their own realities. And yet, we - as a community - seem to want to keep doing that. Case-in-point, this post on tab-size that I am writing right now! To be clear, this is not a Tabs vs. Spaces article. In this case, I am using "tab size" to generally refer to indentation, having nothing to do with your mode of indication. This is a post about quantity of indentation. I wanted to put together a JavaScript demo that would allow people to quickly and easily adjust indentation in a live example.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4366-dynamic-tab-size-demo-using-css-custom-properties-in-javascript.htm 12/8/22 - Blog - James Moberg - Caching Repetitive UDF Access to Request Scope Using Argument Stringified+Hashed KeyWhile viewing FusionReactor logs for a ColdFusion app, I noticed lots of repetitive JDBC entries in a request that contained the same exact SQL statement and was taking 42ms per execution. I checked the UDF that was performing the query (using QB) and the query was configured to be cached for 5 minutes... but overhead-wise, it was still taking 42ms each time. The "Number of Queries" for the request was 57 and most of the queries were similar cached 40ms lookups and it started adding up to 1,452ms overall. I wondered if there was anything I could do to add self-contained caching to UDFs that could benefit from them. I didn't want to save the response to the session (YIKES! I've seen some code that does this) or use cachePut/cacheGet since the caching only needs to live for a single request of "repetitive access".https://dev.to/jamoca/caching-repetitive-udf-access-to-request-scope-using-argument-stringifiedhashed-key-3lln 12/8/22 - Blog - The 12 Days of Christmas - ITB 2022 Video Release— Day 1It's that time of year again.

Instead, I spend decades maintaining and evolving existing web properties (think this blog, think InVision). As such, my instinct for what to do on "Day 1" of a new ColdFusion web application is a bit rusty. And, now that I'm on the precipice of taking my BigSexy Poems Angular utility and fleshing-it-out into a legit ColdFusion application, I wanted to take a moment and think about the most fundamental part of a web server: the wwwroot folder.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4365-what-files-should-live-in-the-wwwroot-folder.htm CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 34 ColdFusion positions from 23 companies across 21 locations in 5 Countries.Since August 1st.1 new jobs listed this weekFull-Time - ColdFusion Developer (Remote) at Fort Washington, PA - United States Dec 09https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/ColdFusionDev-RemoteUS/11539 Patreon Sponsored Job Announcement - Tomorrows GuidesTomorrows Guides is a fast paced leader in the UK care sector, catering for care seekers across three areas: Care Homes, Nurseries and Home Care.

We all seem to have hills that we're willing to die on because we believe that said hills are objectively the right choice. Vim vs an IDE; tabs vs spaces; functional vs object oriented; relational databases vs document stores; single-file components vs separation of concerns; single-letter variables vs intuitive variables; ORM vs SQL; Go vs ColdFusion; Angular vs React; single-quotes vs double-quotes; idiomatic vs pragmatic; monoliths vs microservices; REST vs GraphQL; the list goes on and on ad infinitum.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4363-im-beginning-to-think-that-much-of-programming-is-wildly-subjective.htm 12/1/22 - Blog - Brad Wood - Improving Lucee's QoQ Support Again- now 200% fasterTwo years ago, I published this post detailing how I had refactored the Query of Query support in Lucee to be much better and also much faster:https://www.codersrevolution.com/blog/improving-lucees-query-of-query-supportI removed the single-threaded HSQLDB callback for grouped/aggregate and distinct selects and tuned the performance.  QoQ's are a bit of a polarizing feature in CFML.  They've suffered in the past from poor support and poor performance which has caused a lot of people to avoid them.  There are certainly places where queryMap(), queryFilter(), and queryReduce() are the best approach, but there are also times where you simply can't beat the readability and conciseness of an ordered,  aggregated select.  I know developers who tell me they never use "reduce" higher order functions because they are too confusing, but I've never met a developer who didn't understand "GROUP BY department"! https://www.codersrevolution.com/blog/improving-lucees-qoq-support-again-now-200-faster 11/29/22 - Blog - Charlie Arehart - ColdFusion Portal - Recordings of CF Summit Online sessions, finding them posted after each sessionInterested in finding the recordings of the Online version of the 2022 CF Summit?TLDR: recordings of the CF Summit Online are now being posted on the Adobe CF team Youtube channel, andwe can expect to see soon other places listing all the recordings for the event, as a single playlist.https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2022/11/recordings-of-cf-summit-online/ CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 34 ColdFusion positions from 23 companies across 21 locations in 5 Countries.Since August 1st.1 new jobs listed this weekFull-Time - Remote ColdFusion Developer at North Philadelphia, PA - United States Dec 01https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/Remote-CFDeveloper/11538 Patreon Sponsored Job Announcement - Tomorrows GuidesTomorrows Guides is a fast paced leader in the UK care sector, catering for care seekers across three areas: Care Homes, Nurseries and Home Care.

Long-polling creates a persistent HTTP connection that blocks-and-waits for data to be sent down over the network to the client. Eventually, this pattern became codified within the browser's native functionality using EventSource. I've never actually played with the EventSource object; so, I thought it would be fun to put together a simple ColdFusion demo.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4359-eventsource-and-generating-server-sent-events-in-coldfusion-lucee-cfml.htm 11/25/22 - Blog - Ortus Solutions - Black Friday Deals are HereMake 2023, the year you finally start modernizing your CFML projects with our Black Friday deals!Don't waste any more time trying to find solutions, we got everything you need to rock your projects and learn new skills that will save you time and money while delivering a quality service.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/ortus-black-friday-deals-are-here 11/22/22 - Tweet - Brad Wood - Lucee Vulnerable LibrariesBeen working through a large list of vulnerable libraries found in @lucee_server from a government scanluceeserver.atlassian.net/browse/LDEV-42…I'm very excited that Lucee 5.3.10 will fix a huge number of these and there is movement to resolve the others as well! #CFML #infosechttps://twitter.com/bdw429s/status/1595121711355432961https://twitter.com/bdw429s 11/18/22 - Tweet - James Moberg - SQL Keyword CheckerWhenever I need to add new columns to a database, I like to ensure that I'm not using a reserved #ColdFusion or SQL word.My favorite place for SQL is the "SQL Reserved Words Checker" by @pfreitaghttps://www.petefreitag.com/tools/sql_reserved_words_checker/ https://twitter.com/gamesover/status/1593708661914079234https://twitter.com/gamesover 11/17/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Using A Closure To Encapsulate CFThread Execution And Error Handling In ColdFusionIn ColdFusion, I'm a huge fan of using Closures to create a clean separation of concerns between the business logic and the low-level mechanics required to execute a given algorithm. I've used closures for things like managing temp directories, pulling resources out of a connection pool, and implementing distributed locks. And, when it comes to executing CFThread tags, I almost always split my asynchronous code from my business logic. However, it wasn't until the other day that it occurred to me that I could probably use Closures to simplify the execution of asynchronous CFThread tags in ColdFusion.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4356-using-a-closure-to-encapsulate-cfthread-execution-and-error-handling-in-coldfusion.htm 11/16/22 - Tweet James Moberg - Trivial Priority on a real BUG?Adobe just flagged this bug with a "trivial" priority.https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/CF-4215809 Are there any #ColdFusion developers using the new CF2023 Alpha?

Any given queue connection can have multiple "queues" which are named stacks of queued jobs or messages to be delivered.QueueA named stack of jobs or messages to be delivered. A queue connection must have at least one queue which is usually "default". A queue connection can have as many queues as desired. This is mostly used later when defining queue workers to scale different queues at different priorities.Queue ProviderA queue provider is how a queue connection connects to a backend service like Redis, RabbitMQ, or a database. It implements the necessary interface to send the jobs and to work the queues. A queue provider can be used multiple times in a single application to define multiple queue connections with different configuration options.https://www.forgebox.io/view/cbq VS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the WeekIn Your FaceYou can see faces that change with the number of source code errors.https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=TTOOWA.in-your-face-incredibleThank you to all of our Patreon SupportersThese individuals are personally supporting our open source initiatives to ensure the great toolings like CommandBox, ForgeBox, ColdBox,  ContentBox, TestBox and all the other boxes keep getting the continuous development they need, and funds the cloud infrastructure at our community relies on like ForgeBox for our Package Management with CommandBox.

Breaking news kind of thing. So: without further ado! CF Camp will be back in June 2023.We have a date - 22 and 23rd of June 2023 for the main conference event. That is gonna be a Thursday and Friday and as in the past there will be additional pre events on the Tuesday and Wednesday. I would expect the Ortus team to run some training workshops for instance, I heard that the Preside CMS team is looking at doing a mini Preside-con day as well and we'll see what else might be happening.Venue is unchanged, we'll be again in the Marriott Munich Airport, which is NOT at the airport but in the lovely little ancient town of Freising. Michi has booked the hotel, so it's as official as it gets at this stage.If you go to cfcamp.org now, you'll find there is a “Save the date” and more will be coming soon. We're currently working on the Sponsorship documents, and have started to think about the Call for Papers and what we want to be looking for from a session and topic point of view. It'll be an open and transparent process again via Papercall or Sessionize and we'll again try to do our best to increase diversity and help to get underrepresented groups in the tech industry out there.At this stage I'd expect the call for Papers to open in early Jan, not sure if we'll manage to squeeze it onto this side of the end of year holidays.CF Camp 2023June 22/23, 2023  Freising, Germany  https://www.cfcamp.org/ Adobe ColdFusion Fortuna (Codename for CF2023) AlphaI am opening up the Alpha testing group for Adobe ColdFusion 2023 (Codename: Fortuna).
