News and AnnouncementsBeware that ColdFusion 2021 end-of-life (and end of updates) is coming Nov 2025, and your optionsAre you still running ColdFusion 2021? While it's still supported/updated by Adobe, did you know that its end-of-life is coming just several months from now, Nov 10, 2025? That's the date when "core" support for that release ends--meaning no more updates from Adobe after that, not even security fixes.What about more recent releases, if you may wonder? CF 2023 (the current latest release) will get updates into 2028 (5 years after it was release). And there's the coming CF 2025 release, currently in pre-release (as I have recently blogged about), which is of course a great sign for the continued vitality of CF.But this looming deadline for CF2021 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 CF2023 or CF2025 support will end also? And what's the difference between "core" support and the available "extended" support which Adobe sells? (The extended support plan does NOT provide updates beyond this coming November.) 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/2025/1/9/coldfusion2021_end_of_life_nov_2025 Java updates of Jan 21, 2025 for 8, 11, 17, 21, and 23: thoughts and resourcesIt's that time again: there are new JVM updates released today (Jan 21, 2025) for the current long-term support (LTS) releases of Oracle Java, 8, 11, 17, and 21, as well as the new short-term release 23. (The previous short-term release, Java 22, is no longer updated.)TLDR: The new updates are 1.8.0_441 (aka 8u441), 11.0.26, 17.0.14, 21.0.6, and 23.0.2, respectively. Crazy that there are now 5 current Java releases, I realize. More below, including more on each of them including what changed as well as bug fixes and the security fixes each version contains (including their CVE scores regarding urgency of concerns), which are offered in Oracle resources I list below.Oracle calls these updates "critical patch updates" (yep, "CPU"), but they are in fact scheduled quarterly updates, so that the "critical" aspect of this nomenclature may sometimes be a bit overstated. As is generally the case with these Java updates, most of them have the same changes and fixes across the four JVM versions, though not always.For some folks, that's all they need to hear. For others, read on.Whether this is your first time updating Java or your fiftieth, there are some things that you may or may not know.https://www.carehart.org/blog/2025/1/21/java_updates_jan_2025 Into the Box Round 1 of Sessions and Workshops are now out!Our first round of sessions and workshops for Into the Box 2025 is here!

It's news I first shared back in July, and the deal has been extended one last time, thus this post.TLDR; Now through Feb 28, 2025 those running CF9, 10, 11, 2016 or 2018 can upgrade to CF2023 for 25% off its full price. (Those running CF2021 can already/always could upgrade at 50% off the full price.)This is a deal offered only by Intergral, makers of FusionReactor, who are also resellers of CF. Adobe doesn't even offer this deal themselves. For more, see their blog post at https://fusion-reactor.com/blog/news/save-25-on-adobe-cf2023-upgrades/.Act now, it could save you hundreds or even thousands of $$s on a single license! https://www.carehart.org/blog/2025/1/17/last_chance_for_cf_upgrade_discount_from_cf2018_or_earlier New Releases and UpdatesTestBox v6.1.0 releaseWe're super excited to announce the release of TestBox 6.1.0!

News and AnnouncementsTomcat VulnerabilityTime-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.1, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.33, from 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.97. The mitigation for CVE-2024-50379 was incomplete. Users running Tomcat on a case insensitive file system with the default servlet write enabled (readonly initialisation parameter set to the non-default value of false) may need additional configuration to fully mitigate CVE-2024-50379 depending on which version of Java they are using with Tomcat: - running on Java 8 or Java 11: the system property sun.io.useCanonCaches must be explicitly set to false (it defaults to true) - running on Java 17: the system property sun.io.useCanonCaches, if set, must be set to false (it defaults to false) - running on Java 21 onwards: no further configuration is required (the system property and the problematic cache have been removed) Tomcat 11.0.3, 10.1.35 and 9.0.99 onwards will include checks that sun.io.useCanonCaches is set appropriately before allowing the default servlet to be write enabled on a case insensitive file system. Tomcat will also set sun.io.useCanonCaches to false by default where it can.https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-56337 How to resolve with Lucee: https://dev.lucee.org/t/cvs-exploit-of-tomcat-9-10-11/14590 End of 2024 - what did it bring itWhat is 2025 bringing? New Releases and UpdatesAdobe Security Updates released December 23rd, 2024 - ColdFusion 2023 Update 12 and 2021 Update 18We have released critical security updates for ColdFusion (2023 release) and ColdFusion (2021 release).Adobe is aware that CVE-2024-53961 has a known proof-of-concept that could cause an arbitrary file system read.View the security bulletin, APSB24-107, and the tech notes for more information.https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2024/12/released-coldfusion-2023-and-2021-december-23rd-2024-security-updates/An Initial Analysis of Adobe ColdFusion CVE-2024-53961 - from HoyahaxaAdobe released APSB24-107 today, which addresses one vulnerability in ColdFusion tracked as CVE-2024-53961 and described as a path traversal that could lead to file retrieval. Based on a quick review of the corresponding patches, it appears to be a security enhancement that improves protection (and possibly remediates bypasses) against the attack vectors first addressed in APSB24-14 / CVE-2024-20767 back in March. https://www.hoyahaxa.com/2024/12/an-initial-analysis-of-cve-2024-53961.html Blog from Charlie on the updates: https://www.carehart.org/blog/2024/12/23/ColdFusion_updates_released_Dec_23_2024 Webinars, Meetups and WorkshopsICYMI - Sac Interactive Meetup: All I Want for Christmas is AI with Luke KilpatrickWed, Dec 18 · 6:00 PM PSThttps://www.meetup.com/sacinteractive/events/303708503/?eventOrigin=home_page_upcoming_events$all Sac Interactive Meetup: January with Kai KoenigCFCasts Content Updateshttps://www.cfcasts.comMerry Xmas - All of the Into the Box 2024 videos are now available for paid subscriptionshttps://www.cfcasts.com/series/into-the-box-2024 Conferences and TrainingITB 2025Location: Washington, DCDates: April 30, 2025 - May 2, 2025 - Washington, DCTickets and more info: https://t.co/cFLDUJZEyM50% off blind tickets$249.50 for the Conference$349.50 for the Conference + Workshop!!!Call for Speakers CLOSEDCFCamp 2025May 22, 23rd - 2025Atomis Hotel Munich Airporthttps://www.cfcamp.org/ Call for Speakers open - https://www.papercall.io/cfcamp2025 Closes February 28, 2025 ( 4am PST )More conferencesNeed more conferences, this site has a huge list of conferences for almost any language/community.https://confs.tech/Blogs, Posts, and Videos of the Week12/29/24 - Blog - Ben Nadel - My Internal InVision Feature Demo VideosAlthough InVision is shutting its doors, it's been an amazing journey; and, I've done a lot of work that I'm incredibly proud of. In particular, I feel great about the way in which I embraced experimentation with both arms; and, that I tried throwing as many features against the wall to see which would stick. Some of my experiments ended up being a "nothing burger". But, some of them went on to become highly valuable parts of the application and the user experience (UX). The whole process made me somewhat fearless in the face of opposition; and, taught me to love my failures just as much as my successes.

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!

(The previous short-term release, Java 22, is no longer updated.)TLDR: The new updates are 1.8.0_431 (aka 8u431), 11.0.25, 17.0.13, 21.0.5, and 23.0.1 respectively. Crazy that there are now 5 current Java releases, I realize. More below, including more on each of them including what changed as well as bug fixes and the security fixes each version contains (including their CVE scores regarding urgency of concerns), which are offered in Oracle resources I list below.https://www.carehart.org/blog/2024/10/15/java_updates_oct_2024 PayPal's NVP/SOAP API for Website Payments Pro accounts suddenly stopped working sometime early OctoberPayPal's NVP/SOAP API for Website Payments Pro accounts suddenly stopped working sometime around October 4th (possibly Sep 30). Some developers that reported having the issue were using legacy classic ASP and others were using ColdFusion. I believe we've been using the PayPal DoDirectPayment API since it was introduced back in 2002.At some point, PayPal added the following undated disclaimer to their documentation. (According to Microsoft Copilot, "PayPal's NVP (Name-Value Pair) API was marked as "legacy" around October 12th, 2021".)CFPayment (retired) supports WPP & Payflow, but not the new REST API method. Searching online for "ColdFusion (or cfml) paypal rest api" didn't return anything beneficial, so it became apparent that there was a need for a solution... any solution.James Moberg has an updated Paypal Rest API Cfc available here: https://dev.to/gamesover/coldfusion-paypal-rest-api-cfc-339p Secure Your ColdFusion Perpetual License Before Adobe's Subscription-Only SwitchFollowing Adobe's announcement at the Adobe ColdFusion Summit in Las Vegas, ColdFusion will transition to a subscription-only licensing model. This major shift in licensing strategy means developers and organizations have a limited window to secure their final perpetual ColdFusion license.While we don't know the date for the Adobe switch, FusionReactor customers have an exclusive opportunity to secure their last perpetual license and save significantly in the process. This final offer has been extended to December 31, 2024, giving organizations more months to make this crucial decision.https://fusion-reactor.com/blog/secure-your-coldfusion-perpetual-license-before-adobes-subscription-only-switch/ Microsoft Copilot is a little Snarky about 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.

But there really is a lot more to working with them than simply "setting a given url to run on a given schedule" (did you know it could be a CFC, for instance? Did you know about the cron time feature? Did you know about clustering scheduled tasks--even with ColdFusion Standard?). Besides there being more features than many may realize, there are also some common problems people face when running them, and there are tools and techniques to help with that.In this talk, veteran CF troubleshooter Charlie Arehart will address all these and more, starting with several ways to create them (yes, even more than just cfschedule and the CF Admin UI) then more on those more advanced/easily missed features, as well as tools and techniques for solving common problems with them. We'll also explore configuration files and features for managing tasks. Finally we'll also cover ways CF scheduled tasks may NOT work well and discuss alternatives to them.https://www.meetup.com/coldfusionmeetup/events/302616793/?eventOrigin=group_events_list ICYMI - Online ColdFusion Meetup Group - "Getting Started with BoxLang Runtimes", with Luis Majano & Brad WoodBoxLang is a new application server released by Ortus Solutions.

Redis CEO Rowan Trollope wrote on March 20 that while Redis and volunteers sponsored the bulk of the project's code development, "the majority of Redis' commercial sales are channeled through the largest cloud service providers, who commoditize Redis' investments and its open source community." Clarifying a bit, "cloud service providers hosting Redis offerings will no longer be permitted to use the source code of Redis free of charge."https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2024/04/redis-license-change-and-forking-are-a-mess-that-everybody-can-feel-bad-about/ Vercel Releasing new Pricing July 21stVercel pricing is going from golden to arm and a leg of gold.Look at using your own VPS and save $$$Example: https://x.com/themsaid/status/1776114395371684166 New Releases and UpdatesICYMI - Quick 7.4 – 8New hasManyDeep relationship and revamped hasManyThrough.Better performance, correct constraints, and increased readability.https://quick.ortusbooks.com/whats-newICYMI - qb 9.8New withAlias function that will automatically rename fully qualified columns with the old name or alias.https://qb.ortusbooks.com/whats-newICYMI - Megaphone 1.0.1Uses the default cbMailServices email provider and logs success and failure by default.https://megaphone.ortusbooks.com/whats-newWebinars, Meetups and WorkshopsCF Summit OnlineCharlie Arehart has provided all the links for thisList of Sessions, Descriptions and Links: https://adobe-coldfusion-online-summit-2024.attendease.com/sessions-on-demand/ Youtube Playlist of the Sessions: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3iywAijqFoXrJ7jHdw-A1vNl-JB-iDQ7 ICYMI - Mid-Michigan CFUG - Charlie Arehart - What if no one is monitoring your DB server?

News and AnnouncementsWhitehouse Mandate - Press Release: Future Software Should Be Memory SafeLeaders in Industry Support White House Call to Address Root Cause of Many of the Worst Cyber AttacksToday, the White House Office of the National Cyber Director (ONCD) released a report calling on the technical community to proactively reduce the attack surface in cyberspace. ONCD makes the case that technology manufacturers can prevent entire classes of vulnerabilities from entering the digital ecosystem by adopting memory safe programming languages. ONCD is also encouraging the research community to address the problem of software measurability to enable the development of better diagnostics that measure cybersecurity quality.Full Report: https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Final-ONCD-Technical-Report.pdf Blog Post: https://www.whitehouse.gov/oncd/briefing-room/2024/02/26/press-release-technical-report/ Three Recent Lucee VulnerabilitiesLast week, Harsh Jaiswal and Rahul Maini from ProjectDiscovery released some impressive security research on multiple vulnerabilities in Lucee (and Mura CMS and Masa CMS).

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.

First, be aware that besides the traditional full installer there's the new "zip" install option (added in CF2021). What's that about, why might you want to use it--or not?Then there are some options and choices during installation--some new also with CF2021. Perhaps it's been a while since you've installed even previous CF versions. We'll cover some of the key options to consider (including license activation, package/module management, and more) as well as post-install steps including updating CF and the JVM, and migrating in CF Admin settings (including using the new CLI/json admin config tool, cfsetup).https://www.meetup.com/coldfusionmeetup/events/298025246/CFCasts Content Updateshttps://www.cfcasts.comRecent ReleasesInto the Box 2023 Videos are now available for all Paid Subscriptions https://cfcasts.com/series/itb-2023 Coming SoonMastering CBWIRE v3 from GrantConferences and TrainingITB 2024 Location: Optica in Washington, DC Announcement Blog Post: https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/our-into-the-box-2024-venue-and-dates-are-set Dates: May 15-17, 2024 Get Blind Tickets Now (through the end of the year): https://www.eventbrite.com/e/into-the-box-2024-the-new-era-of-modernization-tickets-663126347757 Call for Speakers: CLOSED First batch of sessions and workshops being announced this week.

I then use jSoup to inject a table of contents (TOC); which requires that I insert an identifier into each header element. And, now that I'm trying to use Pandoc to generate an EPUB (digital book) version, I need to make sure that my ColdFusion-based header identifiers match the ones that Pandoc will generate in the final EPUB.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4537-generating-pandoc-heading-identifiers-in-coldfusion.htm 12/11/23 - Blog - Robert Zehnder - Bringing back commandbox-ssgOver the past few years, my focus has been largely on blog-related projects. My initial foray into the world of static site generators began with commandbox-jasper. This project laid the foundation for my current static site generator, aptly named commandbox-ssg. commandbox-ssg not only inherits a substantial portion of its codebase from Jasper, but it also boasts several refinements and a more descriptive name that better captures its functionality. The name Jasper, while a sentimental nod to my dog, didn't quite convey the tool's purpose.The transition of my development environment from MacOS to Windows, however, presented some unexpected challenges. It became apparent that my assumptions regarding file paths, which worked seamlessly on MacOS, were not compatible with Windows. This realization led to a few hiccups, but I've been making steady progress in addressing these issues.I'm enthusiastic about resolving any lingering issues and diving into further development of the tool.https://kisdigital.com/posts/2023/bringing-back-commandbox-ssg12/14/23 - Blog - Robert Zehnder - An introduction to commandbox-ssgThis module, a static site generator for CommandBox, is a personal favorite among the modules I've had the pleasure of working on. This guide aims to provide an overview of installing, using, and configuring CommandBox-SSG for your web projects.https://kisdigital.com/posts/2023/an-introduction-to-commandbox-ssg12/19/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Using Google reCAPTCHA v3 In ColdFusionOver on my Dig Deep Fitness weight lifting application, I use magic links for passwordless logins. This type of authentication workflow takes an email address and sends a one-time-use link that will automatically log the given user into my ColdFusion application, no password required. A few weeks ago, I started seeing SPAM bots submit this form (for reasons that I can't understand). To combat this malicious attack, I added Google's reCAPTCHA v3 to my login form. This was the first time that I've used reCAPTCHA in a ColdFusion application; so, I thought it might be worth a closer look.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4538-using-google-recaptcha-v3-in-coldfusion.htmCFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 113 ColdFusion positions from 68 companies across 48 locations in 5 Countries.2 new jobs listed in the last few weeksFull-Time - ColdFusion 2016 & 2023 Expert at HotelPlanner - United States Posted Dec 12, 2023https://twitter.com/hotelplanner/status/1734614012845871359Full-Time - ColdFusion Developer at Washington, DCPosted Dec 13, 2023https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/CFDeveloper-at-Washington-DC/11625Other Job LinksThere is a jobs channel in the CFML slack team, and in the Box team slack now tooForgeBox Module of the WeekRoute Auditor by Dan CardThis module is a simple interceptor which captures the event being run based on the route that was hit in your API and persists it to a database with the date, time and endpoint hit.https://forgebox.io/view/route_auditorVS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the WeekNovember 2023 Visual Studio Code Release Tidbits Floating Editor Windows Terminal Sticky Scroll GitHub Copilot Potential vulnerability detection in code blocks https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_85#_sticky-scrollThank 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 very strange notation, so I'll probably never use it.

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.

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.

When some app of your can't seem to connect to a given port, you may want to test things from the command line. (The problem may be that the service using that port has stopped or is blocked by a firewall--it may be that you're mistaken in the port you are trying to use, or perhaps even the ip address, domain name, or machine name.)There are in fact many tools which can help with this task, some of which will be familiar to those on *nix systems, but Windows users who've been around a while (or who learned from such folks) may try to rely on the good ol' telnet command (as in telnet ). Unfortunately, they often find out how Microsoft has disabled that tool by default for over a decade (since Windows Vista), and while it can be easily enabled, they may be prevented or understandably reluctant to do that.In this post, I want to show a couple of command-line alternatives which can do the job easily, one best suited for powershell users (Test-NetConnection), and and two of which would suit those who prefer the command line (cmd) and which are now built-into Windows (the past few years): ssh and curl. No, this is not their primary job but they will suit for this task and it may surprise some to learn they're even built-in options. I'll conclude with still other options available to those on *nix environments (who of course can also use ssh and curl), especially nc (netcat).https://www.carehart.org/blog/2023/10/1/testing_port_reachability_with_other_than_telnet10/02/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Generating A Table Of Contents Using jSoup And ColdFusionI'm authoring my Feature Flags Book using Markdown. Then, I'm converting the Markdown into HTML using Flexmark and ColdFusion. And, once I have the raw HTML, I'm using jSoup to augment the DOM for output. As part of this, I'm dynamically injecting a Table of Contents (ToC). In the book, I'm only including the h2 headings; but, it got me thinking about how I might use jSoup and ColdFusion to create a more inclusive table of contents.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4521-generating-a-table-of-contents-using-jsoup-and-coldfusion.htm10/03/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Understanding The TrimWhitespace() Function In Lucee CFMLThe other day, when I was looking into which whitespace characters are removed by trim(), I came across a Lucee CFML function that I hadn't seen before: trimWhitespace(). The Function doesn't have an in-depth description; and, looking at the Java code didn't immediately clarify the function's behavior. As such, I wanted to try it out for myself in order to see if the function might be useful to me in the future.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4522-understanding-the-trimwhitespace-function-in-lucee-cfml.htm10/10/2023 - Blog - Charlie Arehart - Solving failure in applying latest CF updates, or avoiding that failureIf you try to apply ColdFusion updates (including the latest released Oct 6) via the CF admin or command line and find that the update fails, the problem may be due to the JVM you're using (within CF or at the command line).

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.

Note that this is an access control bypass and is not an authentication bypass vulnerability. https://hoyahaxa.blogspot.com/2023/08/technical-details-for-cve-2023-29301.html08/31/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Using CFLoop To Iterate Over A File Line-By-Line In ColdFusionYesterday, at work, I had to take a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file with 4.7 million lines of data in it and break it up into smaller files that each had 25K lines of data. 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.

As someone who had (?has?) to support IE11 up until the very end, CSS Flexbox became my go-to for complex layouts. 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. This release: Updates the underlying Redis java driver from v2.9.3 to v4.4.3 Added SSL and username support to RedisClusterCache configuration Added username support to RedisCache ( non-cluster ) configuration These enhancements have been made to ensure full compatibility with both standalone Redis implementations, as well as AWS Elasticache configurations and authentication mechanisms.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/ortus-redis-extension-v300-releasedLucee Script Runner UpdatedThe Lucee Script Runner has been updated with some additional features:luceeVersionQueryYou can now specify a query string to run with the following syntax to select which version of Lucee you want to run, it overrides `luceeVersion`.CompilePassing in `-Dcompile=true` on the command line or compile: true will compile all the code under specified webrootThis is great for catching any invalid CFML during CI before it hits production, also great for checking your code against the latest 6 snapshot to catch any errors introduced which causes errors with your codebaseWindows Runner support for Github actionsThe `action.yml` has been updated to use Windows syntax for running script-runner.

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. Now, with a single Task Runner, I can fire off hundreds of tests across dozens of servers to check for regressions. https://github.com/Ortus-Solutions/commandbox-tests 07/31/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Auto-Saving Form Data In The Background Using The fetch() APIIn Dig Deep Fitness, my ColdFusion fitness tracker, the main gesture of the app is the "Perform Exercise" view. 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.

This release also solves a native QoQ bug. https://dev.lucee.org/t/lucee-stable-release-5-4-2-17/12828 Lucee 5.4.1.8 Stable Release notes: https://dev.lucee.org/t/lucee-5-4-1-8-stable-release/12778 Lucee ZERO, a lighter Lucee Light (Lamba Friendly) Lucee Zero is a new smaller Lucee distribution without the admin or docs bundled.This reduces the jar size by about 2mb and avoids expanding them on install, which makes Lucee initial startup a lot faster, as there is less to deploy.Why an additional distribution?Firstly backwards compat with existing build pipelines, as you can't build a full install by adding just extensions, the admin simply isn't there with Lucee Zero.Secondly Lambas have some size limitations, you only have 50MB, when Lucee deploys, the .lco is extracted into lucee-server/patches and then the lucee-admin.lar and lucee-doc.lar are exracted out into lucee-server/context/context, plus inside the original lucee-zero.jar.So this new distribution saves roughly 6MB of disk space, as there ends up being three copies of these two .lar archives on the filesystem once deployed.When I run the local build for extensions, it's about 6-7s faster (Lucee does deploy slower on windows than linux, so YMMV)https://dev.lucee.org/t/lucee-zero-a-lighter-lucee-light-lamba-friendly/12749 Webinar / Meetups and WorkshopsICYMI - Hawaii ColdFusion Meetup Group - Intro to ColdFusion 2023June 23rd, 2023Adobe ColdFusion 2023 is released today!

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.

The only limitation is nested exchange attributes must use [] instead of {} due to an Undertow parsing issue I reported to them yesterday). https://ortussolutions.atlassian.net/browse/COMMANDBOX-1592 CommandBox - Have you say on MariaDBDuring my refactoring of Runwar/CommandBox I was looking at the little MariaDB4j integration that was built into runwar (added about 7 years ago in 2016). 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!

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!

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.

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.

Specifically -- about the CFMX_COMPAT algorithm. The encrypt() function was introduction in ColdFusion 4 (ca. 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!

ColdBox 7 introduces groundbreaking features and advancements, elevating the development experience to new heights and empowering developers to create exceptional web applications and APIs.Designed to meet the evolving needs of modern web development, ColdBox 7 boasts a range of powerful features that streamline the development process and enhance productivity. With its robust HMVC architecture and developer-friendly tools, ColdBox 7 enables developers to deliver high-performance, scalable, and maintainable web applications and APIs with ease.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/coldbox-700-released 5/16/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Parsing GitHub Gist Embeds Into A Normalized Data Structure Using jSoup In ColdFusionAs I mentioned yesterday, I've been using GitHub Gists to add the syntax highlighting / formatting in my blog post content. 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! After a flight that included several delay, I finally arrived at the hotel a few minutes ago. As per usual, there is a ton of great content this year; deciding which sessions to attend is like the techie equivalent of Sophie's Choice! Here's my best guess as to where you can find me:Wednesday: Async Programming & Scheduling workshophttps://southofshasta.com/blog/my-into-the-box-2023-schedule/ 5/17/23 - Blog - Charlie Arehart - ColdFusion 2023 released, May 17 2023: resources and thoughtsColdFusion 2023 has been released today, May 17 2023. 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.

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. How about that? And in that time I've had 3,645 comments from folks. I do write mostly for you all, so thanks!I also noticed that it marks my 17th year of blogging here, almost to the day with my first entry posted this same week back then, Apr 15 2006. That's "pretty darn interesting", as Ray Camden might say.FWIW, I'd also blogged elsewhere--yes, on CF--prior to starting this one. And the first of those posts were in early 1998--so technically it's my 25th anniversary of blogging about CF. :-)https://www.carehart.org/blog/2023/4/18/celebrating_600_posts_and_17_years 4/18/23 - Blog - Ortus Solutions - Get ready to code; Into The Box's 10th edition is just 1 month Away!Our biggest Into the Box conference is around the corner; Big shoutout to everyone already signed in and of course to all the amazing leading companies supporting the event; we're excited to learn alongside you at our 10th anniversary!If you haven't registered yet, what are you waiting for?

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. We're excited to announce that this year, we're introducing a new activity: a Hackathon team-up event! This hackathon is an excellent opportunity for tech enthusiasts to come together, collaborate, share their skills and knowledge, and work on innovative projects that tackle real-world problems. We hope you'll join us for this exciting time! We are currently in the process of finalizing the topics for the hackathon and would love to hear your feedback. We want to make sure that the topics we select are relevant to the interests and expertise of our attendees, so please take a moment to let us know what topics you would be most interested in working on.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/what-would-you-like-to-hack-on-at-into-the-box-2023 4/24/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - John Gall's Law On Building Complex SystemsYears ago, in the book Designing Data-Intensive Applications, I came across "Gall's Law". 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.

Sometimes, however - due to things like page layout constraints - an "external" button needs to trigger a non-parent form submission. Historically, I would have reached for JavaScript to get this done. But, I just learned that any button can natively target any form on the page by using the form attribute and a matching id value.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4447-associating-submit-buttons-with-any-form-using-button-attributes-in-native-html.htm4/14/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Building Resilient Feature Flags That "Fail Open" In ColdFusionWhen it comes to feature flags, I'm a super fan! I believe that they fundamentally change everything about product development (See Video Presentation). But, with that super power comes complexity. Feature flags mean branching logic and transient state. And, this complexity is only amplified when you have to reconcile a long-running process, like a Single-Page Application (SPA). One way to help reduce complexity is design resilient feature flags so that they "fail open". This makes it much easier to clean up your ColdFusion server without breaking your client-side code.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4448-building-resilient-feature-flags-that-fail-open-in-coldfusion.htm4/18/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Selecting Portions Of A Turbo Stream Template With Custom ActionsIn the Hotwire JavaScript framework, Turbo Streams give us the ability to manipulate the DOM (Document Object Model) in response to POST requests (and some GET requests). These DOM manipulations are performed through a set of defined "actions''. Turbo provides some default actions; but, we can create our own custom Turbo Stream actions in order to add even more functionality. One thing that I would love to have is a [selector] attribute on the element that would limit the operation to a sub-tree of the content. I believe that this would give me more flexibility when it comes to reusing my ColdFusion templates.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4450-selecting-portions-of-a-turbo-stream-template-with-custom-actions.htm 4/18/2023 - Brad WoodPleased to get another pull request merged into Lucee 6 last week.

These applications will include a Google Translate clone, a low-code Contacts Manager, and an ETL workflow that integrates no-SQL with a relational database. Mark will use a combination of built-in ColdFusion tooling and freely available third-party integrations to build these applications, providing attendees with valuable insights into ColdFusion's API & data access development capabilities. All code samples will be available on GitHub following the talk in order to help attendees kick-start their own versions of the apps.https://exploring-apis-coldfusion.meetus.adobeevents.com/CFCasts Content Updateshttps://www.cfcasts.comNew FeaturesSearch is now powered by ElasticSearch with drastically increased search relevance.Recent Releases Mastering CommandBox 5 - 2 new videos - https://cfcasts.com/series/mastering-commandbox-5 Security Client Cert Auth ModCFML Nginx 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 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 TrainingJ on the BeachBringing DevOps, Devs and Data Scientists together around Big DataMay 10-12, 2023 Malaga, Spainhttps://www.jonthebeach.com/ Ortus Profile: https://www.jonthebeach.com/jobs/54/Ortus%20SolutionsVueJS Live MAY 12 & 15, 2023ONLINE + LONDON, UKCODE / CREATE / COMMUNICATE35 SPEAKERS, 10 WORKSHOPS10000+ JOINING ONLINE GLOBALLY300 LUCKIES MEETING IN LONDONhttps://vuejslive.com/ Into the Box 2023 - 10th EditionMay 17-19, 2023 The conference will be held in The Woodlands (Houston), Texas - This year we will continue the tradition of training and offering a pre-conference hands-on training day on May 17th and our live Mariachi Band Party!

I'm already on a flight back hope; sadly no time for tourist things on this trip (tho my sushi dinner with Minh Vo yesterday was fantastic so I'll take that as a win).https://southofshasta.com/blog/coldfusion-summit-east-2023-recap/4/7/23 - Blog - Jim Jurista - Common Issues when Migrating to ColdFusion 2021Here are some of the things we had to address a migration from Adobe ColdFusion 2016 to Adobe ColdFusion 2021 for a client project.https://medium.com/@jjurista/common-issues-when-migrating-to-coldfusion-2021-4c8fa3c8121b4/9/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Using navigator.sendBeacon() To Publish Analytics Back To ColdFusionLast week, on Episode 227 of the Web Rush podcast, Sasha Shynkevich, talked about Browser APIs You May Not Know About. 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.

This layer is composed of ColdFusion components that are organized around tightly-coupled features. For example, on this blog, I have a CommentWorkflow.cfc component that has methods for adding, editing, and approving comments. At work, these workflow components can get pretty beasty, especially as a feature-area continues to expand. As a thought experiment, I wanted to consider a world in which each workflow component represented a single use-case within the application.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4437-thought-experiment-creating-single-use-case-components-in-coldfusion.htm 3 great videos to watch!!!4/2/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Conway's Game Of Life In Hotwire And ColdFusionConway's Game of Life is a simple, single-player game in which you define the initial state of the game and then the rest of the game is autonomously driven by a small set of rules.

However, because these versions reached end of life they are no longer receiving security patches from Adobe.One thing you can do to mitigate one of these issues is to block requests containing a variable named _cfclient. Some of the filters in FuseGuard may help prevent some attack vectors when configured to.

(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.

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.

However, because these versions reached end of life they are no longer receiving security patches from Adobe.One thing you can do to mitigate one of these issues is to block requests containing a variable named _cfclient. Some of the filters in FuseGuard may help prevent some attack vectors when configured to. But the best solution is to upgrade to CF2018 or 2021 and apply the patch released today.--Foundeo Inc.ICYMI - Authentication Bypass Vulnerability in Mura CMS and Masa CMS (CVE-2022-47003 and CVE-2022-47002)Mura CMS is a popular content management system written in ColdFusion/CFML.

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! This was unexpected; and, I wanted to see if it worked in both Adobe ColdFusion and Lucee CFML.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4425-using-return-to-short-circuit-a-cfml-template-in-coldfusion.htm 3/14/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Using Nested Stimulus Controllers With Hotwire And Lucee CFMLThe other day, on the Hotwire Dev Forum, I was having a discussion about communicating across Stimulus controllers. 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.

Turbo Frames can be used for things like lazy-loading user-specific content for better caching and including (or "transcluding") forms from one page into another page. This latter concept - transcluding forms - can unlock a lot of different user experiences. But, rendering a form inside a Turbo Frame can make post-submission redirections more complicated. Fortunately, I recently learned about creating custom Turbo Stream actions, which can help us bridge the redirection gap in our ColdFusion applications.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4418-transcluding-a-form-into-a-turbo-frame-using-hotwire-and-lucee-cfml.htm 3/2/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - The User Experience (UX) Of Disabled Form ButtonsBy default, form buttons aren't disabled. When you render a form, everything "just works". That is, until, a web developer decides to get "clever" and starts disabling buttons, pending some desired form state. Unfortunately, many developers are not quite as clever as they think they are; and, buttons often remain disabled even when a form has been completed filled-out. This obviously leads to a terrible user experience (UX).https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4419-the-user-experience-ux-of-disabled-form-buttons.htm 3/2/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Dynamically Adding Stimulus Controllers To Static Content Using Hotwire And Lucee CFMLAs I'm digging into the Hotwire framework, I'm trying to keep an eye on how I might eventually convert this ColdFusion blog over to using it. And, one of the things that I currently have to contend with (on this blog) is progressively enhancing the "static content" within each blog post (ex, resizing code-blocks on mouseenter). The "Stimulus way" seeks to create small, targeted controllers instead of large, over-reaching "page" controllers. As such, I wanted to see if I can dynamically attach Stimulus Controllers to targeted elements within my static content.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4420-dynamically-adding-stimulus-controllers-to-static-content-using-hotwire-and-lucee-cfml.htm 3/4/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Rendering A Persistent Dismissible Banner Using Hotwire And Lucee CFMLWhen operating a Single Page Application (SPA) in Angular, I will often need to render a persistent banner across the top of page, alerting the user to some sort of state change or a call-to-action (CTA). Now that I know that Hotwire can define persistent Turbo Frames; and, that we can use custom Turbo Stream actions to visit those Turbo Frames; I wanted to see if I could use a persistent frame to render a dismissible banner in a Hotwire-enhanced ColdFusion application.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4421-rendering-a-persistent-dismissible-banner-using-hotwire-and-lucee-cfml.htm 3/4/2023 - Blog - Brad Wood - Ortus Solutions - CommandBox 5.8.0 Released!We are pleased to announce the release of CommandBox 5.8.0, which comes with a handful of new features and some important library updates.As usual, you can acquire the latest release from our download page or your favorite HomeBrew or apt/yum repohttps://www.ortussolutions.com/products/commandbox#download https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/commandbox-580-released 3/6/2023 - Blog - Brian Reilly - Authentication Bypass Vulnerability in Mura CMS and Masa CMS (CVE-2022-47003 and CVE-2022-47002)Mura CMS is a popular content management system written in ColdFusion/CFML. While it was originally a commercial open source product, it was re-licensed as a closed source application with the release of Mura CMS v10 in 2020. There are forked open source projects based on the last open source release of Mura CMS, including Masa CMS - which is actively maintained.Multiple versions of Mura CMS and Masa CMS contain an authentication bypass vulnerability that can allow an unauthenticated attacker to login as any Site Member or System User.https://hoyahaxa.blogspot.com/2023/03/authentication-bypass-mura-masa.html 3/7/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Styling Submit Buttons During Form Submission With Hotwire And Lucee CFMLWhen you submit a form in a Hotwire enhanced ColdFusion application, several things happen: The progress bar may be rendered if the request takes a while; the targeted submit button will be disabled (in order to prevent double-submissions); and, as of the Turbo v7.3.0 release, you can now alter the innerHTML of the targeted submit button while the form is being processed. 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.htm CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 52 ColdFusion positions from 32 companies across 25 locations in 5 Countries.0 new job listed this weekOther Job LinksThere is a jobs channel in the CFML slack team, and in the Box team slack now tooForgeBox Module of the WeekCBWIRECBWIRE is a ColdBox module that makes building reactive, dynamic, and modern interfaces delightfully easy without leaving the comfort of CFML.- This is not CFClientBuilding modern CFML apps is a pain.

The pandemic acted as a forcing function, demonstrating that remote work isn't only possible but — in many cases and for many people — both preferable and more productive. Remote work, however, lead to an ever-more remote workforce which lead to a diversity of time zones which lead to collaboration issues. Async communication is intended to resolve some of these issues; and, to provide workers with more uninterrupted, deep-thought time. And, to be clear, I am a fan of async communication. But, I believe that there is an overused toxic form of async communication: Consensus building.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4415-async-communication-is-great-except-for-when-its-awful.htm2/14/23 - Tweet - Brad Wood - CommandBox `forgebox version-debug` commandI've added a cool little command called "forgebox version-debug" to CommandBox vNext which will help debug which package versions a semantic version range matches.https://twitter.com/bdw429s/status/1630332656658395137CFML 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 weekSenior Application Developer (Coldfusion/Lucee) - Skillcast at London, UK - https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-kingdom/Sr-AppDev-CFLucee-London-UK/11556Other Job LinksThere is a jobs channel in the CFML slack team, and in the Box team slack now tooForgeBox Module of the WeekLogstashThis module provides a common interface for sending Logstash logs to elasticsearch.

Element permanence is awesome when you want to, for example, lazy-load a Turbo-Frame once and then have it persist across pages. But, it means that updating the content of said element gets tricky.

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.

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. This is by no means complete but I'll flesh it out as needed. PRs welcome. :)Each component accepts the basic data that it needs to create its element as well as an id and class list to be added to the top element.https://www.forgebox.io/view/uime VS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the WeekDev ContainersVisual Studio Code Dev ContainersThe Dev Containers extension lets you use a Docker container as a full-featured development environment.

(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.

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.

This validator just relies on the IAuthUser interface now. Added New AuthValidator now can validate permissions and roles according to our IAuthUser interface but can be used on ANY authentication service that implements IAuthService New authorization and authentication delegates for usage in cb7 New ability for the firewall to log all action events to a database table. New visualizer that can visualize all settings and all firewall events via the log table if enabled. New Basic Auth validator and basic auth user credentials storage system. This will allow you to secure your apps where no database interaction is needed or required. New global and rule action: block and the fireall will block the request with a 401 Unathorized page. New event cbSecurity_onFirewallBlock announced whenever the firewall blocks a request into the system with a 403. DBTokenStorage now rotates using async scheduler and not direct usage anymore. Ability to set the cbcsrf module settings into the cbsecurity settings as csrf. We now default the user service class and the auth token rotation events according to used authentication service (cbauth, etc), no need to duplicate work. New rule based IP security. You can add a allowedIPs key into any rule and add which IP Addresses are allowed into the match. By default, it matches all IPs. New rule based HTTP method security. You can add a httpMethods key into any rule and add which HTTP methods are allowed into the match. By default, it matches all HTTP Verbs. New securityHeaders configuration to allow a developer to protect their apps from common exploits: xss, HSTS, Content Type Options, host header validation, ip validation, click jacking, non-SSL redirection and much more.

As part of this algorithm, I hash together various sources of entropy in order to create a unique, collision-resistant value. Once I completed my initial implementation, I got to thinking: since the goal isn't to create a specific value but rather a random, unique value, does the order of the inputs to the hash actually have any bearing on the characteristics of the output? In other words, does the order of hash inputs make the hash more unique? Or, give it a more even distribution in a given space?https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4394-does-the-order-of-hash-inputs-matter-in-terms-of-uniqueness-and-distribution.htm 1/19/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Comparing Java's MessageDigest To ColdFusion's hash() Function In Lucee CFMLLast week, I implemented a ColdFusion port of the CUID2 library. My version seems to work correctly; however, it has some performance problems when compared to the Java version. When I instrumented the ColdFusion component methods, nothing really jumped out at me. But, I have a hunch that I could make the SHA hashing more performant. Only, I don't have a great mental model for hashing. As such, I wanted to perform a small comparison of Java's MessageDigest class with ColdFusion's native hash() function for hashing a compound input.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4393-comparing-javas-messagedigest-to-coldfusions-hash-function-in-lucee-cfml.htm 1/18/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Using "continue" To Short-Circuit .each() Iteration In ColdFusionYesterday, I was refactoring some ColdFusion code to go from using a standard for-in loop to using an .each() iteration member method. The for-in version of the code had some short-circuiting logic that used continue statements to skip to the next loop iteration. And, when I refactored to using .each(), I forgot to change the continue keyword to be a return keyword. And, wouldn't you know it - the code worked anyway. This is likely a quirk, not a feature, of the CFML platform; but, I thought it would be fun to share.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4392-using-continue-to-short-circuit-each-iteration-in-coldfusion.htm 1/17/23 - Blog - Charlie Arehart - New updates released for Java 8, 11, 17, and 19 as of Jan 17 2023Here's a heads-up that some will want to hear about: there are new JVM updates released today (Jan 17, 2023) for the current long-term support (LTS) releases of Oracle Java, 8, 11, and 17, as well as the current interim update 19.
