First let me say that the new metro interface is going to take a lot of getting used too, it is a very big move by Microsoft to do this UI on a server. Something I think might make a lot of business not upgrade for a very long time, but I guess only time will tell.
Anyway as this seems to be around the corner in terms of being released, I thought I would sit down and see how our favourite all time language would go on this new server. With some interesting results.

Now that ColdFusion 10 no longer has the ability to deploy other wars onto itself, I had looked at the next best thing. Which was to install Tomcat and then deploy ColdFusion 10 onto there, in which I could then deploy ColdFusion 9 onto as well.
Apart from some serious issues with running ColdFusion 10 on Tomcat as a standalone Application Server, I also found out that it is impossible to also get the web connectors setup as well.

I had been scratching my head on this one for a few hours, and then it suddenly dawned on me. So I wanted to let others know about this, I doubt one could class this as a bug, and I know that the tag version works differently.
But a gotcha if you are not aware of this, can cause you to tear your hair out.

For sometime I have been trying to find a way in doing this where it was purely ORM, one of the solutions and maybe the most obvious will not work. So the trick, or the solution is to approach it a different way.

By now most of you would have seen some noise about a new CMS application, written in ColdBox being release called ContentBox. It is the new player in the CMS market, and for a product that is so young, it also has some very kick ass features. Which is also capable of running on Railo as well as ColdFusion.

One of the things that makes ColdFusion's new ORM very easy to use, is the ability to create databases very quickly and use them with very little coding as well. One of the things that I like that ColdFusion 9.01 introduced was what is called mapsuperclass, which isvery handy for creating extension to entities from a base class.

ColdFusion 10
I wanted to quickly write this up as I have been looking at a way to install ColdFusion 10, and have ColdFusion 9 run on the same machine as separate instances. As ColdFusion 10 currently does not support the same way to install instances, it sort of forced me to install Tomcat and then deploy the war for ColdFusion 10 and 9 on there.
However, I have seen that ColdFusion 10 is not very stable on Tomcat as of this writing, and had raised a ticket as a result.
The problem was the response that came back from Adobe.

One of the things that is great about current releases of ColdFusion, is that it is very easy to setup locally, and test your application under various versions of ColdFusion. I thought I would write about this because it is not that well known, or widely used in this manner.
The benefits are easily write and run under 2 different versions, without having to install one version then another etc.
Anyway lets begin

ColdFusion 10
Well first let me say this is currently not documented as of this preview release, and I expect that it may be before it is finally released. One of the things that I do in my development cycles, especially when running code on a new version of ColdFusion, to check for compatibility issues. Is to install the multi-server version of ColdFusion.
This would then allow me to install ColdFusion 8, then ColdFusion 9 onto the new installation of ColdFusion, in this case 10. I could in the past just run the connector and repoint the IIS site to the running instance, or create 2 sites on different ports or by using the domain name. This worked well, until ColdFusion 10 that is.

I have been very critical of the developers of ColdFusion, and most of the time it is with very good reason. When ColdFusion 10 was announced, Adobe came out and very publicly stated that they would be going big or going home. Well to be honest I am still waiting for the going big factor, sure there are some nice things in there. But it's all feature rich, things that could be achieved under the hood or using other technologies to enhance the application.
Things like HTML 5, is easily achievable. Or the likes of getting the disk space of the server, or drives. There has been know how's to do this sort of thing for years.
But what about the actual language itself, integrations like hibernate etc.

Well the one thing that I really wanted to get my head around, and look at how this was implemented in ColdFusion 10, I found myself very disappointed with the current implementation.
I see that it works great if you want to use tags to call Java things, but as I now solely write in CFScript, I have to say either it is not implemented or it just doesn't work.

I had a very quick play with this while I had some time on my holiday, and I can see that although the concept was something that can be used, its implementation is left for future problems.
