One of the arguments that I often make for my use of CFML is how you can do so much with so little code. Seemingly every time I attempt to do something that I haven’t done previously with Grails, I find that argument holds less water than I thought, as I can often do it [...]
I was experimenting with the Railo 3.3 installer, which includes an IIS connector to Tomcat, which works really well. Too well in fact! When I ran it, it actually unmapped all my existing IIS ISAPI mappings to JRun and was sending all requests to Tomcat. I decided the quickest fix to this …
Have you ever really given a second thought to the fact that in ColdFusion/CFML you have to loop queries, arrays, and structures in completely different ways? For example, in each of these things, we are essentially doing the same thing: <!--- looping our query ---> <cfloop …
I almost hate to admit this… no, I really hate to admit this. For some reason, I was have always been under the impression that when you do a catch() in CFSCRIPT, that the variable you define as the catch is protected within the catch condition. However, it hit me today that it is [...]

At Tuesday night’s meeting (3/8/2011), I announced that after 55 meetings at the helm, I am stepping down as manager of the Dallas Ft. Worth ColdFusion User Group. Am I tired of doing it? Am I leaving the language? NO, and NO! As an Adobe UGM, one of my responsibilities is to endorse and …
Recently at I was given the task of adding an new validation routine to an existing validation process. In this piece of code, the requirements mandated that a series of sequential tests would be run, but in the event of a failure of any of them, the process would kick out and set an error [...]
Often in web development, you run across a case where there is a display that contains optional view elements that are derived at runtime. Perhaps there is a section of a form that is only available to residents of the US. Maybe, only users with a certain level of group access have the ability …
