He mostly talked about the ORM features being backed into the next version of ColdFusion courtesy of Hibernate. We also squeezed a few other tidbits of information out of him too.

However, I fear that I only ever understood it from an object-external standpoint. From my original testing, I believe that I came to the conclusion that OnMissingMethod() only works from outside of the given object and not from within it. However, after some discussion with Peter Bell , I was made to think that it did, in fact, work from within an Object, but onl ...&amp;nbsp;Read More&amp;nbsp;&amp;raquo; http://www.fullasagoog.com/go.cfm?itemid=B5248749-A36F-1879-D9D63D4EA1D3D201 ColdFusionMX Ben Nadel 2008-11-20T01:25:49+10:00 The other day, I was working on an in-line-editing style datagrid and in order to minimize the datagrid's AJAX calls (required for saving), I wanted to only save records that have been altered in some way.

We announced just minutes ago in the day 2 key note at MAX that the CF team at Adobe is hard at work on an Eclipse based IDE for ColdFusion development, codenamed Bolt. The codename Bolt comes from some nostalgia of the past lightning bolt in the old CF logo but also reminds us that CF is RAD and we're commmitted to giving CF developers more RAD tools and features.

Brian Meloche (moderator) Adam Haskell (representing Fusebox) Ray Camden (representing Model-Glue) Chris Peters (representing ColdFusion on Wheels) Mark Mandel, of Transfer fame, but Transfer is an ORM framework, not a controller framework, so he wasn't representing it.
