I did yesterday a presentation at the Orlando User Group, ADOGO, and it went awesome. Thanks Brian and crew for hosting me. The presentation covers some theory but we did a lot of hands on. I showed off event caching, scaffolding support via illudium, even ses support, and much much more. So check it out at the following URL:

Apart from Trac which is an excellent bugtracker for open source projects. How about for closed projects? Anybody have any recommendations? It should be able to create several projects and keep track of bugs and issues. Anybody have any recommendations?

I have experienced certain error on coldfusion 8, when trying to instantiate a webservice:

ws = createObject("webservice","http://localhost/test.cfc?wsdl");

The error that I receive is the following:

coldfusion.jsp.JavaCompiler$UnknownCompiler: Unable to run the internal Java compiler: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/tools/StandardJavaFileManager.

I have found an interesting bug on ColdFusion 8 and the multi-threaded capabilities of ColdBox. This is only to specific coldbox installation setups:

1) Virtual Folder in IIS

2) Apache Alias

If you use an alias or a virtual folder for installing coldbox, you will run into errors that the spawned threads will not be able to actually find the instantiation paths. Example:

coldbox.system.beans.requestContext

It seems that the coldfusion 8 spawned thread cannot find or use the virtual aliases or apache aliases.

So if I cannot find a solution, which seems like I won't be able to. Then I will remove the installation type of aliases and virtual directories for colfusion 8 and bluedragon 7.

It seems that the installation procedures will have to remain as physical folders or coldfusion mappings only.

Please test this and let me know your results.

That will tell you everything.

I will be presenting to the Orlando CFUG (ADOGO) on December 3rd. Here is the primer:

I will be taking them in a quick tour of ColdBox and its new 2.5.0 features. I will also show them some quick application demos and run through.

Thanks Brian and ADOGO Crew for having me!!

Keep a close eye on the wiki as all the documentation is getting revamped and updated. I am about 75% done with all the new docs and guides. Here is just a brief overview of the new guides:

Well, a second opportunity to deliver "Down & Dirty With ColdBox 2.5.0 - Who, What, Why?" this coming Thursday. We had all the technical difficulties imaginable last time. Hopefully, we will do better this time. My Friend Josh Giese will be helping me out with his FIOS and awesome equipment. So I can't fail!!

Well, the last piece of the puzzle is complete and ready for testing, SES support via ColdCourse.
