Four easy steps to get the free Railo CFML engine up and running as a J2EE app and linked to a front end Apache.
We'll pretend your application lives in /parth/to/dir/above/web/root/webrootdir this is the DocumentRoot of your Apache and the root (default) context of Tomcat.
1. Download Tomcat 6 from the nice folks at Apache and install it.
Configure a new Host entry in it's server.xml for your new Apache web root.
It's nearly time to go back 'up north' for the ColdFusion confusion - Scotch on the Rocks, and Fusion Authority has an excellent interview with organiser Kev McCave.
I'm looking forward to going again more and more as time goes past, and have started marking up the agenda - sometimes choosing a track is hard !
Hope to see you all there in two-ish weeks !(yes, another AIR success story, but it's mine :-) )
My wife and I are lucky enough to get the same train in and out of the city, and it was on the journey home on Friday that she mentioned some work flow changes in her office. The upshot of these changes was that she was having to look at raw XML files many times a day.
I foolishly mentioned I could probably knock something up 'in a few hours' to make this a lot easier.
You should run, not walk, to the nearest Adobe Flash Player download page, and install version v9.0.124.
Note, this is not some small fry error about connecting to sockets, or cross-domain access like what was in the other recent update.
This is SkyNet vs. Alien for the bragging rights over control of your computer.
From Flash (and therefore Flex too).
I don't normaly do the whole 'meme of the week' thing, but I thought the one on Stuff That Happens was interesting.

The server that runs our web sites and house intranet is only a little better. Can you tell I just log in to do stuff most of the time ?
Adobe ColdFusion has been making a lot of people take a second look towards its direction lately, and it is with good reason. It's simply the best application server and software language for application coding especially with the way today's broadband technology are set up.
I'm always saying how good ColdFusion is, and now we have proof that ColdFusion rocks.
Not that I'd ever party on a table, oh no... :-)
If you have ColdFusion 8, with CFCs exposed for remote access, with methods marked 'access="remote"' you probably did not know that this also meant any methods marked 'access="public"' could also be invoked remotely.
The obvious security problems now have a fix in the form of hot fix 71471 and it's associated KB article #40332.
You should apply this as soon as you can if your ColdFusion objects are being used by a Flex client, for instance.
