• Exploring ColdFusion 9 Implicit (Synthesized) Getter And Setter Behavior

  Posted on Mar 31, 2011 at 5:43 AM

  @Nelle I agree with that inconsistency too. And I'll follow up with another of my own :) [rant] It's almost as frustrating as the way you have to scope everything as LOCAL or var in CFC functions lest they end up in the VARIABLES scope. It's actually backwards compared to lots of... read more »

• Exploring ColdFusion 9 Implicit (Synthesized) Getter And Setter Behavior

  Posted on Mar 31, 2011 at 4:39 AM

  The most frustrating thing for me about using implicit setters and getters is that the 'default' attribute on the <cfpoperty> tag is not respected, and there is no default value written to the VARIABLES scope when the CFC is created. S... read more »

• Changes In CFLocation / OnRequestEnd Behavior In ColdFusion 9's Application.cfc

  Hi Manjukiran, that link appears to be broken for me. I am very interested in the performance aspect. For me - not having a fine bead on the DB tier for high-performance application is a worry to me. I used OJB ( http://db.apache.org/ojb/ ) b... read more »

• Adobe Announces That HomeSite Is Officially Dead

  Posted on Jul 3, 2009 at 11:53 AM

  If Adobe do as good a job with Bolt as they did with Flex Builder (and I'm talking about code completion - not sure how practical this is with an interpreted language!) it will really help keep/attract developers. I use CF Eclipse and it beats anything else out now - but still leaves me frustrate... read more »

• Ask Ben: Formatting A Date Span In ColdFusion

  Actually, when I said 'you' I meant it in the plural sense :) There are times when you cannot beat icu4j - that goes without saying.... read more »
