• A Better Understanding Of MVC (Model-View-Controller) Thanks To Steven Neiland

  Posted on May 23, 2012 at 11:04 AM

  It was all enigma for me too, even when I started using Model Glue several years ago, it was not clear what Ms, Vs, Cs are. It was so until I started using FW1, then it snapped. Everything became clear. Nowadays I look at an application like at a desktop program with a single entry point -... read more »

• ColdFusion 10 - Script vs. Tags And My Coding Methodology

  Posted on Apr 15, 2012 at 2:36 AM

  Script style coding is a bliss for me. I leave tag-style only for the view and SQL processing components (gateway CFCs etc). Nowadays I even think of cfml (tags) as a view engine. The rest, e.g. controllers and the model, is all in cf script.... read more »

• Learning ColdFusion 9: ArrayFind() And ArrayContains() For Searching Arrays

  Posted on Mar 12, 2012 at 4:28 AM

  I just ran into a problem when I used ArrayFind to compare level ONE objects that have nested level TWO objects that themselves have reference to level ONE objects to which they belong. So I got StackOverFlow exception in 80-90% cases, which is interesting. The exception wouldn't occur 100... read more »

• ColdFusion 10 Beta, Apache Tomcat, And Symbolic Links On Mac OSX

  Posted on Feb 19, 2012 at 10:18 PM

  Ben, do you plan to do some performance comparison of scripts running on CF9 and CF10? I am (.. we all yeah!) very interested in what Tomcat brings us. A long awaited upgrade for our lovely CF.... read more »

• Learning ColdFusion 9: CFScript Updates For ColdFusion Components

  Posted on Sep 13, 2011 at 12:44 AM

  @Todd Rafferty, I think you meant this: <cfset girl = new Girl(name = "Tricia", hair = "Brunette") /> So you don't pass it as struct, but as a collection of attribute name / value pairs; of course in this case the order of arguments is not important an... read more »

• ColdFusion Query-Of-Queries vs. The Group Attribute In CFOutput

  Posted on Jun 20, 2011 at 1:36 AM

  Let me add my opinion too please. Databases are evolving; with every edition they include new functionality which lets developers retrieve very sophisticated sets of information in more structured way. We must use these new features, as long as we write our SQL statements ourselves. It is really... read more »

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

  Posted on May 15, 2011 at 11:22 AM

  Does anybody know if it is possible to track if any of set methods of a component has been called (in other words, if a component's state has changed since it has been initiated)? I need this because I don't think there is sense to save an entity to a database, unless it has been changed. With ex... read more »

• Using The XPath String() Function In XmlSearch() To Aggregate Node Text In ColdFusion

  Posted on May 9, 2011 at 2:58 PM

  Again, ColdFusion proves to be a very versatile and flexible tool by providing several possible types of output of XmlSearch function depending on the type of Xpath we use (this is described in the documentation, basically XmlSearch returns the same type of data as the function used in X... read more »

• Aggregating XML Node Text In A ColdFusion XML Document

  Posted on May 8, 2011 at 12:10 AM

  This is not exactly what you are talking about here (or is it?), but I also often use Xpath's string() function to get the same result:   <cfset Result = XmlSearch(data,"string(/data/message)")/>   <cfdump var="... read more »
