Topics
*Introducing the Adobe ColdFusion Extensions for Eclipse*
Not to be confused with the CFEclipse <http://www.cfeclipse.org/>
plugin, the Adobe ColdFusion Extensions for Eclipse are a set of very
useful tools that many developers have missed. In this session, veteran
CFer Charlie Arehart will introduce the extensions, including how to
find and install them, as well how to use them to browse datasources and
build queries, generate code using wizards, browse CFCs and web
services, view log files, and debug CF apps (in CF 8, and discussed only
briefly). Note that most of the features shown apply to CF7 as well.
*CF 8 Enterprise Multi-User Admin & RDS Feature*
ColdFusion 8 Enterprise offers a powerful new feature that many have
missed and which hasn’t been talked about much: multiple user access for
the CF Administrator, and for RDS. As opposed to the traditional “one
ring to rule them all” single Admin (and RDS) password, this new feature
provides for separate usernames (and corresponding passwords) and, more
important, for each username you can define what parts of the
Administrator they can access, including access to the new Server
Monitor, the Administrator API, and more.
And for those using RDS, a username can be given to each developer to
permit them access to RDS-based features in Eclipse, Dreamweaver, and
HomeSite+, including query building, CFC browsing, server file access,
CFML debugging, and more. Combined with the Sandbox security feature,
such RDS users can be restricted in what directories and datasources
they can access.
In this talk, Charlie Arehart will introduce these features, explain
their benefit and some gotchas, and walk through implementing and using
them.
