Topics
Introducing the Adobe ColdFusion Extensions for Eclipse
Not to be confused with the CFEclipse 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.
