Hi everyone! I'm working on a project that will be using bit flags to indicate things like status flags, categories and properties throughout the system. The database designer has specified 64 bit integer fields for these and is talking about possibly going higher, but according to the documentation ColdFusion's bitwise functions only operate on 32 bit integers. Although I didn't do any math past year 10 at high school, I'm pretty sure that means 31 possible categories (discounting one bit for the sign), although the number of *combinations* of categories is massive.
I'm assuming the next step then is to look at Java equivalents to CF's bitwise operators. Is there a wrapper CFC available (*hopeful*) or can anyone give me any tips or pointers (or tell me I'm dumb and I've overlooked something obvious)? Thanks heaps!
