Someone beat you to the punch Sean, sorry :-) The original comment made it sound like a new feature as in NEW (not old) rather than the word new.
Although as I said it will be gr8 if it gets round the need for CreateObject(java) but even so then sadly this won't be useful until all the frameworks rewrite the code to use it and customers do the same. Sandboxing in CF has improved very slowly over the years and the CF9 changes do at least allow you to isolate some Java methods, which is something I have been suggesting for years, but I think CF probably needs to take a whole new approach to security. Obviously the Railo method of separate contexts with their own admin is the best solution, but they could augment this further to also sandbox any JAVA calls so that there can be no I/O activity outside the context root at all unless expressly permitted.

Why can't Russ be more specific?" :) So now CFML has a 'new' keyword that works just like 'new' in other languages: a = new SomeType(42); // equivalent to a = createObject( 'component', 'SomeType' ).init( 42 ); -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN Railo Technologies, Inc. -- http://getrailo.com/ An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:339303 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
