>- see footer for list info -< You ask for the most useful improvements between 5 and 7. Goodness, that's a LOT. You have CFMX 6, 6.1, and 7, each of which added more stuff. And beyond that, there are the subjects of "what's new" and "what will happen to your code".
I don't know of any one document that tries to attest to all of that, and there may well be articles in the CFDJ or elsewhere that have attempted to, but fortunately for you Adobe has put together a site aggregating their articles for helping ease such a migration: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/migrating.html There are many useful articles there, and perhaps for you the order would be: Migrating Your Application to ColdFusion MX: Make your transition from ColdFusion 5 to ColdFusion MX trouble-free. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/articles/migrating.html Making a Good Thing Better: Introducing ColdFusion MX 6.1: Ben Forta reviews the most important features in ColdFusion MX 6.1. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/articles/intro_61.html And then a set of ones on CF7: Introducing ColdFusion MX 7: Get an overview of the hot new features in ColdFusion MX 7-the most customer-driven release to date. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/articles/intro_cf7.html Ben Forta's Blackstone Tour Report: Hear all about the new ColdFusion version and its developer-driven feature set. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/articles/blackstone.html There are still more on migration, specifically, for both CFMX and older apps: Migrating Apps to ColdFusion MX 7: Read about important changes in ColdFusion MX 7 and how to address them in your applications for migration. http://www.adobe.com/go/cfmx7_migrationdoc Tips for CFMX-ifying ColdFusion Applications: Update your older ColdFusion apps to the MX version and improve maintainability and functionality. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/articles/updating_legacy.html ColdFusion MX Migration Overview: Identify all the areas you should consider in developing your ColdFusion MX migration plan. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/articles/migration_overview.html That's not all that's on that page, but it gives you a taste and should certainly help get you started. /charlie http://www.carehart.org/blog/ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Snake Sent: Friday, August 04, 2006 9:42 AM To: 'Coldfusion Development' Subject: RE: [CF-Dev] WDDX Hidden Field Problem >- see footer for list info -< If WDDX is causing you problems, you could always use XML or JSON Russ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of RichL Sent: 04 August 2006 14:28 To: Coldfusion Development Subject: Re: [CF-Dev] WDDX Hidden Field Problem >- see footer for list info -< we don't use session scope for variable storage here for some reason ... not my decision !
