[cfaussie] CF + Java + Jabber XMPP + Ajax wrapped in Web 2 = ?

2007-07-26 Thread Daniel Haigh

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to share a CF/Java project that we have recently
launched.

The site is Oasis Active (www.oasisactive.com). It is fully developed
in Coldfusion 7 with
a lot of web 2 concepts. The site is entirely developed using Ajax
(with back button support of course!)
 - and is just really cool!

It utilises an advanced messaging and presence service using the
Jabber protocol and Openfire. The instant messaging can connect on the
direct jabber ports directly from the client or downgrade
automatically to http binding when firewalled. Messaging and presence
is instant. instant instant! (I had to learn the Jabber protocol..
aargh!)

If anyone is interested in any of the principles behind this site let
me know and I would be happy to talk about them - especially jabber. I
hope someone finds this interesting.

Enjoy!
Daniel

Openfire... by www.igniterealtime.org

We had to develop our own plugins and extend the protocol a bit to
support what we wanted,
but their software is great and open source.

We updated two client libraries you can find on the web... one in

javascript supporting http binding (jsjac).

[cfaussie] Re: CF8 free upgrade (buy cfmx7 now or wait?)

2007-07-26 Thread michael sharman

Hi guys,

I'm in the unfortunate position where I HAVE to get a license of
ColdFusion on a server by Monday at the latest.

Of course I'm waiting for 8 like everyone else, I called Adobe and
they said although they have 'free upgrades' to other Adobe software
(like creative suite CS3) they haven't heard anything about
ColdFusion.

I've read mentioned (and thought about it myself) installing the trial
version of CFMX 7 Standard on a production server then upgrade to 8.
Providing v8 was out within 30 days would this actually work? Would
you need a fresh uninstall/re-install?

Just trying to figure out options and possible downtime etc.

 that's a fair point, Andrew. The 1st July (Buntel's Middle of the

 The thing is that the launch party...

 you just have to remember that it's A launch party, not THE launch
 party. I mean have you seen it mentioned anywhere Adobe-official? is
 there any word on the Adobe labs site? Can that date be proved?

 anything else is pure speculation, surely? Perhaps it's just getting
 in early to advertise an event because, by reckoning, it must be
 soon-ish, running the risk that the following month will probably be
 too late for a party.

   I'd wait,

   Unless you want to buy a subscription, just wait.

   They may release with a if you purchased in the last 30 days policy, but
  it's a gamble.

   Just get your client on the 30 day Enterprise Trial, then buy CF8, it will
  be out within 30 days.

   I can not be discussing the new version release dates or information with
  you at all and distributors do not get involved in any free upgrade issues.
  That will be the responsibility of the end user(Your customer)

   Just wondering where I should go to to ask this question? I know knocking
  on Adobes door is wasted time as they never reply to any email send to them.
  Does anyone know?

[cfaussie] Re: CF8 free upgrade (buy cfmx7 now or wait?)

2007-07-26 Thread Dale Fraser

Robin,

I agree with you, but if they release on 8/8 then people (including myself)
will think that this was always the date and they worked to this date and
not when the software was necessarily ready. I don't have a problem with
this, it's a deadline and if you don't set deadlines then the release can be
dragged back and back for a long time.

We will just have to wait and see what Wednesday week holds. Mind you there
are probably people on this list that know already.

Regards
Dale Fraser

Hey Dale,

Remember when Macromedia didn't have public betas and was really  
tight lipped about its release timetables etc?  In the old days Tim  
Buntel wouldn't have been able to say |Middle| of 2007 at WebDU, and  
the first you would have heard about a new release would be... when  
it was released.

As you know you cant fix a software release date without compromising  
quality (mumble MX2004 mumble) and I'd rather see a release up to a  
few months late than released with bugs, particularly for a server  
product.  You're right that it probably hurts sales, but that's  
always the tradeoff for software companies being more open about  
releases.

And everyone remember, license subscriptions were created precisely  
for this reason, to allow you to buy CF at any time without having to  
worry about release timing.

So, we can't have it both ways, but I'm sure you and the rest of the  
CF community would agree that the current situation is as Jack Aubrey  
would say the lesser of two weevils.

Cheers,
Robin

[cfaussie] Re: CF8 free upgrade (buy cfmx7 now or wait?)

2007-07-26 Thread Barry Beattie

 @Dale
8/8 Release is most likely.

you're right, it certianly sounds good: CF8 on the 8th of the 8th**

besides, when do people need an excuse to have a party? Bring it on.


@Andrew
Was there this much excitement for v7?

well the beta CF8 seems to have heaps of stuff in it, Charlie
Arehart's Gems presso just kept rolling out the ... er... gems...

and besides, CF7 didn't seem to suffer the rubbish journalism about CF
being dead. Now's a time to prove them wrong with a bit of a fuss. As
I said before - who needs an excuse to par-tae?

Hey Dale,

Remember when Macromedia didn't have public betas and was really  
tight lipped about its release timetables etc?  In the old days Tim  
Buntel wouldn't have been able to say |Middle| of 2007 at WebDU, and  
the first you would have heard about a new release would be... when  
it was released.

As you know you cant fix a software release date without compromising  
quality (mumble MX2004 mumble) and I'd rather see a release up to a  
few months late than released with bugs, particularly for a server  
product.  You're right that it probably hurts sales, but that's  
always the tradeoff for software companies being more open about  
releases.

And everyone remember, license subscriptions were created precisely  
for this reason, to allow you to buy CF at any time without having to  
worry about release timing.

So, we can't have it both ways, but I'm sure you and the rest of the  
CF community would agree that the current situation is as Jack Aubrey  
would say the lesser of two weevils.

Cheers,
Robin

And the good thing about the 08/08 date is it wont matter how you display
your dates :-) [MM/DD | DD/MM]

 @Dale, that's what I'm saying:

 the Adobe user group are not Adobe employees. they're an old,
 experianced CFUG Ben is blogging about.

 their name is just blurring the lines between the definitive and
 indefinite articles (a vs an) in their name.

 the link goes to here:

 About

 UseAdobe is the #1 site for Adobe Fans!

 That's right, we're talking Adobe FANATICS!  Our site and our meetings
 are dedicated to designers, developers and everyday business users who
 LOVE Adobe software products.

 Way back in 1996 ...

 We founded the very first ever ColdFusion User Group aka CFUG.  Back
 then, ColdFusion was made by the Allaire Corporation.

 Years later, Allaire and Macromedia merged, bringing together great
 software products such as Flash and ColdFusion, among others.  That's
 when the CFUG merged with the long-running Washington Area Macromedia
 Organization (WAMMO).

 We opperated WAMMO just like the CFUGs with monthly meetings featuring
 great speakers like Ben Forta, Steve Drucker, Dave Watts, Mike
 Chambers, Dave Gruber, Tim Buntel and others.  Members loved the chewy
 goodness of the technical presentations and the plentiful code
 samples.

 Following the acquisition of Macromedia by Adobe, we thought carefully
 about what our user group means to those that participate.  We
 realized that this larger company serves many more types of users;
 designers, developers, business people and people from all walks of
 life who experience the results of what has been created using Adobe
 software.

 This site is for you ... the Adobe user!  It is for all of us.  We
 invite you to stand up, say your name and proudly proclaim: I
 UseAdobe.

 Fanatically Yours,
 Bret Peters

2007-07-26 Thread Dale Fraser

Yes it would work.

Download and install the CF8 Trial, install as 30 day not developer, which
means you get full features.

When CF8 is released (safe bet for 30 days) backup your settings in a CAR
then

Uninstall CF7
Install CF8

Restore your settings. An upgrade might work also, but I couldn't tell you
yet, the above method will definitely work.

I really don't know why Adobe are playing these games, just hurting sales I
would have thought. Why announce Launch Parties and not announce Release and
Pricing.

Hi guys,

I'm in the unfortunate position where I HAVE to get a license of
ColdFusion on a server by Monday at the latest.

Of course I'm waiting for 8 like everyone else, I called Adobe and
they said although they have 'free upgrades' to other Adobe software
(like creative suite CS3) they haven't heard anything about
ColdFusion.

I've read mentioned (and thought about it myself) installing the trial
version of CFMX 7 Standard on a production server then upgrade to 8.
Providing v8 was out within 30 days would this actually work? Would
you need a fresh uninstall/re-install?

Just trying to figure out options and possible downtime etc.

 that's a fair point, Andrew. The 1st July (Buntel's Middle of the

 The thing is that the launch party...

 you just have to remember that it's A launch party, not THE launch
 party. I mean have you seen it mentioned anywhere Adobe-official? is
 there any word on the Adobe labs site? Can that date be proved?

 anything else is pure speculation, surely? Perhaps it's just getting
 in early to advertise an event because, by reckoning, it must be
 soon-ish, running the risk that the following month will probably be
 too late for a party.

   I'd wait,

   Unless you want to buy a subscription, just wait.

   They may release with a if you purchased in the last 30 days policy,
but
  it's a gamble.

   Just get your client on the 30 day Enterprise Trial, then buy CF8, it
will
  be out within 30 days.

   I can not be discussing the new version release dates or information

  That will be the responsibility of the end user(Your customer)

  Does anyone know?
