Re: ColdFusion 10 and beyond
Well sort of.we developed our platform after about a decade of work with BC fisheries.but it's a globally available platform and is in use in the Northeast US and BCmore coming online soon.and a new website for it. We've actually dropped OpenBD for AIR onboardOpenBD was great, but for us AIR is betterso no slagging of OpenBD here...was quite impressed with it and the team behind it.

Re: ColdFusion 10 and beyond
I think you misunderstand what he meant ray, CFC's are not blocked, that would be silly, , but some of the functionality BlogCFC and many other apps require is CreateObject(java) and many even use the CF runtime. Many hosts block these for good reason, as they circumvent any sandbox security that may be setup and do present a security issue. Unfortunately most developers simply do not understand the security side of things and do not consider shared hosting when developing their apps, so their answer is always find another host host, which invariably means find an insecure host who don;t care about security.

Re: ColdFusion 10 and beyond
well if they do that then they clealry have no idea no what they are doing with CF, as many don't. The only things that need to be disabled are CFEXECUTE CFREGISTRY Createobject(com) CreateObject(java) It it a bit of a catch 22 though, as most customers need CreateObject(java) these days, if you don't enable it then you lose customers, if you enable it you risk your security. If your security gets compromised, all those customers who insisted on having it enabled will then blast you for doing so.

you probably have a lot of errors.

Re: ColdFusion 10 and beyond
Nah, WordPress is just slow. Clicking Dashboard takes up to 5 seconds for me on the hosted version consistently. And WordPress does seem to do some pretty intelligent ( though slow as crap ) caching on every change to any of your content, which is worth it to them and their scale I'm sure but annoying to users. I just logged into my WordPress and made a 1 sentence change to a post from earlier today to verify, it was about 5 seconds before the post was updated and I got a response from the server. That with speedtest.net reporting 22 Mbps down and 4.84 up with cloud streaming in Zune and no other network traffic active. Don't get me wrong, WordPress is great. But it's not anything astounding.

Re: ColdFusion 10 and beyond
I'm concerned that at some point Adobe will pull the plug on CF as free PHP continues to grow its user base. I know that there is an open source version of CF, but I'm not sure if it has Enterprise features such as the ability to create load balanced multiple instances. What's the general feeling about this? Should I be concerned? Is there any work being done on ColdFusion 10? Out of curiosity, did you even try Googling ColdFusion 10? Because that would probably answer your question. I'm not trying to be disagreeable, but this gets rehashed constantly - people are always predicting the death of CF, and have been since version 2.

What's the general feeling about this? Should I be concerned? Is there any work being done on ColdFusion 10? At RIACon in Rockville just this last weekend, there were six(?) members of the CF team from Bangalore including the Product Marketing Manager and security czar. There was a lot of content on Zeus in the presentations. They also stated that it would be out next year. (No I don't know if that meant Dec 2012 or Jan 2012.) From everything I saw and heard, ColdFusion 10 is going to be a great improvement and in ways that may not be obvious at first. There are many new security tags. There is a huge improvement in the administrator that we saw including one-click hot fixes. These things were in the presentations and no one had to sign NDAs so I assume the information is out in the wild. I got a great feeling of relief in meeting and talking with the team from Adobe. I was wondering the same thing you were before and wondering if this move to Bangalore was the first step in the demise of the product. Now, I am looking ahead at many more years of developing in my favorite system. The Adobe engineering and marketing team were very impressive. In September, the new product manager and other staff will be at NCDevCon in Raleigh http://ncdevcon.com/ You should be there to hear the news for yourself.

Re: ColdFusion 10 and beyond
Because I was refactoring a large number of websites, and am getting ready to launch a major new site that will generate a substantial part of my revenue in the future, I did a very extensive cost benefit ratio study on all three CF engines, and some memory and performance testing of my own before making the decision to go with Railo. My biggest complaint with ACF is the cost.

Also, to Richard's comment about enterprise features like clustering: that's a feature of the JEE system, not the CFML engine, so yes Railo's great in a cluster. In fact, Railo has features for clustering that ACF does not have, such as the ability to use a shared cache or storage system (ehCache etc) for session scope which is great for failover without needing to worry about session replication etc. Railo supports many different caching systems (and can even use MongoDB and CouchDB as a cache!). Railo also provides a complete Web Administrator for each web application context, completely isolated from others, with a Server Administrator to control overall defaults and security access etc (so it's great for shared hosting - check out Alurium which offers Railo-based shared hosting for as little as $3 / month). And, just to echo what others have said, Adobe's hard at work on the next version of ColdFusion with a lot of great features and has also invested a lot of time and effort into a really good dedicated IDE in the shape of ColdFusion Builder - a product I love and use pretty much 24x7!
