But, since some people don't make it a habit to read documentation, I wanted to share this fact more widely and with much excitement: the CFQueryParam tag accepts arrays for its value attribute. And, when given an array, the tag will seamless convert the parameter into a list-based parameter. This is just one of the many developer ergonomic niceties that comes with Lucee CFML.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4128-cfqueryparam-value-attribute-seamlessly-handles-arrays-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-7-47.htm Blog - Ortus Solutions - CommandBox 5.4.2 Released!There is a new update for CommandBox CLI available.  Version 5.4.2 is a patch update that contains a few bug fixes including two important ones.

And, to make this DAL more flexible, I tend to create some sort of "By Filter" function that allows me to query a given table using a variety of WHERE conditions. In order to make this query "simple", I'll start it with a WHERE TRUE condition so that every subsequent condition can uniformly start with AND. I recently read something somewhere (source forgotten) that indicated such an approach would cause index issues; however, this does not jive with what I read in High Performance MySQL. As such, I wanted to put together a quick exploration to see how using WHERE TRUE would affect MySQL's query planner outcomes.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4127-using-where-true-to-create-dynamic-high-performance-sql-queries-in-mysql-5-7-32-and-lucee-cfml-5-3-8-201.htm Tweet - Brad Wood - Playwright Website Screenshots Task Runner@uniquetrio2000 asked me to help figure out the Playwright Java lib which lets you take screenshots of websites.  It works pretty well once it downloads all its assets.

Meaning, almost every numeric value that I deal with falls below 4.29 billion, which is the maximum value that can be stored in an unsigned integer. So, it's not surprising that I don't have a great mental model for what happens in ColdFusion and MySQL when we venture beyond that data-type maximum. That said, I have need of a MySQL table that uses BIGINT instead of INTEGER as its auto-incrementing primary key. And, I want to make sure that nothing will explode when I transport large numbers across the divide between MySQL 5.7.32 and Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4125-testing-bigint-auto-increment-usage-in-mysql-5-7-32-and-lucee-cfml-5-3-8-201.htmTweet - Carlos Arizpe - ColdfusionDudeColdFusion Dude Tattoo!!!!https://twitter.com/Fenhir/status/1444441922609848321CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 202 ColdFusion positions from 94 companies across 116 locations in 5 Countries.4 new jobs listedFull-Time - Backend Developer - Amerisave Mortgage - ColdFusion/SQL at United StatesPosted Oct 05https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/Backend-Developer-ColdFusionSQL-at-United-States/11350Full-Time - SE/SSE/Team Lead-Coldfusion at Kochi, Kerala - IndiaPosted Oct 02https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/india/SESSETeam-LeadColdfusion-at-Kochi-Kerala/11349Full-Time - Senior Coldfusion Developer |LATAM| at Colon, PA - United States Posted Oct 01https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/Senior-Coldfusion-Developer-LATAM-at-Colon-PA/11348Full-Time - ColdFusion Developer at Atlanta, GA - United States Posted Sep 29https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/ColdFusion-Developer-at-Atlanta-GA/11347ForgeBox Module of the WeekCommandbox-dotenv New update with new features when starting servers.(From the docs:)When starting up a server, this package will look for a .env file in the webroot of the server starting.

These values are now available in your web application using the java.lang.System object and the getProperties() or getProperty(name, defaultValue) methods (Note: the keys are case-sensitive).To point to a custom properties file to be loaded in addition to the convention .env file above, you can set a dotenvFile key in your server.json or config setting server.defaults.```server set dotenvFile=foo.properties```You can also set a comma-delimited list of paths using file globbing patterns.```# Load all properties files in the web root as well as foo.properties in the config folder.server set dotenvFile=*.properties,config/foo.properties```https://forgebox.io/view/commandbox-dotenvVS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the WeekVSCode Livestream - Cool VS Code tips and tricks!Hi, I'm James (@jamesqquick) and I'm a software developer.

Previously it was offered as an open source platform but that support ended in August of this year.As seasoned MURA users – with some big clients running it – this could have presented a major problem. So, we came up with a solution… and we’re proud to announce that We Are Orange has forked the project and are now supporting a new version – called MASA – continuing its lifespan as an open source platform.https://www.weareorange.eu/updates/from-mura-to-masa Blog - Ben Nadel - Exploring The Scope Of SERIALIZABLE Transaction Row-Locking In Lucee CFML 5.3.7.47Earlier this week, I looked at using SERIALIZABLE transactions to enforce unique naming constraints in MySQL and Lucee CFML. Transaction isolation isn't a topic that I'm super comfortable with. As such, I wanted to continue exploring the way in which transaction locking affects concurrent access to a given database table. More specifically, I wanted to better understand the scope of row-locking that is applied in a SERIALIZABLE transaction in MySQL 5.7.32 and Lucee CFML 5.3.7.47.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4122-exploring-the-scope-of-serializable-transaction-row-locking-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-7-47.htm Blog - Ben Nadel - CFThread "ElapsedTime" Is Not "Processor Time" In Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201This morning, as I was trying to perform some follow-up exploration on SERIALIZABLE transactions in MySQL, I noticed something strange about the metadata exposed by the CFThread tag in Lucee CFML. Whereas Adobe ColdFusion (ACF) documents the ElapsedTime property as being "The amount of processor time that was spent handling the thread", this property looks to mean something different in Lucee CFML. It appears to be the amount of time that has elapsed since the CFThread tag was spawned; but, has nothing to do with when it ended; or, how much time it took to execute.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4121-cfthread-elapsedtime-is-not-processor-time-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-8-201.htm Blog - Ben Nadel - Fixing Protocols In My ColdFusion Custom Tag DSL For HTML EmailsLast week, I looked at the fact that [Yahoo! Mail won't render href attributes with encoded protocols]. In that post, I created a ColdFusion user defined function (UDF) to un-encoded the https:// portion of the href attribute. After letting that approach bake in production at InVison for a while without an issues, I've decided to move the fix into my ColdFusion custom tag DSL for HTML emails. With this new implementation, I've pushed the logic down into the <html:a> and <html:src> custom tag implementations so that the developer can continue to use these tags without any changes to their code.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4123-fixing-protocols-in-my-coldfusion-custom-tag-dsl-for-html-emails.htm Blog - Ben Nadel - Request Tracing Propagation When Consuming Amazon SQS Queues In Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201As I continue to explore the use of Amazon SQS queues in Lucee CFML, I have to start thinking about request tracing. In a monolithic application, request tracing is much less of a value-add since most operations happen within a single request. Once I start using a message queue to decouple steps within a larger workflow, however, I break out of that single-request boundary. As such, if I want to identify "message creation" as being related to "message consumption", I have to propagate the concept of tracing through the message queue life-cycle. I'm sure there are loads of ways to do this. So, what follows is just one possible way to propagate request tracing through Amazon SQS in a Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201 application.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4118-request-tracing-propagation-when-consuming-amazon-sqs-queues-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-8-201.htm Tweet - Ben Nadel - Too Clever or Too Cool - Execute assignments as part of return statementsI am sure many people will hate this syntax / technique. But, I love the fact that #Lucee #CFML allows me to execute assignments as part of return statements. This allows my #ColdFusion to look more and more like my #JavaScript. Both of which are my happy place! ?https://twitter.com/BenNadel/status/1439532846528479235 https://twitter.com/BenNadel/ Blog - Ben Nadel - Spreading Http And HttpParam Tags Across Multiple Function Calls In Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201Back when InVision was running on Adobe ColdFusion 10, I leaned heavily on the native Http.cfc component when making network requests. However, once we switched over to Lucee CFML 5.3, where tag support in CFScript is much more robust, I found myself reverting back to the http and httpParam tags for network requests. There's something I find so elegant about the syntax of tags and their builder-like pattern of construction. One nice about using the Http.cfc ColdFusion component, however, is that it can be passed around and augmented such as with the injection of tracing headers. This got me thinking about augmenting http tags with httpParam tags; and, whether such an augmentation could be spread across function calls in Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4117-spreading-http-and-httpparam-tags-across-multiple-function-calls-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-8-201.htm Blog - Brad Wood - Ortus Solutions - CommandBox v5.4.1 releasedWe are pleased to announce the release of CommandBox 5.4.1.  This is a patch release with 5 small fixes for the 5.4.0 release.   There are a few bug fixes, and a couple small enhancements in this release.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/commandbox-541-released Blog - Ben Nadel - Yahoo! Mail Does Not Render Anchor Tags With Encoded HREF AttributesWhen rendering view templates in Lucee CFML (or any server-side language for that matter), rule number-one is don't trust the content. This is a corollary to an older rule, don't trust the user. As such, when I render content, I almost always wrap it in one of the many encoding methods that ColdFusion offers: encodeForHtml() or encodeForHtmlAttribute(). And, for the most part, this works wonderfully. However, I just discovered yesterday that Yahoo! Mail won't render Anchor (<a>) tags with fully-encoded href attributes. Specifically, it will strip-out the href attribute entirely if the link protocol is encoded. To fix this, I had to walk-back some of the encoding in my HTML emails. For anyone else that runs into this problem, I thought it might be helpful to put together a demo in Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4115-yahoo-mail-does-not-render-anchor-tags-with-encoded-href-attributes.htm Tweet - Ben Nadel - Undocumented Features that suddenly don’t workHmmm, after installing Adobe #ColdFusion 2018 hotfix earlier this week, I am seeing that this:query[ column_name ].indexOf( value )... no longer works.

For my size team and the type of domain boundaries that we have, a monolith just makes the most sense. And while I've been thrilled with the progress my team has made in its re-consolidation efforts, there's one more microservice that I've had my eye on for a long time. This microservice has eluded my grasp, however, because it interacts with a message queue. And, to date, all parts of the legacy platform that deal with message queues live outside of the monolith. As such, if I ever want to pull this microservice back into the monolith, I have to figure out how to use message queues in ColdFusion. To start with, I wanted to see if I could simply produce and consume Amazon SQS (Simple Queue Service) messages in Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4110-producing-and-consuming-amazon-sqs-messages-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-8-201.htm Blog - Ben Nadel - Separation Of Concerns When Consuming Amazon SQS Queues In Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201Last week, I started to explore the consumption of Amazon SQS (Simple Queue Service) in a Lucee CFML application. That first post was a low-level look at the mechanics of using the AWS (Amazon Web Services) Java SDK to add and remove messages to and from a given queue, respectively. Today, I wanted to step back and start thinking about the separation of concerns in the larger ColdFusion application context.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4111-separation-of-concerns-when-consuming-amazon-sqs-queues-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-8-201.htm Blog - Ben Nadel - Checking CFLock Acquisition Success In Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201Yesterday, in my post about considering the separation of concerns when consuming Amazon SQS queues in Lucee CFML, I created a demo in which I synchronized long-polling requests through the use of an exclusive CFLock tag. For the demo, I had logging in place to trace the workflow of each request; and, as I was putting it together, I noticed that the CFLock tag - at least in Lucee CFML - has an optional result attribute. This result attribute can be used to check whether or not the template was able to successfully access a given lock.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4112-checking-cflock-acquisition-success-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-8-201.htm Blog - Charlie Arehart - Adobe ColdFusion 2021 Docker image now available on dockerhubI’m happy to be able to report that Adobe has finally started putting their ColdFusion Docker images onto Docker hub, for now at least CF2021, which I found was put there last week. We can expect more in time, I’m sure. For more info, read on.This is a follow-up to my post in July reporting how Adobe had announced then their plans to create a Dockerhub repo for ColdFusion, and how they had already started to post images to the Amazon ECR repo for ColdFusion.https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2021/09/adobe-coldfusion-2021-docker-image-now-available-dockerhub/ Blog - Charlie Arehart - Finding default/initial CF admin config (neo-*.xml) files, now at cfmlrepo.comHave you ever wished to obtain a copy of one CF's neo-*.xml files (like neo-cron.xml), for the purpose of setting yours back to its defaults?

In general, relative file paths "just work". They work when performing file I/O; and, as we now know, they work when configuring ColdFusion application mappings.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4106-using-relative-file-paths-to-configure-application-mappings-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-8-201.htmBlog - Ben Nadel - Maintaining Route Information During SPA (Single-Page Application) Authentication In Lucee CFMLThe InVision platform is composed of a series of SPAs - Single-Page Applications - that are rendered with AngularJS on the front-end and powered by Lucee CFML on the back-end. Within each SPA, the current route is stored in the URL fragment (aka, the hash), which allowed client-side routing to work in older browsers such as IE6. The biggest challenge presented by fragment-based routing is that the fragment is never sent to the server during navigation. This makes it hard to maintain proper routing during external login events such as Single Sign-On (SSO). To get around this, I've started to use URL query-string parameters when defining routes in the transactional emails sent out from our Lucee CFML application.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4108-maintaining-route-information-during-spa-single-page-application-authentication-in-lucee-cfml.htmBlog - Ben Nadel - I Wish My Relational Database Tables Were NarrowerNaming things is one of the hardest parts of computer science. Which I believe is a big part of why data modeling is so hard: it's challenging to see how one concept can be decomposed into multiple concepts when you don't know what those smaller concepts are called. This is why my relational database tables tend to get wider over time (ie, gain additional columns). But, after many years of building data-driven application using SQL and ColdFusion, I've come to appreciate how powerful it can be to keep database tables narrower.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4107-i-wish-my-relational-database-tables-were-narrower.htmCFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 180 ColdFusion positions from 85 companies across 111 locations in 5 Countries.2 new jobs listedFull-Time - Senior Coldfusion Developer at Remote - United States Posted Sept 4 https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/Senior-Coldfusion-Developer-LATAM-at-Colon-PA/11327Full-Time Contract - ColdFusion Software Developer - Mid to Senior Level at Remote - United States Posted Sept 4https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/ColdFusion-Software-Developer-Mid-to-Senior-Level-Remote-Position-at-Denver-CO/11328ForgeBox Module of the WeekCBSecurity by Ortus SolutionsNow with Refresh Token support!Refresh token endpoint /cbsecurity/refreshToken for secure refresh token generationManual refresh token method on the JwtService : refreshToken( token )Auto refresh token header interceptions for JWT validatorshttps://forgebox.io/view/cbsecurityhttps://coldbox-security.ortusbooks.com/VS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the WeekSQL ServerMicrosoft - 924,675 downloads - 5 starsWelcome to mssql for Visual Studio Code!

To which, Henry Ho pointed out that he had been using randRange() with the SHA1PRNG algorithm for the same purpose. After Henry's comment, I then played around with generating random bytes using randRange(); however, since I was on Adobe ColdFusion at the time, I had no idea what the actual implement was doing under-the-hood. Now that I'm on Lucee CFML, which is open-source and fully available on GitHub, I can see what is happening; and, according to the source code, the randRange() function-when used with a non-CFMX_COMPAT algorithm-uses the java.security.SecureRandom library in Lucee CFML 5.3.7.47.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4093-randrange-with-algorithm-argument-uses-java-security-securerandom-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-7-47.htm Blog - Adam Cameron - CFML: static methods and propertiesIn Lucee 5.0 (so: ages ago) and ColdFusion 2021 (so: you know… just now), support for static properties and methods was added to CFML. This isn't a feature that you'd use very often, but it's essential to at least know about it. And it's bloody handy, and makes your code clearer sometimes. I had reason to be googling for docs / examples today, and what's out there ain't great so I thought I'd write my own "probably still not great" effort.OK so that's the bar set suitably low. Let's get on with it.https://blog.adamcameron.me/2021/08/cfml-static-methods-and-properties.html Blog - Robert Zehnder - Porting Jasper to FW/1I will be the first to admit, I love Ortus stuff. If I need to pound out some cfml quickly, install dependencies, or write a new blog post I am doing it in a commandbox instance. Whether I am doing and API integration or working on a side project, I am doing it in ColdBox. I find using *box products very comfortable; it is very easy to scaffold an application and get on my way.I like to try to push myself a little, so I thought it might be interesting to see how I would code Jasper if I tried something I was not so comfortable with. I was looking at ways to condense Jasper's code base and FW/1 looked to be a great place to start. FW/1 consists of one file so it is easy to install: box install fw1.https://kisdigital.com/post/2021/08/04/porting-jasper-to-fw1 CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 152 ColdFusion positions from 69 companies across 100 locations in 5 Countries.7 new jobs listedFull-Time - ColdFusion Developer at Kolkata, West Bengal - India Posted Aug 13https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/india/ColdFusion-Developer-at-Kolkata-West-Bengal/11312 Full-Time - Coldfusion Developer at Oregon - United States Posted Aug 11https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/Coldfusion-Developer-at-Oregon/11310Full-Time - ColdFusion Developer (Remote) at London - United Kingdom Posted Aug 11https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-kingdom/ColdFusion-Developer-Remote-at-London/11311Full-Time - Full Stack Developer (VueJS + CFML) at Austin, TX - United States Posted Aug 09https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/FullStackCF-VueJsDev-at-Austin-Tx-US/11309Full-Time - Application Developer at London - United Kingdom Posted Aug 09https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-kingdom/AppDeveloper-at-London-UK/11308Full-Time - Senior Software Developer at Melbourne, FL - United States Posted Aug 06https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/SrSoftwareDev-at-MB-FL-US/11306Full-Time - ColdFusion Developer at Kolkata, West Bengal - India Posted Aug 05https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/india/ColdFusion-Developer-at-Kolkata-West-Bengal/11305Ortus Jobshttps://www.ortussolutions.com/about-us/careers Senior ColdFusion CFML Developer (USA TEAM) Desarollador Web (EL SALVADOR TEAM) ForgeBox Module of the WeekUnleash SDKLibrary for interacting with Unleash feature flagsThis module takes heavy advantage of ColdBox's async scheduling.

What to check, and how to recover!Are you finding problems after applying a CF update? The explanation may be someplace you’re not even looking: the update’s “install log”. And the resolution may be just minutes away!I hear this often: you just applied (or tried to apply) a CF update, and now there’s a problem. Perhaps CF won’t even start, or the admin is failing somehow. “The update is broken!”, you may think, or “CF has a bug in that update!” you may say as you go to open a bug report. You may even be thinking you need to re-install CF. Wait!https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2019/03/problems-applying-cf-update-check-first/ Ben Nadel - Inserting Text At The Last Known Selection / Caret Location In JavaScriptOver the weekend, I added emoji shortcuts just below my comment form. To do this, I had to render the emoji options using Lucee CFML; and then, I had to apply the selected emoji to the textarea using JavaScript. In an effort to always do things incrementally and iteratively, my first (and current) implementation always inserts the emoji at the end of the textarea. But, in my next iteration, I want to insert the emoji at the last known caret / selection location. As such, I wanted to explore that concept in its own little JavaScript demo.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4086-inserting-text-at-the-last-known-selection-caret-location-in-javascript.htm CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 152 ColdFusion positions from 69 companies across 100 locations in 5 Countries.3 new jobs listed this weekFull-Time - ColdFusion Developer at Houston, TX - United States Posted Jul 29https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/ColdFusion-Developer-at-Houston-TX/11303 Full-Time - ColdFusion Specialist at Bengaluru, Karnataka - India Posted Jul 28https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/india/ColdFusion-Specialist-at-Bengaluru-Karnataka/11304 Full-Time - Software Engineer - Adobe ColdFusion at Remote - United States Posted Jul 27https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/Software-Engineer-Adobe-ColdFusion-at-Remote/11302 Ortus Jobs - https://www.ortussolutions.com/about-us/careers Senior ColdFusion CFML Developer (USA TEAM) Desarollador Web (EL SALVADOR TEAM) ForgeBox Module of the Weekbrowserlesscfc A CFML wrapper for the browserless API.

As part of that facilitation, I need to add emoji glyphs to a textarea, which I can do using String.fromCodePoint() in JavaScript. But, in order to render the list of emojis from which people can choose, I need to be able to render emojis using Lucee CFML. A while back, I looked at converting Unicode codepoints to actual String instances using Java and Lucee CFML; but, since this context is going to be an HTML webpage, things get even easier - I can print emoji characters from Unicode codepoints using HTML entities.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4085-printing-emoji-characters-from-unicode-codepoints-using-html-entities-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-7-47.htmCbemoji - https://github.com/coldbox-modules/cbox-emojiCf-emoji-java: https://github.com/JamoCA/cf-emoji-javaBlog - Wil de Bruin - Use THIS in QuickOk, this may sound like a somewhat cryptic title.

Second, soon you will be able to download the Adobe CF images from DockerHub as well (“the way it’s supposed to be”, some would say). There’s no date set for when those will be posted, but indications are that it will be “very soon”, according to Adobe (see below).Finally, the previous repository that Adobe had used, Bintray, announced its closure, to happen May 1. The CF images there did remain accessible until very recently (indeed, as of the date I wrote this, June 17 2021). But as of a check in early July, the repo is indeed gone and pulls from it fail. (If you have images you had previously pulled, those DO still work. But consider the alternatives above, going forward.)https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2021/06/adobe-will-support-dockerhub-soon-and-supports-aws-ecr-now/ CF2018 and CF2021 PreRelease Charlie just updated his post and some of this has changed Support for macOS Big Sur (in ColdFusion, at least.

The presentation covers what feature flags are; how I use them in my day-to-day work; how critical they've become to the product development workflow at InVision; and, how I can't imaging life without them.

It also provides a powerful way to create clients, Builder objects with pre-configured defaults like a base URL or certain headers.Hyper was built after coding several API SDK's for various platforms — S3SDK, cbstripe, and cbgithub, to name a few. I noticed that I spent a lot of time setting up the plumbing for the requests and a wrapper around cfhttp. Each implementation was mostly the same but slightly different. It was additionally frustrating because I really only needed to tweak a few values, usually just the Authorization header. It would be nice to create an HTTP client pre-configured for each of these SDK's.

And, in most cases, I need to execute that zip CLI from a "working directory" in order to maintain the input directory's local folder structure. Historically, I've had to execute the zip command through a proxy command in order to use a working directory. However, with the release of Lucee CFML 5.3.8, the CFExecute tag now has a directory attribute! I'm super excited about this; so, I wanted to take a quick look at how it works.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4074-using-the-directory-attribute-to-invoke-cfexecute-from-a-working-directory-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-8-189.htmBlog - Julian Halliwell - Copying Windows file permissions in LuceeThere is a currently unresolved regression bug in Lucee affecting file uploads, which is worth being aware of.When you upload a file using Lucee it isn't saved directly to the destination path, but is first stored in the server's GetTempDirectory() location before being moved to where you've specified it should be.Having this intermediate step is a sensible security measure as it allows the OS to detect viruses before the file is placed anywhere it might do damage.https://blog.simplicityweb.co.uk/126/copying-windows-file-permissions-in-lucee Blog - Nerd Vision - Java and ColdFusion variablesAt NerdVision we are always open to your feedback, and we want to make NerdVision the best it can be for you! Recently we received some feedback about how we were presenting variables from our Java agent (which is also used for ColdFusion, Groovy, Scala and Kotlin). We are excited to announce a change has been released that addresses this feedback and changes the way some variables are displayed from these environments. Specifically, we have changed the way maps are processed in the agent to handle simple keys in a more intuitive manner.https://www.nerd.vision/post/java-and-coldfusion-variables Blog - Charlie Arehart - FusionReactor 8.7.2 releasedJust a quick note to report that FusionReactor 8.7.2 has been released, on July 5 2021. You can see the changes (new features/improvements) and bug fixes (there are just several rather modest ones this release) in the release notes doc for all FR 8 versions.If you may lose track of that link, note that a link to it is also offered on the FR downloads page, where it appears as a "release notes" link in the blue banner shown above the available downloads.https://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2021/7/6/fusionreactor_8.7.2_released Blog - Charlie Arehart - Proposal: cached queries should have “fromCache” and “wasCached” indicatorsIf you’ve used CF’s query caching features, you almost surely know that when you run a query (or stored proc call) that uses cachedwithin or cachedafter, there will be a “cached” indicator in the resulting query metadata (if you dump it), or the debug output (if you’ve enabled it), or the RESULT struct (if you named one for the query).And that’s always indicated (true or false) whether the result of the query result came from the query cache or not.But the phrase “cached” is actually misleading, as it can be interpreted (especially by a newcomer to query caching) to indicate “whether the query WAS cached” (its results saved TO the query cache). That’s NOT its current purpose, of course.https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2021/07/proposal-cached-queries-fromcache-wascached-indicators/ CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 147 ColdFusion positions from 67 companies across 100 locations in 5 Countries.4 new jobs listed this weekFull-Time - Sr Software Engineer/ColdFusion Developer (Remote) at Reston.. - United States Posted Jul 03https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/Sr-Software-EngineerColdFusion-Developer-Remote-at-Reston-VA/11294 Full-Time - Sr Software Engineer/ColdFusion Developer (Remote) at Reston.. - United States Posted Jul 03https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/Sr-Software-EngineerColdFusion-Developer-Remote-at-Reston-VA/11293 Full-Time -  Coldfusion Developer at Texas - United States Posted Jul 02https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/Coldfusion-Developer-at-Texas/11292 Full-Time - Coldfusion Developer at Bengaluru, Karnataka - IndiaPosted Jul 01https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/india/Coldfusion-Developer-at-Bengaluru-Karnataka/11291 Ortus Jobshttps://www.ortussolutions.com/about-us/careers Senior ColdFusion CFML Developer (USA TEAM) Desarollador Web (EL SALVADOR TEAM) ForgeBox Module of the WeekCommandBox FusionReactorThis module adds support to enable FusionReactor on the servers you start inside CommandBox.For full docs on this module, go here:https://commandbox.ortusbooks.com/embedded-server/fusionreactor https://www.forgebox.io/view/commandbox-fusionreactor VS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the WeekSave / Auto SaveBy default, VS Code requires an explicit action to save your changes to disk, Ctrl+S.However, it's easy to turn on Auto Save, which will save your changes after a configured delay or when focus leaves the editor. With this option turned on, there is no need to explicitly save the file. The easiest way to turn on Auto Save is with the File > Auto Save toggle that turns on and off save after a delay.https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/codebasics#_save-auto-save Thank you to all of our Patreon SupportersNew Supporter: Dean MaunderNew Top Supporter: John Wilson - SynaptrixThese individuals are personally supporting our open source initiatives to ensure the great toolings like CommandBox, ForgeBox, ColdBox,  ContentBox, TestBox and all the other boxes keep getting the continuous development they need, and funds the cloud infrastructure at our community relies on like ForgeBox for our Package Management with CommandBox.

I started using the AntiSamy project back in ColdFusion 10, and hadn't realized that it was now a native part of the ColdFusion runtime. This inspired me to go back and re-read my old post wherein I remembered that Matthew Clemente mentioned yet another OWASP project of relevance called the Java HTML Sanitizer. To keep things exciting, I decided to play around a bit with this Java HTML Sanitizer project in Lucee CFML 5.3.7.48.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4071-using-the-owasp-java-html-sanitizer-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-7-48-to-sanitize-html-input-and-prevent-xss-attacks.htmBlog - Adam Cameron -  CFML: tag-based versions of some script-based codeAs I mentioned yesterday ("CFML: tag-based versions of some script-based code") I've been asked by a couple of people to show the tag-based version of the script-based CFML code. This has ben particularly in reference to my typical approach of using higher-order functions to perform data transformation operations on iterable objects (eg: arrays, structs, lists, etc). Here I will briefly do that for some examples of using mapping functions.

Support for the Azul Zulu JDKs will be provided by Adobe to our CF customers.On July 21st, ColdFusion installers for ColdFusion (2018 release) and ColdFusion (2021 release) with the Azul JDKs will be available for download from https://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/downloads.html.In the interim, we’ve set up a pre-release, where ColdFusion customers can try out the Azul based installers.https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2021/06/support-azul-jdk/ Into the Box 2021 will be an Live In Person ConferenceAfter much deliberation, and lots of survey responses, we have decided to host this years Into the Box, live in person in Houston Texas in September.Call for speakers will be sent out this week, giving you 2 weeks to get your submissions in. There will be no workshops this year, just 2 days full of great CFML content.Server troubles - Hibernate missing from LuceeFor one of our clients, we started to get some strange errors. We finally tracked it down to Hibernate not being installed in Lucee. The fix was to add the Extension ID to our CommandBox args to ensure it was installed. We’re looking into it, but if you get some weird TreeWalker error, it might be the same thing.UPDATE: Looked like the extension was installed, but the lucee-server.xml was missing the extension, so it must have not completely finished the install process and that caused the issue. Online CF Meetup - CF Modernization Challenges - Improving Legacy Code, with David ByersThursday, June 17, 202111:00 AM to 12:00 PM CDTEvery ColdFusion developer is a builder and an artist. We want to create and craft beautiful, elegant solutions with CFML that are powerful and dynamic… but sometimes, we still need to deal with the legacy code that was built a decade ago by a developer who has long since left the organization and didn’t know what they were doing to begin with. Or, maybe the company direction has shifted (again) and what was a priority in the past is no longer relevant. Maybe the approach you originally took to a problem can be done cleaner, and more efficiently. Maybe there’s new functionality in ColdFusion that renders old approaches obsolete. At some point, modernization of your approach becomes necessary to retain your sanity!In this group therapy session, I will discuss legacy code, why it’s difficult to manage, how to take incremental approaches to improving it and some techniques on how to modernize your development approach.https://www.meetup.com/coldfusionmeetup/events/278773692/ Ortus Webinar for June - Eric Peterson - Topic - Build a Blog in 30 minutes with QuickWednesday, June 30th at 11:00 AM CTIn this webinar, Eric will: give us an overview of ColdBox and Quick, give us reasons why we would use this library, he'll show us an example app to explore how it works and we'll have tons of live coding!Webinars Page: https://www.ortussolutions.com/events/webinars Registration: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIsd-2qrzMiG9DIROF-hQGy8Qj2TUkGHGth ICYMI - CommandBox Docker v3.4.0 Images ReleasedToday we are pleased to announce the release of version 3.4.0 of our CommandBox Docker images, which bumps the CommandBox binary version to v5.3.1.

The only difference: they all have their own database where their data was stored. https://shiftinsert.nl/dynamic-datasources-part-1-qb/ Blog - Wil De Bruin - Dynamic datasources part 2: quickUsing dynamic datasources in a cfml ORM system can be hard. I am working on some project full of cform, and as mentioned in my post on dynamic datasources in qb I have a project with a lot of legacy code, full of cfquery, queryExecute, some qb queries and… tons of cform entities. And for all this code I should be able to change my datasource on the fly, based on URL or the authenticated user. I already had all solutions in place for qb and queryExecute, but cform is a showstopper. https://shiftinsert.nl/dynamic-datasources-part-2-quick/ Blog - Ben Nadel - Adobe ColdFusion 2018 Compatible Version Of My ColdFusion Custom Tag DSL For HTML EmailsOver the past couple of months, I've been working on a ColdFusion custom tag DSL (Domain Specific Language) for HTML emails. It's been a thrilling adventure; and, it's been tremendously satisfying to see this approach being applied for great good at InVision. That said, InVision runs on Lucee CFML and my personal blog (this blog) runs on Adobe ColdFusion 2018. And, unfortunately, there's enough incompatibility between the two runtimes such that I can't easily use the same code. As such, I've created a new repository for an Adobe ColdFusion compatible version.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4064-adobe-coldfusion-2018-compatible-version-of-my-coldfusion-custom-tag-dsl-for-html-emails.htm Blog - Ben Nadel - Using The LaunchDarkly REST API To Update Rule Configuration In Lucee CFML 5.3.7.47I am not bashful about the fact that I love using LaunchDarkly for our feature flags at InVision. But, the vast majority of my experience revolves around their Java SDK which implements the rules engine consumer and the server-sent event streaming. I actually have very little experience with the LaunchDarkly REST API, which allows you to programmatically update the rules engine without using the LaunchDarkly dashboard. At work, I need to build a simple toggle for our Customer Facing Team (CFT) that will allow them to add or remove an enterprise subdomain from a targeting rule within a given feature flag. As such, I needed to figure out how to update rule configurations using the LaunchDarkly REST API in Lucee CFML 5.3.7.47.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4063-using-the-launchdarkly-rest-api-to-update-rule-configuration-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-7-47.htm Blog - Adam Cameron - Using TDD when adding new code to existing untestable codeJust a note before I start. This article is based on a real-world situation for a company I used to work at. Because I'm basing this on proprietary information, I am not prepared (or permitted!) to share that. As such I have obfuscated some elements of the narrative, and have changed sample code around to be less specific to the industry concerned. The code is still line-for-line equivalent to the original code though with just names being changed. Nothing has been enhanced or simplified to make it artificially easier to solve the problem we really did face.https://blog.adamcameron.me/2021/06/using-tdd-when-adding-new-code-to.html Blog - Adam Cameron - CFML: messing around with mixins (part 2)In the previous article - CFML: messing around with mixins (part 1) - I had a look at some code to implement both compile-time and runtime mixins into target objects. Basically one takes a library object (a CFC just full of functions, no statefulness or anything), and stick references to them into a target object so that object can call those methods as if they were its own native method. It was all very proof-of-concept, and I would never recommend anyone actually using the code I wrote, and indeed would never recommend using mixins at all. They just seem like a hack to me: an anti-pattern and poor design.https://blog.adamcameron.me/2021/06/cfml-messing-around-with-mixins-part-2.htmlBlog - Adam Cameron - CFML: messing around with mixins (part 3)In the preceding two articles in this series (1 and 2) I looked at how to implement mixins in CFML, both at compile time and at runtime, with an increasing amount of functionality / complexity. My closing conclusion was that the runtime approach I was taking was a wee bit too magic and opaque to be something one should do; but at least it's interesting to look at the issues & techniques involved. Today I'm going to try to come up with a less opaque solution.https://blog.adamcameron.me/2021/06/cfml-messing-around-with-mixins-part-3.html Blog - Mark Bockenstedt - Setting a Column to Null With queryNew in ColdFusionI've been on a bit of a refactoring & testing kick lately thanks to a few recent episodes of the Working Code podcast (specifically episodes 22 & 23). I recently set out to refactor a common function in the CMS platform we have built at work and realized that I need to mock a query that I can use in my test suites. We're using TestBox, so I have MockBox available, but querySim doesn't handle making a column null. So, what's a guy to do? Go to Slack and ask, naturally!https://www.bockensm.com/2021/06/09/coldfusion-querynew-null-values/ Blog - Charlie Arehart - Properly handled quoted yes/no with serializeJSON in CF2021 and CF2018, solvable in CF2016 Did you know that CF2021 and CF2018 now “properly” handle serializing to json strings with the quoted values of “yes” and “no”, leaving them as strings rather than converting them to booleans true and false?And did you know that if you are on CF2016 (which does convert them), you can solve that with just a couple of lines of code? And that same solution can be used if you are on CF2018 or above and do WANT a string like “yes” to be converted to a boolean (in a serializejson). Perhaps more important, that same code (and even an application-level variant) can help with other matters with JSON serialization datatypes.https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2021/06/properly-handled-booleans-with-serializejson/ CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 140 ColdFusion positions from 64 companies across 98 locations in 5 Countries since Dec 1st.6 new jobs listed this weekFull-Time - Ortus Solutions - Senior Software Developer at Remote - United States Posted Jun 14https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/SrDev-ColdFusion-at-Remote-US/11287 Full-Time - Senior ColdFusion Developer 1513 at Toronto, ON - Canada Posted Jun 12https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/canada/Senior-ColdFusion-Developer-1513-at-Toronto-ON/11286 Full-Time - Senior ColdFusion Web Developer at East Norriton, PA - United States Posted Jun 11https://www.getcfmljobs.com/viewjob.cfm?jobid=11285Full-Time - Coldfusion Developer at Toronto, ON - Canada Posted Jun 10https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/canada/Coldfusion-Developer-at-Toronto-ON/11284 Full-Time - ColdFusion Developer at Fort Washington, PA - United States Posted Jun 09https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/ColdFusion-Developer-at-Fort-Washington-PA/11282 Full-Time - ColdFusion Developer at Creve Coeur, MO - United States Posted Jun 09https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/ColdFusion-Developer-at-Creve-Coeur-MO/11283 Ortus Jobs - https://www.ortussolutions.com/about-us/careers- Senior ColdFusion CFML Developer (USA TEAM)- Desarollador Web (EL SALVADOR TEAM)ForgeBox Module of the WeekMementifier : The State Maker!This module will transform your business objects into native ColdFusion (CFML) data structures with ? speed. It will inject itself into ORM objects and/or business objects alike and give them a nice getMemento() function to transform their properties and relationships (state) into a consumable structure or array of structures. It can even detect ORM entities and you don't even have to write the default includes manually, it will auto-detect all properties. No more building transformations by hand! No more inconsistencies! No more repeating yourself!Memento pattern is used to restore state of an object to a previous state or to produce the state of the object.Works great with Quick ORM too.https://www.forgebox.io/view/mementifier VS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the WeekRemote Repositories by Github (preview)The Remote Repositories extension lets you quickly browse, search, edit, and commit to any remote GitHub repository directly from within Visual Studio Code, with support for Azure repos coming soon.Why do you need Remote Repositories?As developers, we often clone Git repos locally just to browse them or make small edits. We may want to look at the source code of a library we use, experiment with new tools, or just feel the desire to learn something new.However, cloning repos takes time and maintenance, as your local copy can quickly become out of date if you don't pull changes regularly. Plus, if you don't know the codebase you're cloning, there may be security risks involved too!The Remote Repositories extension in VS Code gives you a fast, convenient, and safe way to open, browse, and edit repos quickly.https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=github.remotehub  Thank you to all of our Patreon SupportersThese individuals are personally supporting our open source initiatives to ensure the great toolings like CommandBox, ForgeBox, ColdBox,  ContentBox, TestBox and all the other boxes keep getting the continuous development they need, and funds the cloud infrastructure at our community relies on like ForgeBox for our Package Management with CommandBox.
