We are excited to announce that we will soon open up the pre-release for the next major version of ColdFusion. To express interest in this pre-release, please fill up this survey   The next version of ColdFusion is a game changing release for ColdFusion with significant focus on modernization of the platform, cloud integration and support for microservice architectures.   Here is the vision statement for ColdFusion next: “To be the modernized platform of choice for building cloud-native microservice applications with absolute focus on ease of use without getting locked to a particular cloud vendor (multi-cloud).”   While the vision statement may look too broad now, you will get a good sense of how all these pieces fit in once you join the pre-release and hear from Adobe.   For more information about what’s coming up, you may also look the slide deck from the presentation at CFSummit 2019 at Las Vegas.   Sign up here for the pre-release!

I've seen variations of this post through the years, but I wondering if anything has changed. I still use Dreamweaver CS5 because I can quickly right-click any tag, enter the options I need for that tag, and continue text editing. I've tired later versions of Dreamweaver, Notepad +, Sublime text, Coldfusion Builder stand alone and eclipse. I literally just want to right click and get my tag options otherwise, it's just a text editor. I tried forcing myself to use other editors just to get used to it, but it just slows me down the second I need to edit tag options. word counter  VidMate [URL removed by Moderator] Thanks in advance for any responses.  

I was positive i'd posted this yesterday, but i didn't see it on my profile page.  So here it is again, possibly with different details. Coldfusion 11 (server config, dev profile)RedHat 7.7Appache httpd (yum installed and updated, RedHat 7 uses systemctl to run services like httpd) We couldn't restore our dev CF server from backup when it went down so i had to re-create it. I am a passable unix admin but i have never administered CF on Unix before.  These issues may could be related to ANYTHING and be addressed in the forums somewhere somewhere but when i searched on my issue keywords the descriptions didn't seem to fit.  And sadly the person who built it originally has left. Order of installRedHat -> Apache -> CF before installing CF I am able to browse to the html on the apache web site During install i attempted to connect the connector to httpd using the systemctl httpd control file and when that had the same problem i'm describing i re

Looking for ideas on how to place an outbound telephone call from ColdFusion. We have a goal of being able to place a call when certain urgent conditions are met, and deliver a synthesized or prerecorded message. Thinking this has to have been done before. (We are not robocalling - I promise!) Email, SMS, XMPP etc. are not appropriate. Thanks,

I am trying to generate a pdf using cfhtmltopdf with a QR code in it. My code displays the QR code without the cfhtmltopdf tag however when I add the tag the page is blank. I am using the jquery from https://www.jqueryscript.net/other/Canvas-Table-QR-Code-Generator.html to create the QR code.  I have tried copying all the actual scripts into the tag instead of links and that didn't help. Looking for a solution - I'm open to a different method of generating the QR code if that works.  Thanks in advance... <cfhtmltopdf> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.slim.min.js" integrity="sha384-q8i/X+965DzO0rT7abK41JStQIAqVgRVzpbzo5smXKp4YfRvH+8abtTE1Pi6jizo" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="../src/jquery.qrcode.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="../src/qrcode.js"></script> <div id="qrcodeCanvas"></div> <script> $('#qrcodeCanvas').qrco

I presume from the recent update of ColdFusion 2016 (Update 12) that JDK 12 is the highest version I can go to. The problem is that when I search on Oracle it's saying 12 is no longer supported and to go to 13 Does anyboy have a link to 12? The Oracle download page goes from 13 down to 11, no 12 showinghttps://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html Has anybody tried 13?  

I continue to receive an Empty String error while trying to update a date type field (SQL Server).I'm using the NULL attribute, but that doesn't change anything when I pass an empty date field in my form. Any ideas how to handle this?SET [eyeExamDate] = <cfqueryparam value= "#createdate(year(formdata.examMonth), month(formdata.examMonth), 01)#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_date" null="Yes" />The function works fine with a date, but with none I have no luck.I've tried using a cfparam in case there is no date passed, but that doesn't work. 

I want to retrieve  data that is store in a database.  I will use the #evaluate(string)# function to execute the coldfusion code in the data that is returned.  It works fine for simple variable but hangs up when I try to execute a stored query.  Any ideas?example:Database: Table: Cell: "<cfquery datasource="#session.dsn#" name="getcust">select * from customer where cust_id = #url.cust_id#</cfquery>" I query the database for that cell and it will not evaluate the query.  Is this possible?

TSIA.  I have a Solr Collection of questions asked by users (our own internal AUA).  Every time a user submits a question, the question is inserted into a database and the Solr Collection reindexed. Just on the small chance that two users submit a question at about the same time, I don't want the second question to trigger a reindex until after the first question reindex is completed.  So is it possible to lock a Solr Collection each time it is automatically reindexed? V/r, ^ _ ^

What is the best to create minified JS and CSS files?  I've done in the past using an IDE and automatically durring the "File Save" process.  However, now Im working with a team where everyone uses a different IDE. My preference is to create some sort of asset manager that uses yuicompressor (https://github.com/yui/yuicompressor) that creates minified files on the fly if they currently are not found on the server. I'd like to call the yuicompressor jar file directly with Coldfusion withouth using cfexecute.  Is this possible?

Hello,  I see that there are two places to post ColdFusion questions on Adobe sites: right here at community.adobe.com and over at  https://coldfusion.adobe.com, so long as you characterize your post as a question. This support community site seems like the logical place to get questions answered by the community, and so when you post a question over at https://coldfusion.adobe.com/ site, to whom are these questions posted? Adobe's ColdFusion employees? Perhaps links on each of these pages to each other should be established so that community members are aware of and leverage both options. Thanks.

I am trying to get the jre-8u231-windows-x64.exe file to update the Java 1.8.0_u221 on my CF servers but I am not seeing it anywhere on this page. Anyone thoughts?  https://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/downloads.html#additionalThirdPartyInstallers

On Adobe's Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Adobe ColdFusion Standard (2018 release) webpage under Pricing, editions, and upgrading (https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/standard/faq.html#Pricingeditionsandupgrading) it says that Adobe ColdFusion (2018 release) Standard Edition costs US$2,499 per two CPUs. If the computer I am installing Adobe ColdFusion Standard (2018 release) has a single physical CPU and multiple cores for example an 8-Core Intel CPU, will a single Adobe ColdFusion Standard (2018 release) license work on my computer or is it required that I must purchase 4+ Adobe ColdFusion Standard (2018 release) licenses (4+ times US$2,499)? Does hyperthreading CPU double the core count?

I'm working on creating a data conversion extract and need to split a string into multiple lines, 132 chars each.  At this time, they don't want to break at the last space before the 132 chars, they just want to continue it on the next line.  I'm fairly new to coldfusion and am not sure how to do this.  Suggestions, please?Thank you. -=Rob=-

Nothing besides the fact that it fails makes it into the Windows System or App logs.I loaded the Sysinternals Process Monitor tool and watched the execution of the jetty.exe and the folder structure and there are no Access Denied events.Failed to load under CF2016 gold, Update 1, and Update 2Shutdown CF9 & CF11 to make sure it wasn't a port violationLoading it via the command lin

We have a CF2018 Standard server currently running 3 scheduled tasks.  Each task sends an email.  I noticed that, when recently adding the third task, which is scheduled to run first (2:10AM), after a scheduled restart of the CF App Server Service (9PM), it would run, but not send an email.  I decided to bracket this task with two other ones, 1 minute before and 1 minute after, which would send test emails.  With those two tasks in place, the 2:09AM task would run, but not send an email, the 2:10 task would run and would now send an email, and the 2:11 task would also run and send an email.  I disabled the CF App Server Service restart, and now all tasks send an email.  This leads me to think that, after a CF App Server Service restart, the first task to run that sends an email will not, in fact, send and email. Has anyone seen this behavior in CF before? TIA,Scott A clarification - It's not that the email does not send.  It's that the

How can Power BI be integrated into a coldfusion application?

Judging by the lack of participation in this forum, I'm guessing coldfusion really is dead....Adobe doesn't seem to care a whole lot about it either judging by the number of unanswered posts!

I'm totally cross posting this....  sorry to be rude, just not getting any action in the advanced forum.Can anyone make this work?I'm trying to connect to/consume a webservice from a Magento commerce store [written in php] but am having problems with coldfusion not being able to "find" the methods I need to invoke.- I can create the object, log in, get a session but nothing [NOTHING!] else, none of the other methods are available - I just get a method not found error.- the user "register" with key "register" has permission to use them and I can [have] prove that it works, I can for example call up  the store category tree VIAcatalogCategoryTree.- the dump of the mage_obj shows all the methods available.- The webservice is a Magento store [http://www.magentocommerce.com/]- The API documentation is here http://www.magentocommerce.com/support/magento_core_api- the webservice url is live, up and a test instance, so I am not afraid of it getting broken, please test to your heart's

Can we say that number of threads created in an application should be equal to number of cores of a Processor. Say, I should create maximum two threads if I have a dual core machine or four threads if I have a quad-core machine etc.??.

Hello, all, I've got a function in a CFC that has been working fine since late 2015.  Recently, we are seeing several error emails related to this function. Message Could not initialize class org.openxmlformats.schemas.drawingml.x2006.spreadsheetDrawing.CTMarker StackTrace java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.openxmlformats.schemas.drawingml.x2006.spreadsheetDrawing.CTMarker   It indicates that the issue is on line 1030 of the CFC: SpreadsheetAddImage(variables.ercCEobj,imgBytes,'png','1,7,2,8');  Okay, so obviously "variables.ercCEobj" is an Excel object, and I'm adding a .png image to one of the cells in the main sheet.  Like stated, this has been working fine since late 2015.  I've checked and the image is, indeed, where it should be. I just learned that we recently updated the Java (jvk 221 to 231).  Wonder if that's the issue?  Anyone else experience this? V/r, ^ _ ^
