Most CF MVC Frameworks use the front controller pattern. Usually Search Engine Safe (SES) plugin together with URL Rewrite are used to construct friendly URLs. However, when it comes to implementing RESTful services, using a MVC framework seems like a layer of complexity added on top of another layer of complexity. How should one tame...

Hi We've noticed something odd with our Coldfusion 8 client variables DB. We have many more (about 3 times as many) CGlobal entries as we have CData entries. I would have assumed that the relationship would be 1:1 on the cfid column. Has any one else noticed this before? I have ruled out old data, my sample is less than 3 hours old. W...
I have been reading a lot about how flash development/design had died, and as jQuery and in the near future html5 comes out, will this start to push Adobe/Coldfusion away from flash towards less product linking? I mean, I love coldfusion, and want that to continue to grow, however, if Adobe only bought Coldfusion from Macromedia, so the...

The class works fine with CF 8, but it's throwing an error in CF 9. The error is: com.sun.mail.handlers.text_plain cannot be cast to javax.activation.DataContentHandler The error is happe...
So I've got this odd issue that I'm trying to narrow down... My application is a ColdFusion back-end with a HTML, CSS and Flex front-end. The Flex application loads in appVars.cfm as "cfoutput" XML, uses those variables to then populate the correct company and user libraries and naturally load those xmlVideo.cfm, xmlImages.cfm, xmlText....

Essentially what's happening, is that since both share the same username, the first one...

The typical controls against SQL injection flaws are to use bind variables (cfqueryparam tag), validation of string data and to turn to stored procedures for the actual SQL layer. This is all fine and I agree, however what if the site is a legacy one and it features a lot of dynamic queries. Then, rewriting all the queries is a herculean...

They enter data into a "Details Section" which is a collection of form items (textbox, selectbox, etc) bound to the grid. I have actionscript which changes the values in the grid based on user entries. The actionscript works properly beca...

Setting a value in the application scope (e.g. ap...
