News and AnnouncementsWhitehouse Mandate - Press Release: Future Software Should Be Memory SafeLeaders in Industry Support White House Call to Address Root Cause of Many of the Worst Cyber AttacksToday, the White House Office of the National Cyber Director (ONCD) released a report calling on the technical community to proactively reduce the attack surface in cyberspace. ONCD makes the case that technology manufacturers can prevent entire classes of vulnerabilities from entering the digital ecosystem by adopting memory safe programming languages. ONCD is also encouraging the research community to address the problem of software measurability to enable the development of better diagnostics that measure cybersecurity quality.Full Report:  https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Final-ONCD-Technical-Report.pdf Blog Post: https://www.whitehouse.gov/oncd/briefing-room/2024/02/26/press-release-technical-report/ Three Recent Lucee VulnerabilitiesLast week, Harsh Jaiswal and Rahul Maini from ProjectDiscovery released some impressive security research on multiple vulnerabilities in Lucee (and Mura CMS and Masa CMS).  Their blog post is a must-read, and I'm not going to rehash their steps from research to discovery to exploitation.  Instead, I'm going to look at these vulnerabilities through a defensive lens.  https://www.hoyahaxa.com/2024/02/thinking-defensively-about-three-recent.html One Reason Why Your ColdFusion Server May Still Be Vulnerable Even With the Latest Security Updates InstalledNext Tuesday is Adobe Patch Tuesday.  Will there be new ColdFusion security updates?  I have no idea.  But even if there are no new patches released, and your ColdFusion servers already have the latest updates installed, you may still be missing an important step in keeping them secure.https://www.hoyahaxa.com/2024/03/one-reason-why-your-coldfusion-server.html ICYMI : CF Summit East Announced Adobe and Carahsoft would like to officially invite you to our interactive Adobe ColdFusion Summit East 2024.

It was introduced in CF2021, and while some are aware that it can help manage the new modular packages-based design of ColdFusion, many are unaware of the many features of this cfpm tool--and how this package management mechanism can be used to their advantage.In this talk, veteran CF troubleshooter Charlie Arehart will introduce the feature (CF's package-based design and the package manager), including identifying the way it can manage the packages used in a current CF instance as well as in automating creation of new instances. Perhaps most useful, we'll see how the tool offers a mechanism to SCAN your CFML code base to identify what packages you would need. We'll also see how the tool can help with updating CF, as well as managing the update download "repo". And speaking of updates, we'll discuss ways the cfpm/package mechanism has evolved in updates since the release of CF2021 and in CF2023.Meetup:https://www.meetup.com/coldfusionmeetup/events/298727912/ Recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYTW7adg_Ao&list=PLG2EHzEbhy0-QirMKgSxhjkUyTSSTvHjL&index=1&pp=iAQB CF Hawaii - ColdBox Modules - Jon Clausen Feb 23rd - 12pm Hawaii Timehttps://cfml.slack.com/archives/C06TSRXCJ/p1706309775867449?thread_ts=1706236924.005739&cid=C06TSRXCJRecent ReleasesInto the Box 2023 Videos are now available for all Paid Subscriptions https://cfcasts.com/series/itb-2023 Coming Soon - After the break from HolidaysMastering CBWIRE v3 from GrantConferences and TrainingAdobe ColdFusion Online Summit 2024Unleash the powe...

For me, feature flags are as transformational as databases—they are as important as both logs and metrics. I cannot imagine creating another product without them.I believe that I have a perspective worth sharing. I want to help people see the magic that I see. I want to help teams deliver value to their customers with love and empathy and without fear.https://featureflagsbook.com/ New Releases and UpdatesColdBox Debugger v4.2 - Unleashing a Wave of Debugging Power!In the ever-evolving landscape of web development, staying ahead requires cutting-edge tools.

First, be aware that besides the traditional full installer there's the new "zip" install option (added in CF2021).

My initial foray into the world of static site generators began with commandbox-jasper. This project laid the foundation for my current static site generator, aptly named commandbox-ssg. commandbox-ssg not only inherits a substantial portion of its codebase from Jasper, but it also boasts several refinements and a more descriptive name that better captures its functionality. The name Jasper, while a sentimental nod to my dog, didn't quite convey the tool's purpose.The transition of my development environment from MacOS to Windows, however, presented some unexpected challenges. It became apparent that my assumptions regarding file paths, which worked seamlessly on MacOS, were not compatible w...

GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more, makes it easier to evolve APIs over time, and enables powerful developer tools.GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for executing those queries with your existing data. It provides a more efficient, powerful, and flexible alternative to REST.In ColdFusion 2023 we are providing a native method of consuming and sending data across GraphQL using GQL. This includes support for fragments, variables, aliases, queries, mutations, subscriptions and more.Also, this talk will go over on why to use Graph QL over REST APIs.https://www.meetup.com/hawaii-coldfusion-meetup-group/events/294631289/Adobe Upcoming EventsWebinar - Road to Fortuna Series: Exploring the New Google Cloud Platform Features FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 202310:00 AM PDTOnline EventMark Takatahttps://google-cloud-platform-adobe-coldfusion.meetus.adobeevents.com/ During the Road to Fortuna Series: Exploring the New Google Cloud Platform Features webinar, Mark Takata will explore the new native hooks that Adobe ColdFusion is adding to work with the Google Cloud Platform.

News and AnnouncementsPassing the Baton: Lucee 5.4 and Hibernate ORMAs of Lucee 5.4.1.8, new Lucee builds will no longer bundle the (Lucee) Hibernate extension. This means that if you rely on Hibernate ORM in your CFML application, you will need to manually bundle the Hibernate extension into your Lucee server. Let's read on for more info.The NewsFirst, let's start with the official note from the Lucee 5.4.1.8 Stable Release notes (courtesy of Zac Spitzer):Lucee ORM is no longer being developed or bundled by the Lucee Team, Ortus have forked and taken over the development of ORM for Lucee, see Introducing: The Ortus ORM Extension.It seems that Lucee has made the decision to 1) trim the Lucee installation size by no longer bundling the Hibernate extension with new Lucee installations, and to 2) halt further development on the Lucee Hibernate extension. It is unclear whether "no longer being developed" is referring to new features only, or whether that includes bug fixes and security patches as well.This news means that Micha and the LAS team can focus on the Lucee server platform, bringing you speed and stability, while Ortus provides the Hibernate integration for a powerful database ORM layer.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/passing-the-baton-lucee-6-and-hibernate-ormNew Releases and UpdatesColdBox v7.1.0ColdBox 7.1 introduces several new features that expand the capabilities of the framework and facilitate better development practices:Scheduled Tasks DebuggingYou can now add a debug argument to your task definitions, and your console will add tons of debugging for your tasks:`task( name : "My Task", debug : true )`toRedirectTo() MatcherYou can now use this matcher to test relocations in a nice fluent expectation:`expect( event ).toRedirectTo( "main.index" )`REST on{errorType}Exception() ConventionThanks to our very own Gavin Pickin you can now create exception handlers in your REST Handlers that follow the on{type}Exception() convention and you can listen to specific error type exceptions:`function onTypeMismatchException( event, rc, prc )`https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/coldbox-710-releasedTestBox v5.2.0 and v5.3.0v5.2.0New FeaturesFaster Performance with Updated MixerUtilTESTBOX-375Introduces enhancements to the MixerUtil module, resulting in faster performance during dynamic mixins and enhancing the flexibility of your test suites.More Control with bundlesPattern in TestBox InitTESTBOX-376Adds the bundlesPattern parameter to testbox.system.TestBox's init method. This new addition gives you greater control over defining the pattern for your test bundles, making test organization a breeze.Introducing TestBox ModulesTESTBOX-377Brings a game-changing feature to TestBox - Modules support! Now you can create and utilize modules to extend TestBox's capabilities, opening up endless possibilities for tailored testing workflows. Check out our docs: https://testbox.ortusbooks.com/in-depth/modulesBug FixesQuery Compatibility in ExpectationTESTBOX-346Addresses an issue where using expect(sut).toBeInstanceOf("something")) with a query could cause unexpected behavior. This has been resolved, ensuring a smoother testing experience with query objects.Improved cbstreams FunctionalityTESTBOX-374Fixes issues related to cbstreams outside of ColdBox, ensuring seamless functionality in various environments.ImprovementsEnhanced toBeInstanceOf() HandlingTESTBOX-20Improves the handling of toBeInstanceOf() expectations for Java classes, making it even easier to write precise and robust tests for Java objects.v5.3.0New FeaturestoBeIn() and toBeInWithCase() ExpectationsTESTBOX-379These new expectations allow you to verify the presence of a needle within a string or an array target. With the toBeIn() expectation, you can easily check if the expected needle exists in the target. Additionally, toBeInWithCase() performs a case-sensitive check for the needle in the target. These powerful expectations enhance your testing capabilities and streamline the validation of data within your tests.New Matchers and Assertions for String StartTESTBOX-380With these new matchers and assertions, namely toStartWith(), toStartWithCase(), startsWith(), and startsWithCase(), you can validate whether a string begins with an expected prefix. These matchers come with their appropriate negations, allowing you to easily test and verify the starting points of strings in your application.New Matchers and Assertions for String EndTESTBOX-381TestBox v5.3 introduces powerful matchers for checking the end of strings. The new matchers include toEndWith(), toEndWithCase(), endsWith(), and endsWithCase(). These matchers enable you to confirm the presence of an expected suffix in a given string, making it convenient to test the endings of strings during your test suite executions.Bug FixesonSpecError suiteSpecs CorrectionTESTBOX-378In previous versions, there was a minor issue with onSpecError, where the suiteSpecs attribute was mistakenly referred to as suiteStats. With TestBox v5.3, we have fixed this bug, and the attribute is now correctly recognized as suiteSpecs. This ensures that error reporting and handling in your test suites function as expected, providing you with accurate and helpful feedback during testing.

This release focusses on bug fixes and making Lucee more secure by default, the big change here is that XML XXE mitigations are now on by default. This release also solves a native QoQ bug. https://dev.lucee.org/t/lucee-stable-release-5-4-2-17/12828 Lucee 5.4.1.8 Stable Release notes: https://dev.lucee.org/t/lucee-5-4-1-8-stable-release/12778 Lucee ZERO, a lighter Lucee Light (Lamba Friendly) Lucee Zero is a new smaller Lucee distribution without the admin or docs bundled.This reduces the jar size by about 2mb and avoids expanding them on install, which makes Lucee initial startup a lot faster, as there is less to deploy.Why an additional distribution?Firstly backwards compat with existing build pipelines, as you can’t build a full install by adding just extensions, the admin simply isn’t there with Lucee Zero.Secondly Lambas have some size limitations, you only have 50MB, when Lucee deploys, the .lco is extracted into lucee-server/patches and then the lucee-admin.lar and lucee-doc.lar are exracted out into lucee-server/context/context, plus inside the original lucee-zero.jar.So this new distribution saves roughly 6MB of disk space, as there ends up being three copies of these two .lar archives on the filesystem once deployed.When I run the local build for extensions, it’s about 6-7s faster (Lucee does deploy slower on windows than linux, so YMMV)https://dev.lucee.org/t/lucee-zero-a-lighter-lucee-light-lamba-friendly/12749 Webinar / Meetups and WorkshopsICYMI - Hawaii ColdFusion Meetup Group - Intro to ColdFusion 2023June 23rd, 2023Adobe ColdFusion 2023 is released today!

In this talk, veteran CF troubleshooter Charlie Arehart will address all these and more, starting with a focus on tools and techniques for solving common problems with them, then showing several ways to create them (yes, even more than just cfschedule and the CF Admin UI).He'll then review several features of using tasks that you may have missed—to include distinguishing which few are NOT available in CF Standard.He'll also discuss briefly the underlying quartz open source framework that powers them (and offers still more extensibility), as well as the underlying neo-cron.xml file and tips for protecting that, and he'll even identify ways to control/allow access to managing tasks that may surprise many. He'll conclude with alternatives when the base features don't suit you.https://www.meetup.com/hawaii-coldfusion-meetup-group/events/294711603 Adobe Upcoming EventsWebinar- Road to Fortuna Series: New Administrator Features in Adobe ColdFusion 2023 WEDNESDAY, JULY 26, 202310:00 AM PDTOnline Eventhttps://administrator-features-adobe-coldfusion.meetus.adobeevents.com/ Adobe ColdFusion Workshop WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9, 20239:00 AM EDTOnline Eventhttps://adobecf-1day-workshop.meetus.adobeevents.com/ Webinar - Road to Fortuna Series: Exploring the New Google Cloud Platform Features FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 202310:00 AM PDTOnline Eventhttps://google-cloud-platform-adobe-coldfusion.meetus.adobeevents.com/ CFCasts Content Updates...

But did you know there are in fact several ways to deploy CF (or Lucee), including ways to run CFML without even needing to do that? In this session, veteran CF consultant Charlie Arehart will identify these, starting first with WHY it's useful to have different ways to be able to deploy CF/Lucee and CFML.Then he will discuss and demonstrate those several ways--whether you prefer to run CF on your own machine or another (whether hosted or in the cloud), to include even being able to run CFML WITHOUT need of CF (or Lucee) to be "installed" at all. He will cover such topics as installers (GUI and console-based), silent installation (and updates), Commandbox, WAR file deployment, container-based (Docker/Kubernetes) deployment, serverless deployment, as well as CLI-based execution of CFML, and execution via cffiddle and trycf, among others.Buckle up, buttercup, for a fast tour of this varied landscape.Meetup: https://www.meetup.com/coldfusionmeetup/events/293987033/ Recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tnd3RQZy0w "OctoPerf: The Load Testing Tool for Modern Web Apps", Guillaume BetailloulouxThursday June 15th at 12pm US Eastern Time, UTC-4:OctoPerf offers an integrated development Interface that you can use from any browser to execute load tests against your application.

There were never first-class settings for it in CommandBox so you would have had to use the runwar.args setting to activate. It also required you to include the MariaDB4j jars yourself in the classpath. (Note this is separate from the MariaDB CommandBox module 4 Jan Janek made).The settings it supported were:enableportbase directorydata directorySQL file to importSo my question is, does anyone use the built in MariaDB4j integration in Runwar? If I removed it, would anyone care? If I put in first-class settings and documented it, would people use it? Does it sound useful? Worthless?https://community.ortussolutions.com/t/mariadb4j-support-in-commandbox-runwar/9666 ICYMI - Adobe ColdFusion 2023 released!!!!We are thrilled to announce the highly anticipated release of Adobe ColdFusion 2023!  Packed with cutting-edge features and enhanced performance, this release takes ColdFusion to new heights of innovation.Experience accelerated development, robust security measures, and seamless integration with modern technologies.

But did you know there are in fact several ways to deploy CF (or Lucee), including ways to run CFML without even needing to do that? In this session, veteran CF consultant Charlie Arehart will identify these, starting first with WHY it's useful to have different ways to be able to deploy CF/Lucee and CFML.Then he will discuss and demonstrate those several ways--whether you prefer to run CF on your own machine or another (whether hosted or in the cloud), to include even being able to run CFML WITHOUT need of CF (or Lucee) to be "installed" at all. He will cover such topics as installers (GUI and console-based), silent installation (and updates), Commandbox, WAR file deployment, container-based (Docker/Kubernetes) deployment, serverless deployment, as well as CLI-based execution of C...

How about that? And in that time I've had 3,645 comments from folks. I do write mostly for you all, so thanks!I also noticed that it marks my 17th year of blogging here, almost to the day with my first entry posted this same week back then, Apr 15 2006. That's "pretty darn interesting", as Ray Camden might say.FWIW, I'd also blogged elsewhere--yes, on CF--prior to starting this one. And the first of those posts were in early 1998--so technically it's my 25th anniversary of blogging about CF. :-)https://www.carehart.org/blog/2023/4/18/celebrating_600_posts_and_17_yearsICYMI - State of the CF Union 2023 ReleasedHelp us find out the state of the CF Union – what versions of CFML Engine do people use, what frameworks, tools etc.https://teratech.com/state-of-the-cf-union-2023-survey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dubo741aTc New Releases and UpdatesWebinar / Meetups and WorkshopsAdobe ColdFusion Workshop: DevOps, CI/CD, and PipelinesWednesday, May 10, 2023Time: 1:00 - 4:30pm ET; 10:00am - 1:30pm PTHost: CarahsoftCost: No FeeMax CPE Credits Available: 4.2 credit hours (1 CPE credit is based on 50 minutes) Field of Study: Information Technology This workshop is ideal for software engineers that are eager to build pipelines to automate their coding projects.
