And so I have been working with Mach-ii, ColdSpring and Reactor for more than 2 months now, I think a follow up for my previous post is now due.

Due the possibility of a contract work on a project that uses Mach-ii, Reactor and ColdSpring combo next year – I have dedicated some portion of my holiday time to get my hands dirty on these frameworks. It has been around 10 days building a simple application with the frameworks and below is my [...]

Earlier this week (Monday), at the Adobe Platform Users Group Sydney we were having a 20×20 Pecha Kucha nite. Basically in a Pecha Kucha meeting, there will be few people presenting – in their presentations they are limited to 20 slides, on each slides they can spend at maximum 20 seconds, so for each presentations [...]

I managed to do a short jogging along Yarra River in the morning – it was very lovely.
These are the summary of the sessions that I went to on day 2 as well as my personal reflection.

Well, this is my 3rd time attending a development conference and I had a great time there. I am glad that now there is a ColdFusion specific conference in Australia (in addition to WebDU – which also has a dedicated ColdFusion stream) – thank you for the committee to bring it here down under, you [...]

Well I thought this was going to be an easy process, but it turned out to be little bit trickier than I thought.

The end goal for me in this case, is to get Apache / Tomcat / Railo to serve up http://personal.ecommerce2
Note, this post is really based [...]

Installing Railo with Apache / Resin on Windows is really easy to do, I have done that before and pretty happy with the setup. So why do I bother going back to square one with getting Railo on Apache / Tomcat instead? Well the reason is really simple, my hosting environment at Viviotech is set [...]

Just a little note for myself as I am trying to get the workflow going on setting up new site in Railo.
In here I am using the application server Resin that comes with Railo – I would like to change this to Tomcat one day to mimic the my hosted environment at Viviotech.

Couple of weeks ago, I was stumped by this cryptic ColdFusion error:
The system has attempted to use an undefined value, which usually indicates a programming error, either in your code or some system code. Null pointers are another name for undefined values.

The piece of code was always working up until that point, I narrowed down [...]
