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.
Apparently there are a couple of ways to get ColdBox SES (Search Engine ) URL to work.

The objective of this excercise is to get Apache and Tomcat connected, we want Apache the default web server that serves the port 80 to forward requests to Tomcat – Railo.
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 [...]

My production manager has been trying so hard to think of ways to improve our code maintainability – rightly, he has considered Object Oriented Programming (OOP) as a possible solution to the problem.
Some of us in the team are really supportive to this. He’s quite excited as for the first time in few years he [...]
