Harry Klein asked me if I could mention a job offering that his company is looking to find a candidate for. Contens is looking for a Senior Core Developer for their product, as far as I understand this position would be based in Munich, Germany. Another interesting position I’ve stumbled across the other day is […]

CF and web service stub/skeleton classes

by kai 27/01/2007

This one is more of a reminder for myself 😉 I’m always slightly annoyed that ColdFusion caches the web services classes that it creates for later reuse – particularly during development. Doug Boude blogged about how to overcome this via the almighty ServiceFactory (no support, folks) a while ago – I was just pointed to […]

CF Flashforms and Safari

by kai 19/12/2006

I’ve just had an interesting experience with a CF Flashform. I’ve built a Flashform-based survey application for a client and it worked just fine in IE and Firefox on different platforms. After a while the client came back and told us that their target audience (schools) are heavily into using the Safari browser on Mac […]

ColdFusion MX 7 and Apache 2.2.x

by kai 12/12/2006

Usually I’m pretty lazy with running my CF dev installation. I just use CF’s internal HTTP server on port 8300 (as I run the multiserver setup) and put my apps in subfolders of the webroot. I just install a proper HTTP server if really necessary and not to be avoided 😉 For some particular setup […]

Akismet: stop comment spam 101

by kai 01/12/2006

I’ve implemented akismet for Blog in Black the other day, after reading about it in Kay’s blog. Akismet is really amazing – it’s basically a wordpress plugin (implemented as some sort of HTTP-based service), which talks to a huge spamfilter hosted somewhere. The akismet plugin posts all the comment information to this service and gets […]

COM2Java

by kai 01/11/2006

Today I’ve got some issues with bloody COM objects in ColdFusion. I have to say that I was able to avoid dealing with this type of third-party integration most of the time up to now – but in this particular situation for this particular client, there was just no other way. I’ve received an .ocx […]

(CF)Eclipse/Flex Builder workspace crash – solution…?

by kai 14/07/2006

Eclipse is an awesome platform, I totally converted all my development to it some while ago and I even use it for writing documents in LaTeX in Eclipse. Just a while ago, I failed to get Marty from 01 converting to Eclipse as well, particularly to CFEclipse. One of the reasons was that his Eclipse […]

Sessions: Cookies or URLToken

by kai 03/07/2006

Just today I was having a discussion with some of my co-workers about using cookies or URL parameters for session handling. Or to be more precise: We didn’t discuss technical issues, but we thought about how many people there are, who disable cookies on their own or who have to disable cookies due to system […]

XML external entities bug in CF

by kai 17/05/2006

I’ve experienced a strange behaviour in CF when dealing with external XML entities. What I wanted to do was basically to break down an XML document into several smaller chunks of XML. Shouldn’t be too difficult, hmmm? I had two xml files, both located in the same folder: a.xml: <?xml version=”1.0″?> <!DOCTYPE myDT [ <!ENTITY […]
